April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day ❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜

Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) include problems with:
• Speech
- speech delays
- communication problems
• Social interactions
- poor eye contact
- preference for own company
- difficulties initiating and sustaining social interactions
• Stereotypic/rigid character/behaviours
- ‘stimming’ (i.e., repetitive movements for sensory stimulation) (e.g., rocking, flapping, spinning)
- Inflexibility towards changes in routine / experiences
- Hyper- / hypo- sensitivity to sensations (e.g., sounds, textures, textiles)

Autism is a spectrum disorder where symptoms can range from mild to severe. Autism awareness is improving but still often misunderstood. Milder cases can often be dismissed while more severe cases face problems with inclusion.

Let’s practice openness to neurodivergence as a spectrum of possibilities. ❤️



4月2日是世界自闭症日❤️🧡💛💚💙💙💜

自闭症Autism Spectrum Disorder （ASD） 的症状包括以下方面的问题：
• 语言
- 语言迟缓
- 沟通障碍
• 社交
- 缺乏眼神交流
- 经常独处
- 少主动/维持社交互动
• 刻板/重复性的性格/行为
- “自我刺激行为”- 即重复性动作以刺激感官（例：摇晃身体、拍打、原地旋转）
- 难以适应新事物/经历、日常作息的变化
- 感统问题（例，对声音、口感、质感过度敏感/不够敏感）

自闭症是一种谱系障碍，其症状的严重程度不一。人们对自闭症的认识正在进步当中，但它仍然常常被误解。轻度自闭症患者经常被忽视，而重度自闭症患者则难以被包容。

希望大家一起放开心态，尝试去理解及接受。❤️
