When communication is misunderstood Sometimes, when we communicate in any sort of way with our body or facial expressions they tend to get misunderstood and we have to correct that person to let them know that what we’re doing isn’t intentionally rude. It’s just something we sometimes do.   We went to the Autism Society of Southern Arizona. We spoke to a woman named Brie. She told us about the Autism Walk that is coming up on April 6th. She spoke about how parents can advocate for their kids with autism.   We went to The Double Tree Job Fair and it wasn't what we expected ; however, we practiced talking in a professional environment in order to come out of our comfort zone.   Self Advocacy is the right to speak up for yourself and the rights that you have. Children, Teenagers, and Young adults who struggle with disabilities whether it would be a physical or mental disability are hard to cope with on a daily basis and those who struggle with said disabilities are given therapy and special ed classes to help them cope with them. But just because they may be different from other people it does not mean that they cannot live like normal individuals. Because they too deserve equal rights to everyone else.  |
