Autism is a different perspective on life, and those on the spectrum have contributed so much to society! Though awareness is being raised and acceptance is gaining traction, let us celebrate those with Autism who have done so much for the human race as a whole.
Some states leave those with Autism without aid they may need after they turn 22. This phenomena of leaving Autistic adults out in the cold is a harsh reality that most families face.
For those who may not understand what it's like living with a physical or mental disability, disorder, or chronic illness, Spoon Theory is a helpful metaphor. It can also help validate those living day to day with said mental and physical trials and give them a helpful way to explain it to their friends and family who may not quite understand.
Ontario children with autism aged five or older no longer qualify for government-funded intensive therapy, a move critics say is leaving many families in the lurch.
Understanding The Spectrum
I hear alot of people misinterpreting or misusing the term ‘autism spectrum’. So for Autism Acceptance week, I decided to make a comic to help explain the term and how it affects things. Archie is one of the reasons I became so interested/knowledgeable in autism (I like to go all out in research when I write characters for comics n such) so he’s the one presenting everything! The rest of the comic is under the cut, because I don’t want to spam ^^;

Rather than the usual, linear “High Functioning” to “Low Functioning” label for those on the Autism Spectrum, it’s much more accurate and easier to explain that every Autistic person is different and has their own strengths and weaknesses, just like neurotypical persons!
Maryland Votes to End Subminimum Wage
There are many reasons for two autistic people to be different. Examples are:
natural differences between two people, similar to how two allistic people are different
someone who has always known that they were autistic versus someone who was diagnosed late
someone who was supported and accepted for who they are versus someone who was abused and forced to hide their autistic traits
There is no singular way to be Autistic.
Stimtastic sells affordable stim toys, chewable jewelry and fidgets for autistic adults, teens, tweens and kids. Run by an autistic person, Stimtastic celebrates stimming as a natural part of life on the autism spectrum.
Wearable stimming jewelry, keychains, charms, etc. as well as puzzles, toys, and stimulating objects of all kinds for extremely affordable prices!
Stimming in public isn’t a bad thing.
Stimming in public isn’t “odd.”
Stimming in public is natural and not a bad thing.
Statement on FDA Proposed Rule Banning Use of Electric Shock Devices
This could be a huge victory for people that this “therapy” has been used on, is being used on, and would be used on! This could massively benefit the Autistic community and those on the spectrum greatly!

Do you know a teen with autism? Are they being bullied or finding school difficult? Do they have issues with obsessions or collections or clothing? The teenage years are difficult for everyone, and especially for teenagers with autism. Brandon McBride, the author, knows just how difficult these years are because he has autism. Brandon wrote this book to share the practical tips and tools he learned by trial and error during his middle school and high school years with others. There are many books out there about autism, but none of them will give you the insight and help for teenagers found in Obvious Isn't Obvious.
Just wondering but does anyone know of like bracelets that would squeeze your wrists? I imagine them to be like 2 - 4 inches wide.
exercise wrist bands like the ones below are the best, they distribute pressure and can be pretty snug and are generally cheap[example]
i would NOT recommend using rubber bands or anything thin like that because it can really mess up your wrists and your circulation
please dont make fun of an autistic person’s special interest, i dont care how obscure their interest is. their special interest could be a book written 50 years ago. their special interest could be a cartoon. their special interest could be cooking. their special interest could be a singer. their special interest could be flowers. their special interest could be rabbits. whatever it is, dont make fun of them for it
"Smartphones have opened a door to a whole new world for our community.”
Apps can be life changing for some in the autistic community
