Keeley’s Story

I don’t want another child with special needs being pushed through the system because we’re too much work…

My name is Keeley and I’m 13 years of age. I’m on the Autism Spectrum Disorder and also have recently been diagnosed with an intellectual disability. That’s where my story starts.

Let kids be kids!⁠
⁠
Children were not created to act like adults. They were created to be silly, to giggle, to make mistakes, and to enjoy their childhood. Let's embrace their unique personalities and quirks and celebrate the joy and innocence that comes with being a kid.⁠
⁠
As we support and guide them on their journey, let's remember to give them the space to explore, make mistakes, and to learn from them. ⁠
⁠
Let's encourage them to be creative, to be curious, and to let their imaginations run wild.⁠
⁠
and better yet...join them - have fun - be silly too! ⁠

It's ok to be different! In fact - we say...EMBRACE IT!⁠
⁠
Celebrating diversity and embracing differences, that's what makes us unique! That is what makes you...YOU!⁠
⁠
The autism spectrum affects each individual differently, and that's completely okay. ⁠
⁠
It's important to remember that there is no one way to be autistic and no two experiences are the same.⁠
⁠
Let's embrace and celebrate the individuality of each person!⁠

Creating a more inclusive world starts with understanding and acceptance. ⁠
⁠
Today and always we raise awareness for Autism and the importance of including individuals with diverse abilities in our communities. ⁠
⁠
Let's celebrate their unique strengths and differences and work towards breaking down barriers to inclusiveness. ⁠
