May 18 - Women with Autism Day
On Autistic Pride Day (June 18, 2022), we discussed the difficulties of pride in something so stigmatised and stereotyped - when the stereotypes aren't even about us. We also mused on what a 'day of' actually is - at minimum, any title someone announces that someone else notices. So why shouldn't we make our own? We employed the rigorous process of plonking it between Autism Awareness Day and Autistic Pride Day, giving us eleven months to do something with if we find it worthwhile on further consideration.
Thus, we heretofore decree May 18 International Women with Autism Day.
