Today I am writing to convey a very deep massage from my heart. As we all know that every individual is unique. Everybody is doing a very good job according to specified script. But we always talk about the negative aspects of a thing initially.

Why don’t we spread positivity?

Why don’t we spread hope?

Why don’t we spread peace and happiness?

Why don’t we wipe out the tears?

Because we all are innocent to the extent that we don’t know the pain of anxiety Alas! We don’t know the facts for sure. We don’t know how does a mother/father feel when they hear “Your child is autistic”. We really don’t know.

So, today I am going to spread awareness against autism’s wrong point of view.

First of all, we need to understand that autism is not an illness. Autism means your brain works in a different way from others. People with autism have different ways of learning, moving or paying attention. For instance:

They can memorize the information more quickly than others.

They think and learn in a visual way.

They have a logical thinking ability. They may excel in subjects like Science, Mathematics and Engineering as these are technical subjects and do not require to heavily rely on social interactions.

They do things with enthusiasm, concentration and passion.

They always like justice and fairness.

They seldom lie. They say what they think and feel straightforwardly.

They are often a good source of generation of ideas.

They are good at seeing patterns that other people usually miss.

A well-known(autistic) person Dr.Kerry Magro (National Speaker, Advisory Board Member) once said, “Autism can’t define me, only I can define autism”.

Just come with me and explore some famous people with autism who have made outstanding contributions to society.

1: Elon Musk: Founder, Chairman and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX.

2:Lionel Messi: Argentine professional footballer. Named as World’s Best Men’s Player of the Year 7 times.

3:Bill Gates: American billionaire businessman, investor, and philanthropist.

4:Sheldon Cooper

5: Eminem

6:Temple Grandin

and so many more.

So, What do you think now? I hope I am a little bit successful to update your thoughts about autism. I’ll be more than happy if you find my piece of writing informative for you.

Please share this information as much as possible and show your love, care and support to humanity.
