... Read moreCelebrating the Light It Up Blue campaign is a meaningful way to raise awareness and show solidarity with the autism community. From personal experience, wearing blue and participating in community events brings a strong sense of connection and support to families affected by autism. The campaign emphasizes that every mind is unique and every voice matters, encouraging acceptance and understanding. Incorporating inclusive activities, such as group discussions and educational programs, can deepen our appreciation for neurodiversity. It’s inspiring to see how blue lights around buildings and homes create a glowing symbol of hope and awareness. This shared commitment fosters compassion and strengthens the bonds within the community. Moreover, the message "Juntos iluminamos el camino con comprensión, aceptación y amor" (Together we light the way with understanding, acceptance, and love) highlights the crucial role of empathy. Embracing this perspective helps build a more inclusive society where every story within the autism community is valued. Being part of such initiatives not only raises awareness but also motivates continuous learning and advocacy for autism acceptance objectives.

Signs of autism in girls ✿
Autism may show itself differently in girls than it does in boys. Girls tend to be better at masking, so much so they might even trick themselves, and the people around them that they don’t have autism. it can be tricky to determine or diagnose. While simply relating to some of these symptoms may n

A graphic titled 'REMINDER FOR EVERYONE AS APRIL APPROACHES' advises against supporting Autism Speaks, using the puzzle piece symbol, or 'lighting it up blue.' It encourages listening to autistic voices, celebrating neurodiversity with rainbow or gold infinity symbols, and using colors like red, taupe, or gold for autism acceptance.
Why Autism Speaks is Harmful
Autism Speaks is considered harmful to autistic people for several reasons: - *Lack of Autistic Representation*: The organization has no autistic individuals on its 27-member board, and its CEO is also not autistic. This lack of representation leads to policies and initiatives that don't pri

A light purple background with white text introducing the topic: "I'm autistic Here's some things you should know." White arrows point right, indicating more information to follow. The Lemon8 logo and username are in the bottom left corner.
This image compares the rainbow infinity symbol to a puzzle piece. It states the puzzle piece is not a proper autism symbol, being ableist and promoting a cure. The infinity symbol supports the spectrum, acceptance, diversity, and unity.
This image criticizes Autism Speaks, showing thumbs down emojis. It details their funding allocation, with 44% for research and 21% for "awareness" and advertising, which are described as promoting fear and stigma. Only 1/28 board members are autistic.

A person with a backpack walks along a rocky shore towards a lake surrounded by mountains under a cloudy sky. Text overlays read: 'Before/after autism & ADHD edition' and 'Here's what changed & why it's important'.
A smiling woman with long brown hair looks at the camera. Text overlays describe her 'BEFORE MY DIAGNOSIS' state: quiet, reserved, wanting to blend in, second-guessing, poor self-worth, and lack of accommodations.
A woman with braided hair, wearing a black top and cap, stands confidently with hands on hips. Text overlays describe her 'AFTER MY DIAGNOSIS' state: speaking her truth, being authentically herself, standing behind choices, self-love, and accommodating her needs.
Why ADHD and autism diagnoses matter
I thought I was autistic for a year or so before I was formally diagnosed. And as far as ADHD goes, I was pretty sure I had it for several years before I was evaluated. So, imagine my lack of surprise when I was dual evaluated for both and it was determined that I am indeed AuDHD. But something
