themighty.comthemighty.com:

Autism Awareness Month has gone through a few makeovers along the years. We autistics quickly tired of the word awareness. I think most people are aware that we exist nowadays.

It also makes it feel more like a rare disease than a neurological disorder. This year, most people have gone with the term Autism Acceptance, which is a step in the right direction.

It’s still not enough, though. Is acceptance the best we can do? To me, that sounds like the bare minimum. The dictionary definition of acceptance is the action or process of being received as adequate or suitable, typically to be admitted into a group.

6 Things You Can Expect During an Inpatient Psychiatric Stay
If you’ve ever seen the movie “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” it is a terrible depiction of what inpatient hospitalizations look like today with the Nurse Ratched character or the lobotomies performed on patients. Unfortunately, those were the circumstances back in the day, but it doesn’t help to watch a movie that depicts the patients as “loony bins.” I can attest from my experiences, it doesn’t look like that today, nor are we “loony bins.”

Finding a Different Kind of Happy as Parents of a Child With Autism
In my experience, happiness has an interesting ability to shift shapes. Just like a liquid, it will seep in, squeeze into, or fill up your life, no matter what your circumstances. Everyone finds their reason to be happy. So when we got our son’s diagnosis and realized that all the reasons we had borrowed from the world around us to define what happiness should mean to us needed to be dumped or redefined, we were devastated. In retrospect, I believe the shock of the diagnosis and what we believed it meant led us to sift through our future life events and foresee nothing that would bring us joy. But I believe happiness finds its way. Always.

The Path to Accepting My Inner Demon and Loving Myself
My inner demon likes to tell me that I will not succeed in anything I try. It assigns rejection and dislike to people without them really saying or doing anything. My inner voice takes the negative side without a thought. It seems automatic, unavoidable and heartbreaking. The majority of my mistaken sadness lies only in my mind. It does not appear before the feet of friends, family, even strangers. It’s taken almost a half-century to realize how to control those conversations. Do you have them too?

Fighting the 'Anxiety Monster' to Announce My Autism

Then on the other hand, I feel myself crawling towards that safe, dark closet of mine that has held the secret for 30 years. There are instances where I feel bold, I feel empowered, then I cower and fall back into the arms of the half-truth that has held me.

How to Plan a Mental Health Recovery Day for National Stress Awareness Month
This National Stress Awareness Month, I think about how I feel stress in my body, a heaviness dragging down my hips and pressure inside my forehead. Often, it comes out as an uptick in my anxiety.  A few weeks ago, I sat at my desk, lungs squeezed inside my chest. When the stress became overwhelming, my husband came up with the idea to organize a Mental Health Recovery Day. I wanted to combine different activities that have helped me in therapy groups, along with ways to relax. For Mental Health Recovery Day, I tried to create my own structured day of self-care. I hoped that dedicating time would help me deal better with my anxiety and stress. I had reached the point of feeling so drained that I thought I needed to try something new.

How Too Much Awareness Can Harm Marginalized People's Mental Health
Over the past few weeks, the media has been covering the rise of Anti-Asian racism with more fervor than before, after violent escalations in Anti-Asian hate crimes around the United States. What also came to light, was that Canada has higher Anti-Asian hate crimes per capita than the US, despite Canada always touting itself as an accepting, pluralistic country, free of the intensity of racism faced by our neighbours to the south.

6 Signs Of A Controlling Person To Be Aware Of
manipulative tendencies in your own life.Do you know someone who always tries to micromanage the words, behaviors, and attitudes of people around them? Does this person act like they have the right to know anything they want about you, including your location, what you’re doing in a given moment, who you’re talking to online, or any other private information about you? And when planning events and special occasions, does this person dominate conversations, steer plans in their own preferred directions, disparage others’ suggestions, and refuse to collaborate with anyone who might disagree with them?If you answered “yes” to some of the above questions, then those are clear signs of a controlling person whom you absolutely need to be cautious

My Autism Hasn’t Changed -- My Life Has
I have always been a “quirky” person. I pride myself on it. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where diversity is as hip as avocado toast (for which I must also admit my love). I was incredibly privileged to have parents who did not see my differences as a flaw but rather as a potential strength. I strongly believe this was informed by my dad’s own neurodivergence, something that has helped him succeed in life.

Why Many Autistic People Don't Celebrate Autism Awareness Month
April is Autism Awareness Month, but most self-advocates don’t celebrate it. If one is new to the autistic community, one might be surprised by the pushback against these “awareness” efforts. The month-long campaign has a 51-year history. It was launched in April of 1970 by the Autism Society, which was founded by parents of autistic children. Each year, the controversial organization Autism Speaks promotes the month as one of its awareness campaigns, along with April 2, which is World Autism Day. The majority of the people who celebrate Autism Awareness Month happen to be parents and family members.
