It is April, Autism Month. Here at AutLoud.ie, we support the Autistic Community in the push to replace #AutismAwareness with #AutismAcceptance. In fact, as our April website banner may give away, we think it could easily go one step further to #AutismAppreciationMonth. Because us Neurodivergent folks rock, and SPIN in so many ways, and the world should really know this!
Giving a voice to Autistic Adults in Ireland is a key part of AutLoud’s mission. As part of our launch month, we have been running some important and some quite serious content to support this. We have looked at the Autistic community and how to access it, Autism myths, do’s and don’t for Autism month, Autism and the workplace, Autism diagnosis, as well as personal journeys, life hacks, and so much more. All of this is to help us build our community, and explore real issues faced by us in the #ActuallyAutistic community.
We also want to share the really good parts of being Autistic. These are our USPs, our strengths, our passions, our talents, the breath and depth of our interests, and our creativity. In a nutshell, these are what make us awesome.
So in recognition of all that awesomeness this week is SPIN week. We are having a Spintastic Spectacular. This means a series of SPINs posts here on Autloud.ie, and a campaign to share them with the world.
Because sometimes awareness, acceptance, and appreciation are not enough. Some things need to be CELEBRATED!!!! #AutismCelebrationMonth
