"I'm Alive Because of YOU!"

The Innocence of an adult with autism and his BFF Lost & Found EMMY ;)

Love You, Love You My Boo Bear  

Mommyand (aka) #SMAARTMom

Meet My son Dustin & My Inspiration for Creating the Autism Welcomed Decal Symbol

Oh, decedents of men she loved/trusted... what a great idea!

To me, there's just something about what the innocence of a child would bring to that kind of a role. Or even a high functioning teen or adult with autism...

#WritingCommunity

Lauren, as a mother of an angel with disabilities, I would like articles about parents and adults with #Autism who share success stories. What makes a positive outcome?

Son went out with his grandad today amazing how are kids adults with #autism behave like angels for there grandparents lol.

As the parent of an adult child with autism I always tell young parents to never underestimate their child Our children CAN They are true angels sent to us by God

I worked as a parapro for three years and have seen people on every part of the spectrum- the way he spoke and carried himself should NOT influence anyone’s decision on their theory of his guilt or innocence. His demeanor is very typical of someone with high-functioning autism.

One thing I know about people with Aspergers is, they dont lie, they are often shy at 1st, but once they know you, they arent the type you ask "does my butt look big in this" coz they'll tell you outright that if does with such innocence & charm.

The innocence of people with autism is truly incomparable, it's their raw emotion that's sets them apart from the rest of the world.

@realDonaldTrump

hope you can meet Ganesh. #helpganeshmeettrump

Brother godbless ur boy.His curiosity is apparent and his calmness is heartwarming to see he realizes this isn’t going to hurt us.Autism holds a special place in my heart for my niece is also Autistic and any child,I see an innocence about them that makes me smile.Good job dad

You’re not alone , we autism moms are in this together and know exactly the heartbreak you are feeling

give it time and a lot of therapy Jenny, things will get better !! Just remember that his innocence is soo pure that he’s an angel here on earth for you

Not just autism but any diagnosis/disability. My saying is "do not look at my child w/ different eyes when u see him do something that's considered out of d norm" & also "don't break away his spirit because he can still see the Innocence in life better than you" -Margarita Rubio

Same here brother. My youngest son is autistic and I cant imagine how anyone..especially a "father" could do something like this My son has random seizures and everyone of them rips my heart out Autistic children have more heart & love than anyone on earth Innocence of autism

The ABC series "Love on the Spectrum" was / is a beautiful uplifting and inspiring work. The wonderful openness, hopefulness and general innocence of the autistic folk is a lesson for everyone. Love for everyone has challenges. I hope people don't use autism to express contempt

I love being around people with Autism. They radiate pure energy and innocence.

My son has autism and he is just beautiful in his innocence, thank you very much!!! He does not have black coal for a heart and not beholden to Satan

When Quamaine helped me with the snow shoveling. He was happy to help. I adore him and his innocence. I hope he knows that. #adultwithautism #autism #adultoconaitismo #autismo #quamaine #autismaunt #snow

Mothers of children with autism know their kids intimately because they cannot leave them with anyone. They protect their kids fiercely, because they are vulnerable due to their innocence

Sarah's effective portrayal of an autistic role clearly depicted the charm, candidness, innocence and frolicsome attitude of people with autism.

Autism. A neurological condition where purity and innocence collide to form an abstract masterpiece.

THE REAL CHAMPIONS IN THIS WORLD ARE CHILDREN LIKE KAYLENE. WITH AUTISM  SPECIAL NEEDS & CHILDREN FIGHTING CANCER SO MUCH MORE LOOK AT HER SMILE SO INNOCENT

The people with autism can understand a lot of things very clearly. Autistic children tend not trust adult humans becoz for them they are constantly in movement which doesn’t allow things to sync with them. BTW they are fantastic human beings with a child like pure heart.

People with autism are the most perfect human beings on the planet to me bc they don’t bother a soul or hurt anybody an is purely innocent 💯‼️❤️

I have a soft spot for people with Autism.  We aren’t worthy of their creativity, intelligence and innocence

I love being around people with Autism. They radiate pure energy and innocence.

Thank you

God bless you too!

I believe people with autism are special gifts and their purity cannt be denied]

I’ve been the happiest in my life being around people with autism. If you don’t have a friend, brother, or neighbor like them you truly haven’t experience the purity in life.

People with down syndrome, autism, etc, arent capable of hate, malice, greed, intolerance, etc. They exhibit all the things that those of us "normal" people try to be but cant. They're not equipped to be evil. They can only show purity.

I dont know, that's my take on it.

By living with people with autism, we are be able to regain the purity

True, but at the same time these aren't necessarily different things: pedophilia, anti-pedophilia & dumb-girl-philia can stem from one & the same mental trait, i.e. the idealization of childlike Innocence; which in turn is arguably a form of autism: other people can't have minds.

#Undateables #TheUndateables I adore this show. The pure honesty love and kindness of these beautiful souls blows me away

. Their innocence and hopeful view of this world is something that could teach many. Appreciate what you have

#autism #specialneeds #learningdisability

Which film? I love the innocence of kids. Every day my kids say it as it is and their attitude keeps me so grounded. We could all learn a lot from autism x

This sickens me 2 the core.Trump started this he is to blame. We are one let us not forget this. We need 2 learn again from our young who see no difference. My son with autism never sees any difference. Such innocence. The world will not change him .He listens to me I accept all

My son who has been diagnosed with #autism loves painting.He is lifting my spirits with his joy 4 his work he has done.Some he started this week & finished. R #Hamilton #Ticat #Football colors. Love the innocence its so grounding 4 me. Blessings 4 all you are doing

Pope john paul the second said children with autism were closer to god than any other. They have a innocence about them.  We should take notice and learn from there how love and live

And now, some tweets from people who think Greta Thunberg is being exploited just because she's so passionate about stopping climate change:

If This Little Girl GRETA really has AUTISM How Terrible Easy For Adults To Manipulat Her IT IS A PARENTS JOB TO PROTECT THE INNOCENCE OF OUR CHILDREN IM SO ASHAMED AND SO SHOULD THE CLIMATE CHANGE COMMUNITY GOD FORGIVE HER PARENTS. THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THE DO

Democrats like John Kerry are using an innocent little girl with autism to feign innocence while the Democrats just voted to spend 738 billion dollars on environmental destruction. How ridiculous.

That's a good argument? Because it's what SHE *wants* to do? She is a child who does not yet fully grasp the perils of public life or climatology. She's also a child diagnosed on the autism spectrum. She deserves privacy and protection of her innocence. It will end poorly.

I've started to suspect she was selected for this job because of her autism. She can play innocence whenever someone publicly calls her out for the childish nonsense that comes out of her.

Greta is a 16-yr-old kid with autism who is being used by her parents & the crazy adults around her as a political pawn. She's not a savior. She's a kid who is having her innocence and anonymity stripped from her by a**holes pushing their stupid climate change crap.

I think she is being used. The fact that she has an Autism Spectrum Condition should be respected. She is very articulate and very focused partly because she is Greta and partly because she is autistic, but she also has the innocence of a teenager and someone with an ASD.

Adolescence is a complex stage of development in which various changes occur at a physical and psychological level, which can be more or less difficult to face. . The adolescent with autism is not exempt from these changes but, unlike the rest of his peers, it is much harder to deal with them because he has other challenges, linked with interpersonal relationships, the development of social skills and the management of emotions . In this way, in adolescence, social and functional deterioration may be more marked than in childhood. However, a small percentage makes progress in communication and social interaction. Many can strive to achieve a certain degree of independence and self-sufficiency, although they do not always achieve it. . However, statistics show that approximately 43% of autistic people are able to study and work once they have reached adulthood. . Follow -> @haapefl @haapefl @haapefl @haapefl @haapefl @haapefl .

Day 5: Special interests. 

Well this could be a long one. 

I have 1 special interest that has been with me since I was a least 16 although my mum recons it has been longer than that. It is responsible for the topic of my degree and both my postgraduate qualifications. It is my driving force and the thing I think about the most often. 

It is early years childcare especially when supporting those with special educational needs.

I am currently an early years teacher and SENDCo and am part way through a masters degree in supporting children with SEND. 

Advantages - I love my job, it makes me happy and I get to do it most days (yes there are days I hate but that's work for you). I am happy to learn more and keep up to date with changing policy. I am good at what I do. 

Disadvantages - No work/life balance, this is something I work really hard on. if I let it it could take up every waking hour. It went unnoticed for a long time as it is not unusual for someone to love what they do, particularly in childcare. However recognising it as a special interest is important to me and is helping me to balance it with other activities. 

I also have other special interests but these come and go depending on mood, what's available and time. 

I only watch tv in binge sessions, I have many tv series I like (Supernatural, the Witcher, Firefly, X files, Sherlock, Star Trek, and Bones) but I don't watch 1 episode and when I am watching a series it consumes me body and soul. I also love Harry Potter (which is problematic recently), for me there is a nostalgia, feeling of belonging, acceptance and fun that I love. I am a Gryffindor by the way. I am also a gamer with my favourites being the Lego games and Borderlands series.

I am a self confessed geek and always have been so none of these special interests are out of place. I strongly believe that women and girls on the spectrum have special interests but they blend in more than many expect especially if their knowledge of autism is based on young boys. 

Well that could have been longer.

Pura Vida has an #AutismAwareness bracelet pack with benefit going to the #Autism Society of America. While wearing colors doesn’t necessarily educate anyone on what autism is, it’s always encouraging to know that more and more people are expressing support for #neurodiverse people. Now if only society as a whole would start living it out! Especially in the workplace. Maybe eventually we can get there. It’s so hard when #autistic people often have anxiety problems and #neurotypical people are unconsciously (or consciously!) #abelist towards us. But I do think that change is possible! Autistic people are intelligent, capable, we CAN learn if you’re willing to let us, we’re passionate, empathetic, and compassionate. We see systems that others don’t see, we can see through emotional manipulation, and we finish what we start. Eventually the world will see us for what we are, not just as quiet, awkward people.❤️💛💚💙 . . . #puravida #puravidabracelets #puravidamonthlyclub #puravidalife #beach #summer #neurodiversity #actuallyautistic #adultwithautism #autismsupport #autismawarenessmonth https://www.instagram.com/p/BzCdgUhD_uE/?igshid=1vb97eau4rz7j

It was my birthday last week and my workmates got me a present which included a load of sensory toys. I love my present and then it occurred to me, they don't care if i stim, they don't mind if i find things hard and i need help, they don't mind if i obsess over things. I am accepted and i am happy that people like this in my life. Thanks guys the world needs more like you 😀

Day 20: Communication 

It is important to recognise all forms of communication not just spoken language. If I am anxious or stressed you will be able to see it in my body language.

Acknowledging this form of communication is so important particularly if it is a persons only form of communication 

#adultwithautism #autism awareness #autism acceptance #respect all communication

[adultwithautism]

Day 19: I hate it when.... 

People don't listen. 

Its that simple I know me and my needs better than you so listen when I tell you about them and what you can do to support. 

#adultwithautism #autism awareness #autism acceptance #just listen

[adultwithautism]

I am going to put down missing a day to not being well, you never know one day I may be able to post routinely. 

Day 17: Accommodations 

If there is a schedule then stick to it or give me as much warning as possible if things are going to change. 

Dont force eye contact, touch me without asking or force social interactions. 

Most importantly listen to me, I will tell you if there is something you need to do or something I am not comfortable with. 

Day 18: Someday....... 

not everyone will be compared to that 5 year old boy with autism that is the child of a friend of a friend. Autism is a spectrum, is different for everyone and everyone's needs are valid. 

#adultwithautism #autism awareness #autism understanding #you are valid
