The Autism community is one of the communities that I have been exploring in most of 2023. At first, I thought autism condition is only social challenges but learned and seen from communities that within in Autism Spectrum can have millions of scenarios of challenges within levels. Within these communities, I found myself inspired on some stories of triumphs of parents and cried on some stories of struggles of parents trying to keep neuro diverse kids or adult safe, advocate healthy and continually functioning within the society. Neuro Diverse person reveal unique strengths or even special powers but also can have mandane functioning challenge. (Pls excuse me if I used the wrong terminology within Autism as I am still learning).

I have dedicated my runs/walk for Autism Awareness and in my little way to hopefully make a little difference in Autism Society ❤️

Learning that it is okay to be different and awkward in our own ways because the universe deserve a diverse expression from each one us.

Please help me support by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Organization for Autism Research's great cause!
