All children are gifts, so why say Autistic kids aren't. They are talented, kind, happy, brilliant and has a lot in stoke for them. But in our society today, most people sees Autistic patient as useless people, most people even find it difficult to associate with them because they are autistic. People in the society makes parents of autistic kids feel like their kids aren't special. Below are few things they want you to know:
1. Because someone is autistic doesn't mean they have anything to say or contribute
For patients of autistic , communication is regularly a battle in our verbal world. Diverse sources cite various rates, however it's assessed that 30 percent of autistic patients are delegated nonverbal. Be that as it may, speech and verbal language is just a single road of communication. Some autistic patient type, some uses sign language, some uses other means to help them share abd express their thought to the world. Autistic individuals have a lot to say in regards to everything, except our general public is not prepared or set up for us to hear them.
2.They're Exhausted
The measure of work that my autistic kids needs to do keeping in mind the end goal to function in a society that isn't neighborly to his neurological difference is perpetual. They are always working extra minutes to accommodate everything from the noise and lights to social cues (like eye contact and handshakes). They frequently exhausted. What's more, as parents to autistic kids , they must always advocate for our society to be more affable to people like him. That is exhausting as well. On the off chance that we appear to be fed up,we are too.
3. If an individual is autistic, he wouldn't be himself
Being autistic is a basic piece of identity of any one suffering from it. It's the manner by which they experiences, interfaces, and comprehends their surroundings. They can't separate themselves from it, and they can't make it leave, and endeavors at a "cure" just do more damage.
4.They don't need your pity
Over and over again, when parents to a autistic individual explain that their child is mentally unbalanced, they get a response like, "I'm so sorry." Their child is a gift to them. They are skilled, kind, happy, brilliant, and compassionate. They don't want you to be sorry, because they definitely aren’t.
5. Kindly don't stop welcoming and inviting them to things
Things like birthday, playdates, and picnic are regularly impossible for them(autistic patients. An excessive amount of tactile input, new food, and off the cuff social interactions can prompt high tension and meltdowns, so they will at times need to turn down your invites. However, don't stop inviting them so they don't feel neglected and forgotten .
6. The issue isn't that their child is autistic, the issue is that the rest of us aren't
Being autistic isn't a crime. It is part of the fabric of humanity. The issue is that our general public is organized around and developed by individuals who are neurotypical, making it an ungracious place for autistic individuals. The objective should not be to cure Autism, but rather to cure the places in society that make it hard for autistic patients to to flourish, prosper, or even exist.
7. They don't need awareness as much as we need acceptance
With 1 in 80 children being diagnosed to have Autism in any where, parent of autistic patients wants you to know that they have passed the point of wanting awareness. What autistic individuals and their families need are access to services, equal rights, fair pay, more employment opportunities, affordable health care, Medicaid expansion, and quality education. Autistic people needs a comprehensive and welcoming society. They require acceptance.
And lastly, They don't need your unsolicited counsel.
