April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day, celebrating people on the spectrum

Today is officially #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, designated by the United Nations as day of recognition and appreciation. This kicks off #AutismAwarenessMonth, which many of us call #AutismBewarenessMonth because it's always much more about "here's how bad autism is" than "here's how to make autistic people's lives better". When we want to be more positive than snarky, we call it #AutismAcceptanceMonth, because it's better to be accepted than for people to be aware of us mainly as a set of problems.

The problem with the above is that all that awareness and acceptance is something that allistic people are supposed to do, so the occasion centers allistic people instead of autistic people. The whole month is about how allistic people think and feel about us – it's not actually about us at all!

But over on Bluesky, Aslynn (`@audhd-psychnp.com`) hit on some better branding: Autistic People's Month! I really like this, as it centers us in our own celebration. #AutisticPeoplesMonth is not about how anyone else feels about us, but about our own existence, accomplishments, problems, and all the rest. I hope this catches on, so doing my part to make it happen. April is now ours!

For #AutismAwarenessMonth I decided to put 100 free download codes for my #happyhardcore track "Hardcore Spectrum Disorder" from 2017. https://band.codes/dreamofomni/hardcore-spectrum-disorder

The shorter, radio remix from the album of the same name will probably get added to my free tracks compilation on April 15th, along with Shill my Rug (Eurobeat Remix)

HAPPY WORLD AUTISM AWARENESS DAY!

SEE ME IN ALL MY GLORY, AND BEWAAAAAAAARE
