A nonverbal child with autism was diagnosed as severely intellectually disabled. Babysitter decides to give him some buttons for communication when he was about 10. It took some time, but the parents kept working at it.

Just before he turned 13, he learned to spell. And very quickly, they discover he is not intellectually disabled at all. In fact, quite the opposite.

Between the ages of 13 and 18 he didn’t just catch up, he sprinted ahead. He has now been accepted to MIT — the first person with nonverbal autism to be accepted there.

How many other people’s gifts have we missed because no one could or would work this hard to get them to communicate?

MIT admission: Nonverbal autistic student overcomes challenges

The teen spent most of his schooling in classrooms where he was perceived to be intellectually disabled — a misdiagnosis that delayed his ability to access the support he needed.

Hej, droga osobo!
Mój chłopak zbiera na diagnozę w kierunku spektrum autyzmu, i razem z nim prosimy Cię o pomoc.
Alan potrzebuje takiej diagnozy między innymi po to, aby móc pracować. Z diagnozą autyzmu mógłby uzyskać dostęp do miejsc pracy zrobionych specjalnie pod osoby z niepełnosprawnością, w tym osoby z autyzmem.
Niestety bez tego Alan nie będzie w stanie pracować, choć ma już 23 lata, i bardzo by chciał zacząć być samodzielny i móc zacząć zarabiać na siebie.
Liczy się każda pomoc, czy to w postaci wpłacenia kilku złotych czy podania zrzutki dalej.
Będziemy z Alanem naprawdę bardzo wdzięczni!

✨️ Hi, I have #ADHD and a bunch of sensory issues and i'm looking for one of those noise cancelling headsets. I need them to be good quality and durable, I can invest up to 150€ but if they're good and worth it I could maybe go up to 200€, but I'm broke af so the cheaper the better 🥲

#Autistic folks please help a girl out, I know you understand this very well and I'm desperate 🫠

Extra points if they're ✨️cute✨️

Thank you so much 💙

Thanks to my #autism, I'm terrible at maintaining and building friendships. I am a very loyal friend, though, and I would hope that my friends know they can rely on me to do whatever I can if they ever need help.

A comic fox is wearing headphones and is snuggled up in a blanket. The text says: Time Out: I‘m autistic and need a break because the situation or sensory stimuli are too overwhelming for me. I need to withdraw to a quiet place. A comic fox looks very stressed and desperate, the text says: Overload: I‘m autistic and can‘t process information anymore. I need to rest, please don‘t talk to me or touch me.
A comic fox is looking at a big and scary eye, he is stressed. The text says: Eye Contact: I‘m autistic, making eye contact is difficult for me and needs a lot of energy. Please keep that in mind while talking to me, I‘m not being rude. A comic fox looks calm and happy, he is wearing headphones. The text says: Headphones: I‘m autistic and audio processing is difficult for me. I‘m wearing noise-cancelling headphones to improve my concentration and to prevent overstimulation.

I have a very remote relationship with #autism, but this thread spells good reasons to steer clear of most autism-related public campaigns regardless of your own relationship with autism.

If you’re not autistic, please read: here’s how the cycle of autism misinformation works:

Neurotypicals (parents, researchers, autism professionals) decide to do something to “help” us. Usually it’s something distinctly unhelpful 1/
