There are growing numbers of individuals with autism, particularly children.
1 in 110 children are in that disability spectrum.
They may not make eye contact, flap their arms, or thrown tantrums frequently.
Most of us don’t fathom why they persist their stims, social deficits, or meltdowns.
When we see those behaviors present, we should not wish their parents to spank them.

We should also support job opportunities for autistic individuals.
We can all volunteer as job coaches to help them develop social skills in the workforce.
If we are college-bound students in high school, we can educate ourselves in being job coaches.
If we are employers, bosses, or CEO’s, we can train our employees and ourselves in working with affected entrants and employees.

Furthermore, we should give autistic children opportunities for a quality education.
We can hire ourselves as mentors and teachers, in and out of special education programs.
We can make available extracurricular programs that nourish their minds and serve the teaching of social skills.
We can be tolerant, even if they act out or stim, and we can intervene with a method we feel is tolerant and effective.

Autistic individuals who melt down may make us want the parents or caregivers to spank them with belts.
We think that parents of autistic children need intensive parenting classes.
We may dub them the dreaded “r-word,” peanut-brains, or any names that defame, put down, or disown them.
But we can be tolerant and respect them like any other neuro-typical person!
The world is a better place when everyone understands and respects one another, including autistic individuals.
