Dia Mundial de Conscientização do Autismo.

1. Não tem cura, não tem cara, não é uma doença.
2. É um espectro, com muitas nuances.
3. Respeito passa por inclusão e acessibilidade.

“Passei por diversos profissionais desde a infância — psicólogos e psiquiatras —, todos com diagnósticos diversos: ansiedade generalizada, síndrome do pânico, depressão. (...) Cresci me sentindo diferente. Sabia que alguma coisa estava “errada”.

Precisei tomar diversos remédios que pioravam minhas questões emocionais, crescer deslocada e esperar mais de vinte anos para que o diagnóstico correto chegasse. Era tão óbvio, e ainda assim ninguém foi capaz de juntar os pontos e perceber."

I'm getting lost in the Romanov family albums...

As a digital artist/historian, these albums are very precious to me. Amazing.

Colorized by me: Dinner held on the Russian Imperial Yacht Standart during the Cowes Regatta, 1909.

Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra are sitting at the center of the left side of the table. They were hosting King Edward VII and members of the British Royal family.

"In August 1909 Nicholas and his family attended the annual Cowes Regatta. Nicholas II hosted King Edward VII and members of the British Royal family on the Russian Imperial Yacht Standart as well as being entertained on HMY Victoria and Albert III."

Happy #AutismAcceptanceDay - maybe it would be a good idea to accept and listen to us every day, and outside of social media as well.

Autism is not a superpower because not all autistic people have what you guys call a superpower.

There are millions who can't even speak. It is a disability (sometimes "invisible", yes, but still a disability) and it needs to be validated as such.

Yes, it's nice to recognize the "positive" things that autism can offer to some, but many have no chance of experiencing anything positive at all.

And even those who do (which is my case), still go through a lot of suffering every day.
