“Learning About Autism”

The first time I learned about Autism was when I first watched tik toks about it. It first came up on my for you page of educatinal facts about what autism is. As I learned more about it I thought of how odd it was that I didn’t know more about this before. Soon after “Love on the Spectrum” came out and watching the show I thought it was interesting of how the show was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a show before it was nice to see a positive change (yet now hearing others opinions of the show I think I want to education myself more about representation in media). I feel like representations and sharing voices of those in the community is extremely important and learning about this in our class discussion fully proves that.

One thought on ““Learning About Autism”

  1. I learned about autism from the internet, just like I learned about sex, mental health and sexual identity. Isn’t it weird how often that’s the case? Where education about these subjects is not taught in school well enough (if it’s even taught at all), that we have to come upon the answers ourselves? I think that just goes to show the importance of awareness and also representation, because you learned about autism from tiktoks and even more from that “love on the spectrum” show.
