Today’s poster is a little different from the normal days. It’s World Autism awareness day and let me start by sending good lucks to those people who are blessed with autistic people in their lives. I have learned through all the difficulties they go through, Autistic people open up a new dimension of love and life to others. So, let’s celebrate those gifts today.
2019 focus on the help of assistive technologies in the living of autistic peoples lives. Many are unaware of this and many are unable to afford them. At the same time, it is great to know that everyday technologies we use, like phones,Ipads etc... can be used for improving the lifestyle of people in the autistic spectrum. Here is a link that talks more on this aspect.
Studies show that one in 59 children are in the autistic spectrum and for some reason, this number is going up. That means we all have known at least one person with autism. Now it is time for us to learn to be more inclusive and learn more about this. No two people are the same so are the people with autism. Their needs, reactions to situations and how they see life are all different on an individual level. But, as a community, there is a need to change our norms to accept and assist people with these special needs.
I hope with a little bit of care, love, inclusiveness and the help of technologies, we can make them reach for their dreams.
