Callum’s School Experience – Autism Acceptance Week My School Experience – Callum Kirrage I think schools need to look past behaviour more and know that we don’t all cope with doing things the same way. #AutismAcceptanceWeek #autism #SEND annakennedyonline.com/callums-school…

#AutismAcceptanceWeek To accept we need to understand So let’s start with this.. Typical #autistic behaviours such as being direct & honest are often seen as rude But aren’t typical NT behaviours of telling lies, being indirect & making judgments rude? #educate #advocate

I have an interview on @bbcradio4 @bbcwomanshour on Friday between 10 and 11 am for #AutismAcceptanceWeek #autism #Charity #ThursdayMotivation

#AutismAcceptanceWeek If we have real Awareness why are autistics are made to mask their traits & have burnout? Autistics are made to meet NT expectations & differences treated as intentional misbehaviour EDUCATION is needed. Awareness means nothing to me What do you think?

Continual #masking which autistics are forced to do, leads to #autistic hangover, #meltdown & #shutdown It’s like forcing someone in a wheelchair to walk all day & still function The only result you’ll ever get from hammering a square peg into a round hole is a broken child

Autistic #burnout. It’s serious & impacts mental health enormously. And leads to autistic shutdown. It’s high time our neurotypical world had a true education about day to day life for autistics. That’s true #acceptance. Awareness just doesn’t cut it. #autismawarenessmonth

So who is REALLY making all the reasonable adjustments ? Long term #masking & being modified to look NT leads to #comorbid #mentalhealth illness such as anxiety depression sleep issues OCD impaired impulse control bipolar & schizophrenia spectrum disorder & suicide #autism

#autismawarenessmonth Autistics don’t just mask because they are made to fit into a NT world They mask because they’ve been shamed & punished from a very early age for NOT being neurotypical Masking is a survival response to trauma. And not about any desire to be “normal”.

#autismawarenessmonth Because girls can be so efficient at masking & appearing “normal”, they can often go undiagnosed well into adult life. #autism #autistic #autisticgirls #masking #undiagnosed #education #employability #gifts #strengths #awarwness #acceptance #support
