A busker plays music for a blind autistic girl sitting in a wheelchair. She’s being allowed to stim (flapping and rubbing her shirt) and respond to the music her own natural way. The busker places her hand on the guitar to let her see what is creating the music, and she smiles as he sings to her.

They made a connection.

That is autism acceptance.

Take note. Many autistic people will open up to you like a flower if you gently connect with them in ways that work for them instead of forcing them to connect with you in ways that only work for you.

I hope that sweet kid grows up to be a musician or artist! :)

It’s Autism Acceptance Month and that post I just reblogged really annoyed me! So for the rest of April I’ll be reblogging/making at least one post in solidarity  as a small way to support our autistic followers!
