DEDICATION

Dedicated to every baby, child, man and woman living with an autism spectrum disorder. Know that you aren’t alone, together with love, education, support and awareness; we can fight and embrace autism.

Introduction

Some time ago, autism spectrum disorders wasn’t a thing parents, caregivers, doctors or teachers talked about. Today, autism diagnoses are so prevalent, how can we not have questions or discuss it. Yet there is still much we do not know about autism, as the spectrum is wide. Ranging from low functioning to high functioning autism. Where a diagnosis is often either hard to get or parents don’t even know their children have it.

Awareness, education and support are the keys to fighting the symptoms of autism; as there is no cure. It’s more of a way of life; that people learn to cope with. Where it’s no different than any other mental condition or neurological disorder. Yet living with autism, is just like living as a neurotypical person.

Thus, a diagnosis is just what it is; a diagnosis. It does not define a person or determine who they are or what they will be. More like a different way to see, feel and perceive the world. So, we all have a choice when it comes to anything in life and autism is no different. We can either fight and embrace autism or ignore and hate it. What will you choose to do?
