TRIPLE + DOUBLE A CURE for autism (ASD)

I’m always in the middle of debates for origins and consequently for the cures for autism (ASD).

As previously mentioned in one of my Slovene posts in this blog, I don’t need a cure for ASD or for any of our other neurodiverse traits (DCD/dyspraxia and ADHD). I love my and my son’s weird nature, our inventiveness, our need to push forward, and our ability to think out of the box.

Curing ASD would kill me.

I wouldn’t be the one who I am today.

An aspie wonderwoman…

And my son wouldn’t be an aspie superhero boy.

You might think we’re nuts.

Parents of other ASD children usually think I’m nuts, since I don’t want to heal or cure our ASD.

Don’t get me wrong, I DO have a need to cure – my insomnia, my insecurities, my anxiety, my on again off again depression.

Same goes for my son’s disabilities in terms of mental health balance.

For secondary induced impediments, illnesses and states regarding our mental health – we DO NEED A CURE!

For the rest of our impediment – we just need our TRIPLE A CURE.

Help your children get “cured” with a triple A cure:

1. Awareness,
2. Acceptance and
3. Appreciation

And (for other peoples’ sake) in terms of addaptive behaviour skills… We DO need a PLUS DOUBLE A CURE:

1. Accomodation and
2. Accessibility

It’s all in the letter “A”, a-a-a-a-a!

A for ASD and A for AS.

Have a wonderful international AuTiSTiC DAY!

Ignorance -> Awareness -> Tolerance -> Understanding -> Acceptance -> Appreciation

AWARENESS IS NOT ENOUGH!
