June 18 is Autistic Pride Day. What is Autistic Pride Day? Take a look at this link for the answer directly from the group who created it, Aspies for Freedom.
This date was unknown to me until just a few nights ago, when I found it while looking around for some things on the internet. I was thrilled that I happened to find out about it only a few days before it was to be celebrated! It is nice to know that at a day has been chosen to recognize that there are those who do not regard autism as a tragedy.
Hopefully there will be a day when the voices who sound this opinion will be louder than the voices sounding despair and tragedy. Most of all, hopefully there will be a day when all people are treated with dignity and respect, and all human life is valued and appreciated, no matter how "difficult" or "challenging" the situation might be.
