Today is #AutismAwarenessDay. At the age of 12 I was diagnosed with Asperger, a form of autism. At that time I had no idea what it meant. When I and my parent...s told people I was autistic, they always reacted with shock since I didn’t fit into the stereotype of autistic people. Today, so many (especially girls) remain undiagnosed. The reasons for that are often lack of awareness, prejudices and the fact that many still see autism as a disease or something that has to hold you back. That more people are diagnosed with autism etc isn’t because there is an inflation in diagnoses but since awareness is increasing and many highly sensitive people experience stress related problems in modern society which gives them reason to suspect they’re on the spectrum. Almost everywhere there are very limited resources to give autistic people the necessary support. Without these adjustments autism can turn into a disability. But under the right circumstances it can truly be a gift and turn into something you - and society - can benefit from. Sadly, today the level of awareness is so low. So many go undiagnosed and will therefore not receive the help they need and may go their whole life believing something is wrong with them. So let’s all join in spreading awareness. It could literally save lives. Autism is not a disease. It’s not something you have. It’s definitely not caused by anything like vaccine or diet. It simply means that you are a bit different from everyone else. And in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same - being different is truly something to be proud of. Thats why I’m very proud to be autistic. #AutisticAndProud #AspiePower #ActuallyAutistic

Introduction to the ODSP is happening this week, on Thursday:

This is how it started: When an Ottawa Mom struggled to find supported but independent housing solutions for her 18-year-old Autistic son, her family decided to... convert their garage into a tiny home for him. They knew this was a short-term, individual solution -- and certainly not one that all families could do. But the experience led her to establish the Housing Through an Autism Lens project, in the hope of finding sustainable housing solutions. You can help by sharing your experience, as an Autistic adult, family member, service provider or other stakeholder. Learn how here: https://www.hal-lab.ca/micro-stories See more
