I find this quite entertaining. To me, autism awareness day might as well be fingers awareness day. It's a bit strange to see people raising awareness about something that's part of you, there every day. Still, the purpose of this blog is to promote autism awareness and education, so I guess it's not that strange after all.
I wonder what people wish for the autistic on this day. I bet a lot wish for a cure, which I've discussed in a previous entry. Then some must wish for an education system that better handles individuals with autism. Although this is truly needed, I don't think it's the biggest need. No, if I could make one wish for this day, it would be acceptance. Maybe this day really will spread awareness, and people will understand the mind of an autistic a bit better. With understanding going hand-in-hand with acceptance, maybe I will get my wish today. If one person learns to accept, that's enough for me. So if you're reading this, remember that you can change the world bit by bit with just a little acceptance.
