Autism is something that many people know about. For example, some people think that autistic people are fair-skinned males who speak in monotone and constantly go on and on about the same topic. Some people think that autistic people do not know right from wrong, avoid attention, and usually say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Some people think that autistic people are socially awkward and lack humour and empathy. 

 

If you agree with what you have just read, I am sorry to tell you that you do not have the right impression of autism. How do I know? Because I have autism myself.

 

Each of us is different and unique in our own way. However, there is not a lot of information out there on what an autistic life actually looks like. Autism is just another way of thinking and looking at the world.  However, it can be challenging sometimes because our societies do not give the right understanding to these people.

 

In my professional career as a professional counsellor and autism specialist, I have found out that many mothers and kids suffer from not understanding how to tackle those challenges, and not having the right coping strategies could lead to stressful situations and anxiety, as well as other mental health problems.
