I hate Autism

I love my son. But I hate Autism.

I don't bother if he is different or he thinks different. But I hate Autism.

I love his cute smile and spark in his eyes

I know in my heart that my son has a great potential in him. I am always with him and I feel that he have so much strengths. He is very cute and affectionate. His smile is contagious. He has great eye contact. He speaks and tells us clearly what he wants. He has his own interests and choices. He likes to listen to music and also sings the songs. He likes to play Wii and games on iPad / iPhone. He is hyperactive, energetic and great problem solver.

He is also good academically. He knows reading, writing and coloring. He is average in Maths, but good in puzzles, models and thinking tasks. When he is focused at task, he is at his best. He has good memory and remember roads too.

But when my son is unaware of his environment, I hate Autism. When he is lost with electronic gadgets, I hate Autism. When he can talk but can't do conversations, I hate Autism. When he can't understand reasoning and stuck on something, I hate Autism. When he bites his fingers and hurts himself, I hate Autism. When he doesn't act without prompts (still we have to prompt for everything, even for eating), I hate Autism.  When he wanders aimless and just lost in his own world, I hate Autism. But I love my son very very much.

Autism Awareness

April is Autism Awareness Month. Each April 2, Autism Speaks celebrates Light It Up Blue along with the international autism community, in commemoration of the United Nations-sanctioned World Autism Awareness Day. Light It Up Blue is a unique global initiative that kicks-off Autism Awareness Month and helps raise awareness about autism. In honor of this historic day, many iconic landmarks, hotels, sporting venues, concert halls, museums, bridges and retail stores are among the hundreds of thousands of homes and communities that take part to Light It Up Blue. You can get more details on Autism Speaks - Light It Up Blue.

Last year, Autism Speaks had organized fundraising campaign with "Toys R Us". There was a big poster in all the "Toys R Us" stores worldwide with photo of my son wearing blue dress. I feel very proud when I got to know that my son is a part of this big event. "Toys R Us" also used his photo on the Facebook cover for whole month.

Last year I have written a post about this event - Light It Up Blue

Yes, we celebrate April as an Autism Awareness Month. But I don't think, one month is enough to spread awareness. For us, who are dealing every day with autism, every day is an Autism day. There are so many people around us, who still don't know what is Autism. We have to keep telling people about autism and should raise awareness daily.
