He had difficulty recognizing “individual space” as you will. However, his diligence and perseverance has aided him greatly in learning and developing Autism awareness 2019 shirt these important social skills and I’m elated to have the honor and privilege of calling him my friend.

Autism awareness 2019 collection

He’s such an amazing person and the strides and goals he’s achieved in life are an inspiration to us all. Growing up with Paul and being in the same class as early as 5th grade, I was a witness to how difficult those years were for him, as well as how difficult it was for most of the kids at that age to grasp or understand Pauly and what he was going through. He struggled with social interaction throughout middle and high school, as he stated in the video, Autism awareness 2019 shirt but it fell upon us as his peers to learn to accept his differences and embrace him for his uniqueness. Some of the kids, especially the younger woman, were cruel due to their ignorance of how Paul’s autism caused issues with him recognizing social cues and what proper social interactions entail.

how I can get in contact with Paul? I am on the planning committee for an annual conference called Honestly Autism Day. I would like to find out more and see if he would be a good fit for our 10th annual conference next year in April. What an amazing young man. His kindness and compassion for others is prevalent. I am mom to a soon to be young adult son with Cerebral Palsy. I am going to share this video with him. This warmed my heart so much, I’m autistic and proud. I was diagnosed at 2/3 years old, I didn’t socialise with people, I hid and only really interacted with animals. Gradually I came around and socialised more and more I was one of the first autistic children to go to my mainstream primary and secondary school instead of a specialist school, the teachers were phenomenal in their care and support.

I was given a “child of achievement” award and have since gone on to college and university earning a First Diploma in Animal Care, National Diploma in Animal Management (Distinction) and a Bsc (Hons) in Animal Management, hopefully going on to study as a student vet nurse. A lot of people do not even know I have autism until I explain to them otherwise their reaction is “you don’t look autistic” awareness needs to be raised about autism, giving support to not just children but adults. To all fellow autistic’s YOU are brilliant, amazing and are the superheroes of your own story, don’t give up, don’t change and love yourself!
