TOP 5 Consejos para el Mes de Concienciación sobre el Autismo: Sé curioso acerca de la experiencia de alguien en lugar de dejar que tus prejuicios nublen tus respuestas. Permite que alguien sea autista, sin juzgar, ya sea que estén diagnosticados o no. ¡Por favor, no digas: "No pareces autista"! No hay un código de vestimenta. No todos estamos en el espectro. Las personas se confunden sobre esto porque el autismo es una condición que existe en un espectro, lo que significa que las personas autistas pueden verse afectadas por la condición de diversas maneras. Las personas neurotípicas no están en ese espectro, aunque en ciertos momentos pueden experimentar algunos de los rasgos descritos en pruebas de detección. Cuando parecemos rudos o tenemos una crisis, generalmente es porque en esos momentos no tenemos la energía para ocultar lo que sentimos por dentro. Eso no es una excusa para comportamientos que lastiman o molestan a otros, pero es una explicación de lo que ha llevado a esos comportamientos. Comprender esos desencadenantes es beneficioso para todos. Por favor, no asumas que no podemos ser autistas porque tenemos amigos o mostramos empatía o somos articulados o tenemos sentido del humor. Ninguna de estas cosas por sí sola es evidencia en contra de un diagnóstico de autismo, y al igual que las personas neurotípicas, no todos somos iguales.

So great to see Getafe CF from Spain's La Liga making a powerful gesture supporting autism awareness and neurodiversity acceptance by wearing noise canceling headphones during their match! By wearing headphones, Getafe players highlighted the sensory overload many autistic individuals experience and shed light on the challenges faced by the autistic community. Kudos to Getafe CF for using their platform to raise awareness for such an important cause. Let's continue breaking down barriers and celebrating neurodiversity in sports and beyond. Such initiatives should become more common in sports, fostering inclusivity and understanding across all communities. https://lnkd.in/gEag7hs3

World Autism Awareness Day is a moment to recognize and celebrate the important contributions of autistic people in every country and community. But around the world, they continue to confront barriers to their fundamental rights to education, employment and social inclusion — as called for by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As a matter of fundamental rights, governments must invest in stronger community support systems, inclusive education and training programmes, and accessible and technology-based solutions to enable persons with autism to enjoy the same rights as others. Scaling-up support and investment in countries and communities requires working hand-in-hand with persons with autism and their allies. Today and every day, let’s unite to realize their rights, and ensure an inclusive and accessible world for all.

Excelente artículo para comprender las necesidades de Latinoamérica en relación al diagnóstico y atención del autismo. Necesitamos más investigación en LATAM sobre los retos de las familias de los niños con discapacidades del desarrollo para poder brindarles los apoyos que son su derecho

At what age are children typically diagnosed with autism in Ecuador? How do families perceive their child's condition? What are the first signs that parents notice, and where do they mostly turn for support? Which professionals are responsible for diagnosing autism? What kind of support do families commonly receive after a diagnosis, and what are their main priorities? The answers to these questions, among others, are part of our latest publication in the journal Autism, the result of a fruitful collaboration between researchers from Ecuador, the UK (UCL / University of Birmingham), and Switzerland (Université de Genève, FAPSE) Laura Crane, Edouard Gentaz, Thalia Cavadini, Cristina Armijos, Patricia Soto, Maria de Lourdes Ortega M This work underscores the importance of cross-border academic partnerships and their direct influence on shaping public policy. The findings play a crucial role in contributing to the development of a National Strategy for Autism in Ecuador. We are deeply grateful to the participating families, as well as to the Ecuadorian Parent Association (APADA) and the Ecuadorian National Council for Disabilities (CONADIS), for their invaluable support. https://lnkd.in/epk9qqxj

Cuando nos encontramos con un caso de #autismo, es habitual pensar en unas características muy concretas y específicas que lo definen y que realmente no son siempre así. Como observamos en este gráfico, es importante recordar que no existen 2 casos iguales y que el espectro es muy amplio; por lo que una misma etiqueta no engloba todos los casos y debemos de realizar un tratamiento individualizado y adaptado a las necesidades concretas del paciente.

When we think of #autism, it’s crucial to remember that it doesn't follow a straight line. #Autism is a spectrum, which means each individual's experience and challenges can vary greatly. It's not a matter of being "more" or "less" autistic—it's about different ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting with the world. Some may have incredible strengths in certain areas while facing difficulties in others. For instance, someone might excel in mathematics but struggle with social interactions, or they may be nonverbal yet have an extraordinary ability to connect with others emotionally. Let’s move away from the idea that autism can be mapped out on a single path or scale. Instead, we should embrace the diversity within the spectrum and recognize that each individual’s journey is unique. In celebrating this diversity, we not only become better supporters and allies but also help create an environment where every person on the autism spectrum can thrive in their own way. #AutismAwareness #Neurodiversity #Support #Inclusion
