Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한 謝雪矢In any case, it's just a different way of explaining. Like I said, here in the #Philippines, #Autism is considered a disability, and practically no one has issues with it being so.
I am #Autistic, I consider myself disabled as well.
#AutisticActually #OpenlyAutistic
This 4th dimension of time affects each #Autistic person differently. For some, they reached a point where they had enough of the discrimination, stereotypes, and stigma, they started to make a stand and chose to be an #OpenlyAutistic.

La_mennularaPer la prima volta dopo anni mi sento “libera”: libera da schemi che non capisco, libera da giudizi di chi non capisce, libera da ogni aspettative, libera di essere quella che sono. #libertà #crescitapersonale #AuADHD #mentalhealth #autism #autisticMasking #OpenlyAutistic
The Center for Open Science called me and set up an interview, after I explicitly stated in my cover letter and application that I'm #autistic. This is the first time I'll be interviewed as an openly autistic person, as opposed to disclosing after being hired. I just wanted to give them a shout out. Kudos, whether I get the job or not. It makes me happy to see people who don't just talk the talk.

I'm so drained, I only was able to do a few hours on a project. I was supposed to run earlier today but it rained. I guess back to #reading , my other recovery method.

How do you define the term, “Openly Autistic”?
* Is it an autistic person who rarely masks?
* Or, an autistic who isn't afraid and/or shy to share that they are actually autistic?
* Or, an autistic person who is active in the autism acceptance “movement” (if we can call it that)?
* Or, perhaps, an autistic who were interviewed and disclosed they're autistic?
Maybe you have other considerations or criteria that defines “openly autistic” for you?

NOTE: Being openly autistic is a choice and is _not_ for everyone. I think it is safe to say that we all face discrimination, stereotyping, and prejudice for being actually autistics, thus, most choose not to be open about it.
However, recently, there has been a slow growth in numbers of openly autistics, and like with most things in life, we have different criteria, definitions, and cultural considerations.
Thus, I am curious what _you_ think, personally or maybe your immediate environment or organisation, is an openly autistic person. Or, when do you consider one as openly autistic.
Again, this is not about if an autistic person should be openly autistic or not. ^_^
Thank you for your interesting insights!
