World Autism Day

Worldwide

There are 67 million people around the world affected by autism. That’s why autism is one of the few diseases with specific United Nations World Day.

Opinion

There are so many opinions on the subject of autism that it’s easy to get lost and confused. Today could be the day where we become aware of the golden gems hiding within.

Reality

Or should I have said realities? Autism is a spectrum and living with autism comes with its rainbow of challenges and joys.

Listening

There are more than one way to listen. Let’s make today the day we start listening with our hearts. How would that change our experience and our world?

Difference

I know that’s ‘cliché’ but everybody is different, autism or not.

So, let’s celebrate our difference and remember our sameness.

Acceptance

Acceptance… That’s the magic key which unlocks all possibilities and opens the door to freedom.

Universe

The force behind everything whatever way you want to call it.

Teaching

What are our friends with autism teaching us? What are we learning?

Influence

Our beliefs influence how we see ourselves but also others and have the power to propel us or limit us.

Success

Success comes in different shapes and sizes. So, what is success for you?

Mind & body

There are numerous accounts about the mind and body connection, especially of its role in the healing process. How far could we go using the power of the mind to help our friends with autism?

Decision

Every day, you are faced with a series of important decisions. Today, I’d like us to make a simple decision. Let’s decide to judge less and love more and make the world a better place!

Agree to disagree

Today is the day to raise awareness about autism and all its facets. What if all camps, from neurodiversity to pro-cure and anything in between, agree to disagree? What possibilities would that open up?

Yippee!

That’s my wish for today. I want to be able to shout ‘yippee!’ very soon because a solution to remove the disabling aspects of autism would have been found and the strengths of autism nurtured.

Have a great World Autism Day!

With love,

Karine
