I have been diagnosed at the age of 16. Many people have learnt about autism only through books and movies. I created this community to speak and educate about autism through lived experiences, as well as create a supportive community. This is for autistic adults, mothers, educators, whoever interested in autism awareness and lived experiences. Autistic adults are also allowed to share and educate through their own experience. As a huge believer of intersectionality, I also hope to speak about other identities and experiences that are a part of us and not just limit to autism. Most autistics are against behavioral therapies except CBT and DBT, we will not promote that. We expect that you listen and not judge. We expect you to not speak over lived experiences. We hope you don't dirty delete any comments, nor display any ableism. We hope that you accept autistic people for who we are.

Disabled people are the ones that mostly get bullied as our traits are always deemed "weird" which are not accepted by the neurotypicals. Bullying happens a lot, whether in schools, apartments, workplaces etc. Bullies can be children as well as adults. Bullying can take a huge toll in your life, it breaks you completely, and this pain, this trauma, will carry on for a long time, and it's not worth it. Please watch this short film by Much Much Spectrum and Ummeed Child Development Center where I share my experience of being bullied and what could be done! And yes please stop bullying disabled people! https://youtu.be/8BFwCXKkQPg?si=DbI-zjFN5h9FNrG2 #autismawareness #autismacceptance #autismadvocacy #neurodivergence #bullying

I studied Music Therapy at Berklee College of Music. I have worked with various different populations like special education, geriatric, community, psychiatry and medical. I will be sharing some of my interventions, old and new. Each of them has some prompts. There will be interaction and engagement, by either answering the prompts or by singing along, it will be in the description. This is to give an idea of how Music Therapy works. more
