Increasing Autism Awareness?

AutisticBeaut2025

What would you say would be the best way to increase Autism Awareness? 
It seems to me that unless you have been diagnosed yourself or know someone with the condition then that is how you become educated about ASD otherwise you aren’t going to be aware or know much about it, so how could it be increased? Any ideas? 
I personally think that if a famous person who is very highly well known comes out as autistic then it may get the ball rolling and people might ask themselves if they are too on the spectrum? 
What do you all think?xx

  • I think we need wider awareness that autism comes in many thoughts we aren't all super good at jobs or we aren't all non verbal 

    Some of us  can be super social as a learned making technique some of us can appear to be doing well at work but just being at work is drowning out brains with so much stimulation that when we get home we can't enjoy our selves 

    For example people say I don't seem autistic but they don't see my executive dysfunction and I'd they did they'd probably say I don't prioritize my bodies functions or I am lazy or have poor hygiene where in reality just waking up can be a battle with my self or glibg the toilet can be a last minute thing and I need reminders like a child would
