Justme

Do any of you find it wrong?

 

To me I am not embarrased nor am i ashamed of my Son being Autistic I am very Proud of him and who he is yet this other person took it to be offencive! I don't see it like that at all!

  • i have made my own branded badges and clothing for five years now, so am always 'introduced' as autistic

    it has made things significantly less stressful for me because for that split second people check their assumptions before taking offence with me making interactions in shops etc. much easier and i don't cause unease when i avoid speech and eye-contact

    most people are grateful to have had the 'heads up' and the opportunity to display their sensitivity skills

    in this time only six people have mentioned it. two said "are you?", two said "that's a good idea" and two said "it's a shame you have to wear that"

    what is also important is that people don't have to give you your legal equality rights unless they could reasonably have known about a disability
