Welcome to Litsy!

April #bookspin list, April is also #AutismAcceptance month (this is a shift from Autism Awareness because the majority of people in the Autism community are trying to move away from Autism being seen as a deficit or something that needs to be changed). A friend recommended the tagged book, which I‘m really hoping to read next month. I‘d love to participate in #DisabilityReadathon but not sure how much time I‘ll have.

Day 4 - #AutismAwateness #AcrossApril #AutismAcceptance

An activity book, a conversation-starter and an educational tool that teaches children about autism, develops their understanding and empathy for their peers facing this challenge, and engages them in learning to embrace people's differences with respect, compassion and kindness.

“The beginning of autonomy is being able to communicate ‘yes‘ and ‘no.‘”
So simple, and yet... #autismawareness #autismacceptance #redinstead #audiobooks

Yep, time to quit. 🤬🤬🤬 #redinstead #autismacceptance #autismawareness

This book is breaking my heart as it further educates me. Not that I didn‘t expect it. #autismacceptance #redinstead #autismawareness

This book strikes exactly the tone I was imagining when I decided I needed to go back to school so :I: could write a book. And with this bit that echoes my personal lending-library dreams, I‘m having all the feelings, don‘t mind me. #autismacceptance #redinstead #autismawareness

“By sharing the stories of their lives, they discovered that many of the challenges they face daily are not ‘symptoms‘ of their autism, but hardships imposed by a society that refuses to make basic accommodations for people with cognitive disabilities as it does for people with physical disabilities such as blindness and deafness.” #autismawareness #redinstead #autismacceptance #neuroqueer
