by guest writer Lydia Wilkins.

A mixology of tragedy tropes and puzzle piece symbology; what do you get at the end of this equation? Autism Awareness Week is now over — and the idea of Autistic people being ‘the problem’ has once again been challenged, ridiculed, too. I even wrote about this for Conscious Being — and you can read that here:

Allyship and all that entails is a tricky subject, one fraught with so many questions. We cannot just be ‘perfect’; it is a process of learning, listening, and not expecting to be educated by us, with no input. If you would like to continue to learn about Autism — what it is, what it means, what it is like — then I’d like to suggest that you ‘read into’ experiences of life on the spectrum.
