Autism Speaks…You Are #4

December 9th, 2013|

Quite a distinction..... When activists demand that "charitable" organizations (namely Autism Speaks) STOP bad-mouthing the lives of Autistic people and their families to create "action"... a funny thing happens. People pull out the "You must not be Autistic enough" card. I am shocked that people would accuse someone of lying about their Autism

This is Autism…

  ...A return to authenticity. A smart window into brain and body awareness many have ignored. A multi dimensional view of thinking abilities. Love and light. A realistic chance for humanity to heal itself. My son Wyatt. All of this... and much more. WE are each other's touchstone. Autism has been called many things by many people with very low information. Perhaps

We can go there!!! We love this word at AutismHWY.com ! It is precisely what we have been wanting! All roads leading to understanding of AUTISM. No more traveling alone in the dark. Instead a complete sunrise of Autistic information coming to light. Not the tired and isolating bombardment of so-called Autism facts that have been repeated from the past. But, a

...that need merging! I recently came across an excellent survey asking Autistic adults to look back and "rate" their parents/caregivers on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 for the least supportive and 10 for the most supportive.  As I read each answer with rating and explaination or just the rating  alone.

Knowing When To Say When

Empathy, just how much should we have...?   Empathy. When are we too empathetic?  When are we not empathetic enough?
