This month is April, and April is Autism Awareness Month. I haven't been posting in a while but thought it would be best to post again for Autism Awareness Month. For this post I wanted to talk about my view of Autism. I know there can be a stigma attached to it for some people and that there is a certan idea about it from people. It is classified as a Disorder, and in fact the D in ASD stands for Disorder. There has even been talk about it being a disease, a disease that people hope can be a cure. Autism is not a disease, it is not a disorder and the D in ASD should not stand for any of those things. The D really should just stand for Difference which is really all that it is, a difference. A different way of viewing the world, a different et of likes and dislikes, even a different set of skills. I have even heard Autism be viewed as a Super Power, which I like as many people have used what they are passionate about and great at to lead successful lives.
I used to buy in to the idea that Autism was a disorder, and that something was wrong with me because I had it. I even got mad as to why I had it and be ashamed of it. However, starting in high school, I learned to see it as a difference, not a disorder, thanks to some Autism conferences that I went to. I started viewing my Autism in a more positive light and realizing that it isn't a bad thing that I have this and it is not something I should be ashamed of. Now I realize that my Autism is part of who I am, it is part of what makes me me. I managed to complete graduate school and get a Masters degree while having it, and I have lived the last 9 months independently, working and paying bills while having it. It hasn't hindered me or stopped me. Additionally, the story of my successes has been used to inspire hope into others who have children on the Autism Spectrum. I have Autism, and it is nothing for me to be ashamed of, and it has not stopped me at all.
Well said, as usual, Jim. You are always very eloquent and you are an inspiration to all parents of children who are autistic.
ReplyDeleteIrrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
