"Pioneering as a collective - immovable to the masses" - this is the Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious ethos.

Stigmatisation and Autism continue to share an alarming parallel despite progressive views on neurodiversity. Resisting the confines of insults, shame and social exclusion is not derived from a simple rebellion - it is the vital willpower to redefine our 'experiences' and 'worth' as individuals on the Spectrum. 

We refuse to be created in the image of society's misconceptions, systematic failings and discriminative agendas. 

The Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious ethos is a mantra / manifesto born of my personal struggles and Autism advocacy as a young woman with Asperger's Syndrome. 

In no way is this ethos intended to represent an idealism of Autism. Rather, it presents the diverse array of talents and skills that each and every individual on the Spectrum possesses; the ambitions behind 'making a difference'. 

Backstory and background aside, the real story of the Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious ethos is how you perceive and demonstrate it through your own activism. 

The Supercali-flapilistic-autistic-alidocious ethos may seem vague at present - that is okay, valid and expected. As we interrogate the intricacies and strive towards greater perspectives and outcomes rid of a domineering ignorance, we reveal the epiphanic light of optimism shining on our Autism community.
