@chirp.social“Autism Awareness” vs “Autism Acceptance”
In a nutshell, based on what I experienced just now.
#AutismAwareness is people just being aware. Nothing else. They still don't understand #Autistics.
On the other hand, #AutismAcceptance is taking an effort to understand and to reach out. To work with.
One is harmful.
The other is win-win.
Two stereotypes about us #Autistics is we like #PrimeNumbers and #EvenNumbers. I'm a “yes” and a “no”.
I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:
* 17
* 13
* 7
17 is very special.
* 17 is the 7th Prime
* 1 is an odd number
* 7 is an odd number
* 17 is an odd number
* 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us #ActuallyAutistics
13 is also special.
* A Prime
* An Odd
* A Fibonacci number
And depending on whom you ask:
* The 8th Fibonacci number
* The 7th Fibonacci number
Ironically:
* The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
* My height is 175 cm or 5'7.5" to 5'8.5" (depending on whom you ask).
* Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)
And I'm #OpenlyAutistic. ^_^
