autistics

A very good #quote from #굿닥터 #GoodDoctor.

I am still a little different from other people.
I speak and act a little differently.
So I tried very, very hard to eliminate the differences, but I couldn't do it.
The more I tried, the more it hurt.
So I thought I'd always be different until the day I die.

But many nice people filled in the gap for me.
And that is how I am standing before you today.
Thank you for filling in the gap.
Thank you for not avoiding me.
And thank you very, very much for your love.

“Autism Awareness” vs “Autism Acceptance”

In a nutshell, based on what I experienced just now.

#AutismAwareness is people just being aware. Nothing else. They still don't understand #Autistics.

On the other hand, #AutismAcceptance is taking an effort to understand and to reach out. To work with.

One is harmful.

The other is win-win.

Two stereotypes about us #Autistics is we like #PrimeNumbers and #EvenNumbers. I'm a “yes” and a “no”.

I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:
* 17
* 13
* 7

17 is very special.
* 17 is the 7th Prime
* 1 is an odd number
* 7 is an odd number
* 17 is an odd number
* 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us #ActuallyAutistics

13 is also special.
* A Prime
* An Odd
* A Fibonacci number

And depending on whom you ask:
* The 8th Fibonacci number
* The 7th Fibonacci number

Ironically:
* The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
* My height is 175 cm or 5'7.5" to 5'8.5" (depending on whom you ask).
* Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)

And I'm #OpenlyAutistic. ^_^
