Today is World Autism Awareness Day.

But it’s not enough to just be “aware”
Today I met a young guy on top of a pile of mulch.
He was late for school, poor mum was trying to get him down, but oh my, was he having the time of his life.
Waving his collection of sticks in the air I wondered what amazing story he was thinking of.

I looked up at him and said “sticks! Let’s look at them” With a smile and my arms open, and he made his way down the mulch to share his joy with me. He then walked into school with mum proudly displaying his sticks in his hands.

The theme this year is — Autism and Humanity: Every Life Has Value.

And this is very definitely true!

That young guy brightened my Thursday morning with his pure joy. If only we could all be a bit more like him the world would be a much brighter and beautiful place.

Autistic people are not a problem to be solved. They bring creativity, perspective, and humanity to our world — and they deserve dignity, inclusion, and equal rights.

At first glance… this looks like scribbles.

But look a bit closer.

What do you see?

This is what communication looks like.

It’s not always neat.
It’s not always clear.
And it doesn’t always look like words.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not meaningful or equally as valued.

Because it’s not about what the child is doing…
👉 it’s about why they’re doing it.

If we focus only on the “what” (the scribbles, the speech, the behaviour), we miss the point.

When we shift our focus to the reason behind it, we start to really understand.

And that’s where the magic happens ✨

Less correction.
More understanding.

That’s what supports real communication 🌟
