Autism Awareness
Aware?
Autism Speaks
Who is Listening?
Autism Speaks
Loud and Clear
But often not in our language
We see………….but their behavior is not appropriate
We hear…….but their reactions are too loud
We listen………but we do not understand
Maybe, we need to learn another language
Maybe we need to see that they are speaking loud and clear
But we don’t translate the message correctly
Like morse code that has been interrupted
Like sign language with mittens on
Like speaking Spanish to one who knows Chinese
Like yelling at a deaf man
Like using sign language with a blind man
We see, we hear,
but we do not understand.
Stop, and let the autism speak
Stop
interpreting through your language
and start listening to their actions
Learn a new language
Let them speak
Let us listen
They have a lot to say……..

Am guessing my reply just shows my ignorance as I am new to this whole blogging thing and am not sure what receiving an ‘award’entails!

It doesn’t show ignorance at all. It just depends on what day it is for me to determine whether or not I’ll like it. lol Don’t get me wrong, I ALWAYS appreciate them but sometimes I just don’t like doing what it takes to accept the award. A lot of people who’ve been blogging for a while still love getting awards and then there are those “cranky” types who act like if you give them an award, you’re doing it to annoy them. Some people don’t respond at all. The only thing you have to do is follow the rules of the particular award you’ve received. The Liebster awards are the worst because they seem to take a week to finish. You have to answer specific questions and then you have to post a whole NEW set of questions for 15 people, who you name in your nomination. THEN you have to contact those 15 people to let them know you’ve just nominated them. lol I didn’t even know what a Liebster award was so I had to Google it.
