Sometimes you hear about the bad things that come with being on the spectrum, such as not getting social cues, being overstimulated or anxious all the time, or feeling lonely, but I think that we should try to find the light in our condition and accept it as something not that takes away from our ability to live as ourselves but adds to it. We can't get rid of it--so let's appreciate it! What things do you love about having autism or your autistic friends and family members?

While it's true that some people with autism struggle with learning, others have an ability called hyperlexia that makes memorizing and learning incredibly easy. Likewise, some autistic people aren't the emotional blockades that some people stereotype them but are instead hyperaware of other's emotions, making them the most empathetic people around.

Lockdown was a reprieve. Learning is the breath of life. Colours are intense.
