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

For Danny Healy-Rae TD to suggest that parents of children with complex medical needs simply didn’t give their kids enough “vitamins” is not only offensive and insulting, it’s also completely unsupported by science or common sense. #autism

Autism is like an iceberg, what you see on the surface (like social challenges or sensory issues) is just a small part.
Underneath? Anxiety, burnout, masking, exhaustion, and so much more you don’t see. Always be kind. You never know what someone’s carrying. #AutismAwareness
