...See more Hello Support Plus community, As I recently aged up to the adult side, which isnt as scary as youd think it was, I figured its a perfect time to show the adult side, just how amazing our little but mighty community is here in Support Plus. What better way to show them then by making a new forum post with questions that all can answer and have a voice on? Also, as there are new mods on the adult side, it makes for a really cool way to show the mods what Autism is and how they can see the world the way we as a community do. I grabbed the questions from: https://themighty.com/topic/autism-spectrum-disorder/autistic-people-answer-questions-about-autism And here are my answers to the questions. * If you could tell the world one thing about Autism, what would it be? If I could tell the world one thing about Autism, it would be that its not as hard to accept people who have autism and get to know them. as some people think it is. Simply saying hello to someone who has Autism, can change their mood in the moment. 2. What were some things that you were surprised to learn were connected to Autism? I was surprised to learn just how many people have dual diagnosis when it comes to Autism. Knowing that anxiety and Autism are diagnosed together really was a shocker to me at first, because I didnt understand how they could work together, but after expierencing both for a few years now, it doesnt come as much of a shock to me as it used to. 3. What's a myth about Autism that you want to debunk? The myth I have chosen to debunk about Autism, is that Autistic people are "anti-social". This is not true. We may appear anti-social, nervous, or we may communicate differently then the "normal" way of communicating, but no one on the spectrum wishes to be anti-social, rather they don't know how to properly communicate. 4. What do you love/and or dislike about Autism? I love the continued education and acceptance when it comes to Autism and related traits. On the other hand, I dislike the views that people have towards the Autism community, I was told once that not all people will get it, but that doesnt mean that not all people can look up stuff about Autism, either on cups or using the internet. We want to continue to advocate for our community, but we need everyones help in doing so. 5. What are some things an autistic person should never feel ashamed about? Someone who has autism should never feel ashamed about stimming, meltdowns, and communication difficulties. Stimming is our way of centering/grounding ourselves, it shouldnt matter in the way we do it. Meltdowns are out of our control, and they leave us feeling horribly due to that lack of control, dont shame a person whos on the autism spectrum for having a meltdown. Communication can represent itself in different ways as well and that is okay, coming from an ACC user myself. 6. Any final thoughts? Be supportive. Listen. Don't judge someone off the ways they present themselves. Be willing to learn about us and with us, not against us.

...See more Hello Everyone! April is Autism Acceptance Month. I wanted to drop some resources here that can be used by anyone on cups for a lot of autism related things. But first, I wanted to add a few reminders. 1. Please light it up red instead of blue as blue supports Autism Speaks. 2. Vaccines don’t cause Autism. 3. A person with autism is just as valid as a neurotypical person is.
