| Autistic Pride Day 2012 |
"Autistic Pride Day is a celebration of the neurodiversity of people on the autism spectrum on June 18 each year.[1] Autistic pride is pride in autism, about shifting views of autism from "disease" to "difference". Autistic pride emphasizes the innate potential in all human phenotypic expressions and celebrates the diversity various neurological types express.
Autistic Pride Day is an Aspies for Freedom initiative,[1] an autism rights group that aims to educate the general public with initiatives to end ignorance of the issues involving the autistic community."
Public Event · By Anthony O'Hagan
Read about a mother's hope for her child's neurodiversity to be accepted.
June 18, 2012 by Faiza Mirza
“I want my daughter to live a normal and healthy life but every time I take her out to an amusement park or for a walk, she gets frightened. The reason why she does not want to go out and play is because most of the parents do not let their kids play with her, always thinking that she will become violent and attack them if some thing goes against her will.”
“She is beautiful and different from the rest of the kids and incredibly responsive towards me. I appreciate her because she is unique in her own way,” she added.
It is important to realise that autistic children are mentally healthy. In fact, some of them have a brilliant imagination and creative sense, whereas others can flourish to great academic heights. An autistic child reacts differently to external stimuli because he/she is unable to interact socially. Hence, we’re responsible of socially accommodating them so that they grow up to become healthy individuals

An autistic child reacts differently to external stimuli because he/she is unable to interact socially. Hence, we’re responsible of socially accommodating them so that they grow up to become healthy individuals.
Amina Siddiqui, speech and language therapist and also the Director of Ziauddin College of Speech and Language Therapy, very rightly called the segregation of autistic children as ‘criminal’ as it further deteriorates their confidence.
Pakistan is still amongst those countries in which the general population confuses ASD with other disorders such as Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy or mental retardation. It is imperative to state that the symptoms and condition of a child affected by ASD are very different from the other aforementioned disorders and should be addressed immediately.
“A child suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder has definite symptoms, the most important being that an autistic child will never make eye contact. Generally, an 18-month-old child is able to communicate his/her needs by gesturing or pointing in a particular direction, however an autistic child is unable to do so,” said Siddiqui.
Now many children are shy and avoid social interaction, however, an autistic child will display unusual behaviour if found in a situation which disturbs his/her routine. The child will either cry uncontrollably or act nervous; however, they remain docile most of the time and do not harm anyone. An autistic child has other impediments also such as difficulty in paying attention and memorising.

Happy VALUE Day! sharing 'Artists and Autism' & 'Autism Exposure'
Hi-5! Just decided a way to share some good news. Blog about it.
On our Facebook page, we have the honor of highlighting "Artists and Autism" (administered by Jeffrey M. Kellan,who also has a FB link).
The art pieces and music features are wonderful.
Yesterday, we shared one of the art works entitled "ESE Extremely Strong Emotions".
We think sharing selections from Artists and Autism and from Autism Exposure should be dedicated for Sundays. Happy 'VALUE Day!' is the theme reflecting the inherint, innate, undeniable VALUE that is present in all people with a developmental disability.
Let us share what we wrote on one of the contributors Facebook page, after reading her piece with a question for Parents of children with this and other neurological conditions. We hope that Parents of neuro-typical children will seek to understand and share with their kids,too.

Autism Exposure Discussion: i have asked this question before but i think it is important as will help people understand autism better. As a parent of a child with an ASD what do you wish people knew or understood about your child??
5 hours ago
Kbj C- I wish people knew that my 5 year old son is happy, athletic and enjoys life. I wish they understand, that just because he has ASD, does not make him void of feelings, deaf or an inanimate object. Thus, my son feels your discomfort, hears your rude comments and sees your piercing stares. You are not invisible and neither is he. He is just as curious about you as you are about him, but, he shows manners, as he has been taught by his parents. He is a developing person with a developmental disability. ASD is not contagious- in the medical sense. Rather intellectually, non-disabled kids can learn from disabled kids - if adults would cease prejudicial prejudgements and seperation. [ Now let's sing, "I love you, you love me"...see most kids know this unifying song.]

Then we wrote:
I'm going to share this question on my Google blog - "Enjoying the Hi-5s of Autism - A Family Experience (of Life raising a child with a developmental disability). But, right now, I have to pray. Sharing how others sometimes view my child is painful.
[Kindly 'friend' each of these artists Facebook pages, too. (Artists and Autism and Autism Exposure). We hope you will learn a lot from them, just as we do every time we view their sites. We appreciate how they share their hearts, so honest, so pure.]
