Just listened to Damon. His message must go beyond the borders of the autistic world .As Dr. Deepa Singal said ,”are we really listening”
In my view ,the voice of non verbal autistics must be be front and centre in any National Autism Strategy.#CALS2021

The $15.4M announced in #Budget2021 includes a new $7M towards developing a National Autism Strategy.

With the experience of a global pandemic highlighting major gaps in supports for Autistic Canadians, a robust #NationalAutismStrategy is needed now more than ever.

[Senator Wanda Thomas Bernard @SenatorWanda]

April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth. I would like to pay tribute to the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity. It is the first 🇨🇦 journal that focuses on equity within the autism community.

@stelios ground-breaking work finds Age 6 is a turning point for children with autism – we need access to early diagnosis, shorter wait times, and greater supports in the classroom for these amazing kiddos.
Families do not have time to wait! We need a #NationalAutismStrategy.

Thanks to @Stelios_ASD for all the work he does to support an empowering vision for #autism #neurodevelopment

Defining "normal"
An Autistic writer defines NeuroTYPICAL syndrome as " a biological disorder characterized by preoccupation with social concerns, delusions of superiority and obsession with conformity. There is no know cure.” TRUE😂

It simply means that you are a bit different from everyone else. And in a world where everyone strives to act, think and look the same - being different is truly something to be proud of.
Thats why I’m very proud to be autistic. 7/7
