Episode 11 - Saying Nice Things (What Should I Say Part 1)
Happy April! I'm so pleased to finally be able to join in on the celebration of Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month after some poorly timed technical difficulties.
Let's dive right in to this month's theme, and this week's topic.
What do I mean when I say, "I Should Say That Out Loud"? what exactly should I say out loud? This is the topic of this month's theme. And to start off, I believe we should say nice things, for many reasons. Yes, I believe that we should all say nice things out loud. This is a beneficial practice not only for others, but for ourselves as well.
But what I learned through the process of creating this episode is that the mere fact of other people saying nice things to me over the years played a huge factor in my growth process of developing my ability to speak clearly and confidently, so that I could be understood by others and so that I could connect with other people. This was a huge realization for me, and an emotional one too. Watch this episode through to the end to see just how deeply this realization hit me!
What may seem like basic simple advice is not so commonly or instinctively known to people with autism. It definitely was not for me. Join me on this journey of sharing simple yet profound advice, and through the process of sharing my progression in communication, realizing just how profound it has been to receive positive feedback from people over the years.
It's a simple and easy gesture that we can all put into our daily practice to impact and benefit the autism community and the world at large. Let's grow the awareness and acceptance of autism together!
I'm so excited to tell you about my new sponsor!
