Seeing autism in
a positive light

A ‘Super Autism’ shield, radiating light.

Here I describe how I came to shift my perspective
on being autistic, from a focus on my challenges
to a more advantage-driven perspective.

What we experience
is not who we are

Here I describe common obstacles in adopting
a more positive view on autism, and how we tend to
confuse our negative experiences with who we are.

The bright side
of being autistic

Here I list some of the more positive or wondrous
aspects of being autistic, in celebration of the fact
that our differences can become our assets.

The Embrace Autism team shares the latest updates on our website and organization. Who writes the articles under the Embrace Autism name, you may ask. The simple answer is that we all do; each of us alternates between typing a single key. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to write that way, but it’s all about the team effort!

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history. We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us. Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
