Being autistic isn’t the only challenge my child faces. Alongside autism comes social anxiety and other hurdles. Understanding these “hidden” struggles is just as important as understanding autism itself. 💙 #AutismParent #neurodiversity #autism #autismacceptance

Society & the media still spread myths about autism, fueling fear & conspiracy instead of understanding. The real key to autism awareness isn’t sensationalism. It’s education, empathy & listening to autistic voices. #autism #autismacceptance
