I've worked with kids with autism for a long time, and they have a special place in my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-awareness#post-1540913 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 19:14:13 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1540913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: thank you so much for posting this! it made me cry. Although I don't have experience with autism, I feel like the narrative on preemie babies is the same. You only ever hear the good stories (so and so was born at 27 weeks and now they're going to college, etc), or the stories of triumph through the odds, not chronic conditions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-awareness#post-1540834 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 18:20:34 +0000 spaniellove 1540834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so true. Most autistics are not geniuses. (I have ASD and get so tired of hearing "you must be a genius...you autistics are all geniuses.") Many autistics do not have a crazy special talent. Despite the uplifting anecdotes, autistics and their families still face many intense challenges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-awareness#post-1540818 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 18:09:10 +0000 Kimberlybee 1540818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/autism-awareness#post-1540433 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 15:40:50 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1540433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://thoughtcatalog.com/katie-tackett/2014/04/please-dont-forget-us-the-stories-you-dont-hear-about-autism/#HMrTxxlKDgbyV6Vc.01" rel="nofollow">http://thoughtcatalog.com/katie-tackett/2014/04/please-dont-forget-us-the-stories-you-dont-hear-about-autism/#HMrTxxlKDgbyV6Vc.01</a></p> <p>I thought this was moving and important to share! </p>
