...wore:

something old, something new, something loved and something blue...

Today is World Autism Awareness Day - wearing something blue is like showing your support.

Autism is not a disease; people with autism are not looking for a cure but for ACCEPTANCE.
Times ago my only approach to autism was that I saw 'Rainman' - then, in the internet days, I read more and more from people dealing with autism.
Parents of young children telling of their joys, fears and difficulties, of all the different concepts how societies deal with autistic children, the range is from integrative child care place to no support of all. How unfair!

But also autistic adults who found a place out here in internet, found their place for spreading their thoughts and emotions, found friends and communities.

You want to read a bit more? Maybe take a look into clear-space - it's just about personal words, she's a great girl and deserves to be heard...
