Here are links to new blog articles for Autism Acceptance Day, April 2, 2012. I will add to the list as they come in. More will be appearing throughout the day! Hang in there, everyone- write, or make videos, or slide shows, or whatever you can do on the ground to show that Autism acceptance is what we want, and what we intend to have. NOTE: I am changing how I am crediting the authors in both this ongoing post and in the links list on the side. I am planning to put authors names or avatars in parens, but I wont get to all of it right away. Too much going on! ANOTHER NOTE: The articles found on the Autistic Self Advocacy Network blog and at Thinking Person's Guide to Autism are located in other blog posts on this site in order to keep a reasonable number of links in each post.

It's Time to Take Back April! Autism Acceptance Day and Month. https://www.facebook.com/events/314081628698619/ ACCEPTANCE, not "tolerance," not "I accept you but not your autism." We require complete acceptance. Pro-neurodiversity, pro-supports and services, against "cures," Autism Acceptance Day was started to counter April "awareness" stunts that demean Autistics. It has since expanded to become a way of viewing Autism in a positive and accepting light.

ReplyDeleteI have a blog article up for autism acceptance month and plan on writing more as the month goes on. I hope this catches on in a big way. What a difference it would make. http://takealeftatthemoon.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteHere's to Autism Acceptance Month!
NOTE: I will move your links up to the main body of the article after reading them. I am supposed to be meeting with my earthquake assistance case manager in 45 minutes, so it might take a while, but hope to get to it today, and throughout the month. Keep those thoughtful posts and links coming!
ReplyDeletehi Paula, I wrote this post yesterday: http://adeepercountry.blogspot.com/2012/04/im-spasticus-autisticus.html I don't know if it's the kind of post you are looking for but I saw your status on fb so I thought I would comment with it.
ReplyDeleteI am going to add it to the list of links here. Thanks for sending it, Amanda.
DeleteThanks for doing this.

Whay time is the deadline? Do you accept late submissions? I just found out about this.
ReplyDeleteSince the entire month is Autism Acceptance Month and we are at the beginning of International Autism Acceptance Year (April 2012-April 2013), there's really no such thing as a late submission! You can send something any time since this is a permanent blog.
DeleteHere's an article I wrote on my blog today: http://cynthiajpatton.com/2012/04/479/
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are doing this!
Thanks,
Cynthia Patton
It is not too late to send in posts! This is an ongoing list, which I will update on a regular basis. For those who want their posts as a separate entry (reprinted), please let me know.
ReplyDeleteYou guys make it really easy for all the folks out there.
