Different But Not Less

Hello, everyone. Today, I will be talking about a sensitive topic and that is autism. As you may know that April is Autism Acceptance Month, and it is high time we talked about these kind of topics, but today I have the opportunity to talk about this today.

I believe we should talk about this topic often, because people need to educate themselves. If you don’t know about autism, let me explain it properly. Autism is a spectrum disorder (ASD) that affects how people communicate or interact with others. It becomes challenging for individuals with this condition. This also leaves an impact on their social skills and understanding of emotions. Also, it may include some repetitive or unusual behaviors.

To be honest I don't know anyone personally who has autism, but I have seen many in public place while moving from one place to another. When I see them, I alwyas think of how they are treated. Sometimes I see that parents are not that cooperative, sometimes I see parents are very caring towards their child and not being ashamed. I feel sad when I see someone with autism. I don't know what they go through, but I know that making friends can be very hard for them. Well, some parents don’t take autism positively and won’t allow their kids to play with someone who has autism. I feel this is unfair, and this kind of behavior is not a good thing for society. I've seen many people with autism who are very talented. I have seen some who draw like a fine artist, and many are talented in other activities, such as academics. In my area some parents believe that autism can transfer from one child to another if their kids spend time with someone who has autism, but that’s not true at all. Because it doesn’t matter at all. I believe those parents need to educate themselves more about autism so they can understand it better and not overthink it.

Well, people do not get the chance to select certain aspects of themselves; it is nature that cannot be controlled. However, accepting someone with autism is truly what humans are supposed to do. If people are more conscious of those who have autism, we can create a better world for them to live in. I think that everyone deserves to live a better life because everyone is equal and deserves equal rights.

If someone I know has autism, I would give my best to make them not feel any less than other individuals. I believe that everyone should come forward to help people with autism and understand their condition, because they did not choose to be this way. People should be more considerate and raise awareness about how to deal with these situations. In additions, Autism is not a thing to be shameful about, and no one should feel ashamed if one of their family members or if their friend has autism. I believe people should never hide them or despise them, but instead people should protect and treat them with love and care.

Let me know in the comment section what are your thoughts about autism and what do you think about my thoughts?

Thanks for reading 🌷
