Happy Autistic Pride Day June 18 2016 #autisticpride

Description

“You cannot fix what is not broken. Autism is not a disease. We are not incomplete puzzles—we are whole human beings. We are not tragedies—we are products of neurodiversity. Eliminating autism means eliminating us,” Chelsea Dub

The Art of Autism celebrates Autistic Pride Day today. Autism pride recognizes the innate potential of all people, including autistic people.

This is the 11th year of Autistic Pride Day. It was originally started by Aspies for Freedom and is now a global event. The rainbow infinity symbol represents autistic pride day and symbolizes the “diversity with infinite variations and infinite possibilities.”

The Art of Autism would like to honor Autism Pride Day with a recap of some popular blogs written by autistic people. We hope the next year will bring understanding, positive media coverage, and a recognition that all human beings deserve respect and dignity.
