Numerous charities raise money to support the Autism community. This support includes funding: for research to identify the cause of ASD; to promote advocacy efforts to ensure that needs of individuals on the spectrum are met; for programs to educate and enrich the lives of those who are on the spectrum. Some charities raise money to pursue a cure for autism. While I can see the value in knowing what causes ASD; and I definitely can see the necessity for programming to educate and enrich the lives of those with ASD; I do not really think that money spent looking for a cure for ASD is well spent. Why does Autism need to be cured?
Picture me years ago: I was shy, unconfident, and only able to talk to my close group of friends who knew me well. Fast forward to today: having gone through nine ear surgeries, endured eight years of bullying, and learned to live safely with spinal stenosis and to accommodate chronic tinnitus, I am an entrepreneur and developing a public speaking career. I am also Autistic. My persistence and my compassion for other people are responsible for where I am today.
Being Autistic impacts an individual’s life in many ways. Routine activities, such as running errands and going to school, and social interactions, are filled with challenges for the individual diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
