Embracing Autistic Challenges

The Autistic Teacher

[poems-and-pens]

Everyone Is Different

Everyone is different

Everyone is equal

Do not tolerate discrimination

Do not tolerate ignorance

Do not be naive

Do not let the world get you down

Embrace your diversity

Embrace your culture

Know your worth

You are not alone

Um, I guess I like my eyes. They’re blue and bright sometimes.

My hair is ok, but a haircut is overdue. I like that feeling a few hours after I wash it and let it air dry and it gets super soft!

I guess I actually kinda like the fact that I’m autistic? I feel like I’d be kinda boring without it!

Life Is Good

Today I woke up an hour late for school. I got ready at my own pace and I ended up missing first hour. I walked the mile and a half, usually I listen to music, but today I just listened to the world around me. The traffic, the construction, the birds, the air. The sun was shining but it was still a little cold, but it was beautiful. I walked into my second class of the day, which is algebra. My teacher immediately said "Oh so you're not skipping your favorite class after all?" and I just kinda ignored her. She came by me a few minutes later asking me if I was alright, all I said is "one day, I will be." Well kids, teens, friends of all genders & ethnicities: I have decided today will be that day. I have no reason to be sad all the time, Life is too good. We are much too obsessed with the idea of "perfect lives" and perfect doesn't exist. Depression is not going to control me. Anxiety, who is she? PTSD, can piss off. Im happy. Life is good.

Encouraging Women to Embrace Who They Are

With 2020 quickly becoming the year of “cancel culture,” you find more and more girls and young women failing to see their worth. Women who knock each other down with a few strokes of their fingers across the keyboards, who hide behind their computer screens, often channeling their insecurities onto others. Girls are ashamed of themselves because they don’t look like the other girls in the magazines, even though they know they’re photoshopped, yet they still wish to look like them even though the image is unobtainable. So how do we change this? How do we enact positivity and self-worth into others around us who should know that they are perfect in their skin?

Positive Image Campaigns

In 2016 the sister company to American Eagle launched its “Real Me” campaign focusing on girls of every shape and size while also incorporating immense amounts of diversity into this movement. They started this movement long before the phrase “body positivity” was even a mentioned phrase. With this movement, they have inspired other companies to do the same, with magazines like Sports Illustrated showcasing plus-sized models. Arie’s campaign also stopped airbrushing their models, featuring the imperfections like stretch marks, moles, and things that make every woman different, but unique in their way. Now featuring the hashtag “Aerie Real,” everyday female shoppers can feature themselves in selfies that are often uploaded to the group’s website and Instagram pages. With it seeing such positivity, other brands have also started to adopt this more authentic policy.

Being You

Women like Sierra Shultzzie, La’Tecia Thomas, and Grace F Victory, all promote loving yourself. How to become more accepting of the body you are in, all while making you feel like what you want to do, is okay, but no matter what, you should remain confident in yourself and the skin you are in. With daily routines, curvy fashion videos, and days in life, these girls showcase themselves in their everyday lives showing that you won’t feel 100% perfect every day, but trying is better than nothing.

Remaining True To Yourself

While we live in a world that is so focused on being perfect, you should remember to be yourself. Exercising and eating healthy when done right can help you to feel positive about yourself and your body, but remember not to take it to an extreme for yourself. Don’t feel pressured to fit into a mold that is deemed unrealistic. Take time to encourage positivity and confidence in yourself, and most importantly, love the skin you are in.

One of these things is not like the other. One of these things does belong because just because you’re different doesn’t mean you have to be separated and isolated from those around you. Embrace your differences, you funky little human.

We dont get to choose our skin colour, our sexualities, our genders, our family, or our history.

Who we are is who we are because that's how life is. Injustices against our rights to be who the hell we are is just plain stupid.

Black, white, asian, middle eastern, latino, chicano, ect. YOU MATTER.

Gay, lesbian, straight, transgender, pansexual, queer, demi, asexual, agender, ect. YOU MATTER.

Mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, ect. YOU MATTER.

What we go through together and how we communicate our passions through love and positivity will keep us united.

Don't ever turn your back on love, hope, good people, and happiness. YOU MATTER.

Every life matters. Every story matters. Every human on this planet had a purpose. Go out there and show the world what yoy stand for.

DONT EVER LET SOMEONE ELSE'S BELIEFS CONTROL YOUR BELIEFS. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PURPOSE.

LOVE MATTERS. YOU MATTER. EVERYBODY.... MATTERS.
