I don't really care if someone uses the term "autism awareness" instead of "autism acceptance" and I honestly think both are important
a lot of people, including myself in the past, say that people are now aware of autism and we just need acceptance but I disagree.
me and my mom were having a conversation a while back and she was talking about the fact that people know the word "autism" but don't know what autism actually looks like. when my mom was raising me people were very aware that autism existed but would constantly chastise her about how she was being a bad parent when my autism was visible. multiple people suggested that my "behavior problems" could be solved with a belt.
those people knew about autism but they didn't see my autism. my autism was visible but they saw it as "behavior problems" and "defiance" and "disruption" not autism. they didn't know what autism actually entails.
being any level of visibly autistic will put you in this situation even today. people might be aware of autism but not aware enough of autism to know that the way I'm acting is just autism.
we do need autism awareness. people need to know what autism actually looks like. people need to know more than just the word.

Hello, I'm Lina from Gaza🇵🇸🍉. I'm part of a family of 8. I'm married with two young children. We've been bombed, besieged, and starved. Sadly, I've lost many of my family members❗ and I can't afford to lose any more. With a heavy heart, I'm asking you to help me spread my campaign. Please, what I'm asking is too much. Can you write a post about my story and share it with your friends? I desperately need your support. My father and brother were injured in the bombing and are in critical condition. They need to travel for treatment. I need your support. The genocide is still going on
You are my only hope for survival.

This is not only in Nickelodeon, people need to stop assuming that it is. This is everywhere.

Hi! I hope you are all having a good day, if possible, it would mean the world to me if you could give your attention to Amal’s (@amalashuor) fundraiser!
Her family is hoping to escape Gaza and their gofundme is around halfway to their goal, so any money you spare would go a long way! I’ve corresponded with her a few times and she’s an incredibly kind and caring woman, who’s doing everything she can to keep her family safe. If you cannot donate, please at least share! Her account has also been verified here. The more people see this, the better! ❤️
T-Rex Talents is an incredible FX artist I have had the honor of witnessing the work of, who is currently in a rough spot. In his words:
My name is Logan. I'm a 29 year old disabled makeup fx artist. I've broken bones over 300 times and had 19 surgeries. Leaving me wheelchair bound. And needing many medical necessities. And Art as my only outlet from said struggles. Unfortunately I had to relocate to a new state due to family tragedy. Relocating has caused unforeseen issues. Therefore I do not have insurance that covers all I need for my chronic illness. Also it's caused me to leave behind all my art/makeup fx supplies. However the main concern is medical supplies. As we've exhausted every outlet for help. Including charities, case workers, and more. My mom is unable to work due to no insurance for home health aids to care for me while she does. My disease causes severe pain every day. Worrying about finances for medical supplies such as incontinence supplies, and other stuff is just another stress. And not having any outlet with none of my art supplies is making it worse. My dream is to make people see that someone disabled can be successful in the film industry. But I feel like my current situation makes it nearly impossible. I can't afford art materials when I'm trying to afford medical supplies. And not even affording that. There's no help here.
I suppose there's just no getting around the e-begging - I had to go to the emergency room on Monday because I was, for good reason, under the impression that I was experiencing a life-or-death medical emergency. This turned out to not be the case, and what I was dealing with ended up being unpleasant but not life-threatening, but now I have to pay for hospital fees and a litany of tests!
Any financial help at all would be massively helpful as I deal with paying off what is going to be, conservatively, two to three months of my current income for the crime of not wanting to die if I can help it.
