Autism is a neurological and developmental disorder. They may face trouble expressing themselves. Many autistic individuals have the tendency to spend a lot of time doing the same thing and resist much change around them. However, autistic individuals are incredibly talented as well. They can remember things in detail for a long time and learn easily using their senses.
It is just that they see, hear and feel the world through a different perspective. We should strive to make these particular people’s life better by being loving, empathetic, humane, and caring, not hell by discriminating and bullying them.
“Once we accept that everyone is different who cannot be odd out based on ability and disability, we make a difference.”
Scientifically, autistic people feel more relaxed with music and animals than humans. It might be because animals and music understand them more without judging them. It is the thing that we should mull over. Unconditional love and care can do what even medicines cannot. It can bridge all communication gaps. Moreover, it is not only about one autism and other disorders. To turn disability into power, I want to share some of my favorite autism quotes.
