How do you talk to kids about autism? It's essential to embrace differences and foster understanding from a young age. Friends of Autism believes in teaching children that everyone's brain is unique, with its strengths and weaknesses. By explaining that not all disabilities are visible and promoting kindness and inclusion, we can create a more accepting and empathetic society. Let's educate our children to celebrate diversity!

STUDENT.STAFF.COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT As an appropriate ending to Autism Empowerment Month, our Director of Diversity & Community Inclusion, Lindsay Wagner, participated in a Massachusetts Association of Approved Private Schools (MAAPS) panel discussion at The New England Center for Children Inc. on the topic of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in Communications. Lindsay shared our League School philosophy that "respect begins with language" and how we strive to use neurodiversity-affirming language that supports our students and respects their individuality. Enjoy Respect Begins with Language from the Uniquely Human Podcast and consider shifting your language to some of these more affirming options. Thanks for making Autism Empowerment Month a spectacular series of unifying and supportive events! #AutismEmpowerment #studentempowerment #staffempowerment #communityempowerment #dei #diversityequityinclusion #uniquelyhuman #respectbeginswithlanguage #worldautismmonth2024 #worldautismmonth

"Portrait of Autism" 2024 Year 6! This project is time consuming and challenging, but it is incredible. Each year I get to connect with other families like mine, struggling daily, celebrating accomplishments others see as minuscule but to us they are massive, fighting for equality, and finding encouragement within the autism community. Behind all of these faces are different interests, skills, and personalities. I'd like to thank everybody who was part of the project this year. Also a special thank to my wife Amaris who helps every year with the project. #autismacceptancemonth #autism #autismawarenessmonth #autismawareness #lightitupblue #redinstead #artwork #family #autismmom #autismdad #differnetnotless #painting #pastel #drawing #portraitofautism #autismawarenessday #art #portraitpainting #portrait #oilpainting #pencil #charcoal #asd #mentalhealth #contemporaryartist #artforautism #autismspeaks #30 #worldautismawarenessday #worldautismmonth

For them. Always for them. 💙💙 _____ If you know anyone that may be interested in following along with our journey, please share Sawyer + Grayson, My Sunshine with them. #sawyerandgrayson #WorldAutismMonth #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autism #autismmom

Good Tuesday Morning and this day April 30th is the last day of Autism Awareness Month. As it is the last day of Autism Awareness Month I want to address what this means. I made this to oppose the use of the R word. I don’t even want to tell you what it is but it is a very terrible and foul name for those with intellectual disabilities (including ones with autism) (mainly non verbal autism). Sadly even many scientists would say this word and even some textbooks would too. If you look at my highlights below my profile in the one that says “important” you’d see that I mentioned that my nutrition textbook had that word. Share this post and spread awareness. Textbooks should not use that word. Ever. #therword #worldautismmonth #autismawareness #notorword #intellectualdisabilities #textbooks

As we come to the end of World Autism Month, we wanted to round things up by asking From Devon With Love alumni Luca and Philip why it's continuing to demystify neurodiversity through their art: "There’s always more work to do. We are part of presenting a view of autistic people in a non-medicalised, non-stereotypical, real and sometimes surprising way." "I think that one of the messages of our show is that it is something that could really inspire you to create something yourself. Your own play, performance, art, writing or whatever... Everyone has a story to tell." Don't miss out on the final two chances to catch their show Washing Machine of Destiny - on at The Barnfield Theatre on 10 & 11 May. . . #performingarts #RuralTouring #worldautismmonth #whatsonindevon #SouthWest #WorldAutismMonth #ruraltouring #neurodivergent #Neurodivergence #neurodiverse #neurodiversity

Are you wondering whether you should get an Autism Diagnosis for yourself or your child? You might suspect you or your child are autistic and are not sure if a diagnosis is the right way forward. I want to share my thoughts and experiences with you here. Hopefully, it will help you with your decision. I have to point out once again, that this is just my opinion. Please remember, every autistic person is different! Autism Diagnosis for a Child 🧒 I was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome (high-functioning autism) at eight years old. When I was writing my book, I included a chapter about my diagnosis, and the process of looking back confirmed to me that it had been very advantageous to get my diagnosis early. I benefited in the following ways: 👉 I had a choice of which school I wanted to attend based on what my family perceived to be the best option for me. We had to fight to get funding for a private school placement. However, all the schools in our area were inadequate for my needs at the time, which helped us with our case. 👉 My school received funding for 1-2-1 and classroom support and I had 25% more time in exams. 👉 I received a range of funded support later at university. 👉 I was aware from an early age that I was different from my peers, which explained a lot of my behaviours. It initially didn’t help me with accepting myself, but it helped me understand. 👉 As an adult, I was able to go through my diagnosis report and attribute each of my struggles to the diagnostic traits. It eventually helped me accept myself and put strategies into place to manage my challenges. 👉 I had a Statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN), which is similar to the current Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP). I believe that the EHCP still allows funding for school support. Autism Diagnosis for an Adult 🧓 I know many adults who have been diagnosed later in life. Their reasons for seeking a diagnosis varied. I also know some adults who have chosen not to seek a diagnosis. To be continued in the comments... #WorldAutismMonth #Autism #AutismDiagnosis #AutismAwareness

4/30/2024, 10:43:44 AM

I often get asked “how do I get my child (or myself) an Autism diagnosis? I think they (or myself) is on the Spectrum.” And on the final day of World Autism Month, I would love to share my experience and recommendations as a Mom and caregiver that has gone through this process twice with two young children. The process is a bit different being diagnosed during childhood versus adulthood. However, the one thing I would tell both a parent of a child and/or an adult that suspects that they may be on the Autism Spectrum is always trust your gut. If you think that your child is developmentally delayed in speech and communication, or has sensory processing struggles, or has atypical repetitive behaviors, please share your concerns with your child’s pediatrician. Pediatricians can guide you to providers that can help your child get an Autism evaluation, such as a developmental pediatrician, a psychologist, or a psychiatrist. Your child’s pediatrician can also track and monitor their milestones to help keep records on their development. You can also reach out to your public school system for early intervention services, such as speech, occupational, and physical therapies. Bath Sawyer and Grayson’s early intervention services had a strong parent training component so I could help integrate ideas and strategies at home to help them thrive. Ultimately, both boys received eligibility for support services within the school setting, including IEPs (Individualized Education Program). If you are an adult that suspects that you may be on the Autism Spectrum, I would speak with your primary care physician, who can guide you to a psychologist or psychiatrist that has expert training in diagnosing Autism. These providers can used specialized diagnostic tools (surveys, evaluations, questionnaires) combined with your childhood developmental history to guide you through this process. They can even interview family members to help discuss your developmental milestones and history. (Continued in the comments)

In an effort to spread knowledge and acceptance of something that has affected our family I have started a project; from April 1st to the 30th I will be creating a drawing of an individual with autism. Day 29 Meet Anthony " When my son Anthony was born I fell in love and knew he would be so special and precious to me. He is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with Autism and Cerebral Palsy. None the less, he’s such a happy kid and he loves going to school. He loves his teachers and learning and has learned new ways to move around communicate to do everyday tasks. He’s very innovative. He’s such a bright spirit. Everyone who meets him loves him. He loves being outside and looking at the birds and cars. He also loves books and balls. The swing is his favorite thing at the park. He loves music and always tries to dance. He’s a determined little boy and nothing stops him when he puts his mind to something. He’s so loved and admired. I’m so happy to be on this journey with him." #autismacceptancemonth #autism #autismawarenessmonth #autismawareness #lightitupblue #redinstead #artwork #family #autismmom #autismdad #differnetnotless #painting #pastel #drawing #watercolorpainting #watercolor #autismspeaks #art #portraitpainting #portrait #oilpainting #oil #pen #pencil #charcoal #asd #mentalhealth #worldautismawarenessmonth #worldautismmonth

For #WorldAutismMonth, several schools hosted Jake's House Flag Raising events and cheque presentations after organizing DIY fundraisers to support our autism community! Chaminade College and Iona Catholic Secondary School both kicked off their celebration with speeches about the importance of supporting the autism community and their connection with Jake's House. For example, Chaminade College has made raising the flag with Jake, our namesake, an annual tradition every April 2nd, World Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day, reflecting a strong bond of support and friendship for the past 20 years. Iona Secondary School's journey with Jake's House is relatively new, yet undeniably impactful. Last year, their dedicated staff organized and hosted a Winter Dance in collaboration with Jake's House, providing a joyous and inclusive environment for over 100 students with exceptionalities. These events truly showcase the power of teamwork and collective effort in making a positive impact.

Posted @withregram • @nationalautism When the brain becomes overwhelmed, panic naturally occurs. The degrees of this can vary, but one thing's for sure: compassion and understanding for these individuals can help prevent further trauma. #WorldAutismMonth

As we come to the end of Autism Awareness Month, we are sharing a new blog focusing on how families and local law enforcement can partner together to ensure the safety of those living with autism. Thank you to Michelle for sharing this story of how her brother-in-law recognized an opportunity and took action to improve the relationship of first responders with those in their community who are autistic. AJ and Jaxon should inspire us all! https://www.hopeforhh.org/partnering-families-with-local-police/ (link in bio) ��� #WorldAutismMonth #HopeForHH #ASD #autism #comorbidity #braintumor #epilepsy #complexsyndrome #hypothalamichamartoma

🧩 The month of April marks #AutismAwarenessMonth - and students at @pearlrivermiddleschool had the opportunity to hear from fellow #PRMSPirates about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and how it may look different for everyone. Students Riley B., (grade 6), Avery L. (grade 7), and Emma K. (grade 7) visited classrooms to raise awareness through engaging presentations and open discussions. Avery L. (pictured) spoke with teacher Brianna Reale's seventh grade PEP class about the challenges and strengths her brother experiences as an individual diagnosed with ASD. Avery discussed how ASD refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. She also shared personal experiences she's had with navigating her brother's condition - emphasizing the importance of being kind, understanding and patient when engaging with those that have the disorder. @autismspeaks #PRSDStrongerTogether #ActFearlesslyForChange #WorldAutismMonth

Balancing the needs of both typically developing children and those with autism can pose significant challenges for mothers. For instance, neurotypical children often enjoy attending birthday parties with abundant sounds, music, and stimulation, while it can be challenging for their autistic siblings to participate calmly in such events. #BehaviorSimplified #WorldAutismMonth #WorldAutismDay
