Things I learned over the past year about: autism, and the autism community.
1: Early intervention is key!
2: More easily accessible services need to be made available for persons on the autism spectrum.
3: Autistic vs. Person with Autism vs. Person on the Autism Spectrum. Learn the distinction, implications, and what each individual prefers to be called
4: Autism self-advocates need to be included in the discussion about their issues
5: Parents, siblings, & educators are a force to be reckoned with.
6: Researchers need to make newly found information easily accessible and easy to understand.
2014 Goal: My goal of 2014 is to learn more about the disability rights movement, autism interventions, and cross-cultural perspectives on autism.
