'Our World': Evansville 12-year-old publishes book to spread Autism awareness
Twelve-year-old Deleah Payne wants people to know what it's like living on the Autism spectrum."The myth that children can grow out of autism — if their parents do a good enough job of educating or changing them — is harmful for the whole family. It can prevent parents from seeing and accepting their child as the wonderful human being they are and recognising their strengths."
Here's the truth about a dangerous myth about autism
Autistic children don't grow into neurotypical adults, they grow into autistic adults who are more likely to be isolated and stigmatised.My munchkin will never outgrow autism. What she will (and has already done) is learn coping skills for various situations. Just like other kids. Her difference is it takes a little longer to learn.
Absolutely!
Google AGT KobeLee he is blind and autistic and won the whole thing❤️❤️❤️❤️
