As an autistic adult, here is a concept I thought of that would have REALLY benefitted me and prevented burn out. (Every autistic is diff, though!)
š«¶using āmaskingā to the childs benefit. Allowing them the power to be themselves, while also getting by in an NT world. š§µ#autism
Ex: āHey, B. We are going to the grocery store. And youāll have to __wait in a line__ and you probably donāt want to! But you are special. (*Use whatever term you want-fairy, superhero, princess.*) and you have to try your best to blend in with everybody else while there.

Autism exists. Thatās not what we mean by awareness. š§µ

So, what we mean by awareness is: listen to us and help us how we need to be helped. We donāt want a red carpet or an award, we probably just want a little more silence. and for society to understand and accept us, as we are.
