About Dazlious
Nine years after our son was diagnosed I felt ready to create Dazlious and share with the world my learnt knowledge and perspective of autism. Through our own experiences supporting Jeorge, particularly focusing on his sensory interactions, communications and processing, with himself internally and externally as well as with his environment.
During this emergence into autism and autistic people I have recnetly discovered that I am Neurodivergent, I have Sensory Processing Difficulties as well as PDD - it makes total sense to me. Looking back on my childhood and how I was and how the world felt and looked to me was different.
Autistic adults who are actively advocating for the younger autistic generations is seen in society more and more and I too am a part of that. throughout my professional career I have always seen things from the child's perspective - my sensitivities have enabled me to do this easily and this continues.
The time is now to celebrate the differences in people, neurodiversity still is and has always been a part of humanity. With an openess to acceptance any discriminations others may have previously endured during their lives can be prevented.
Dazlious's slogan of 'learning the language of autism' is what we aim to promote. As with all languages, autism is rich and diverse, which means there are many dialects and accents of being autistic. When we listen with all of our senses by observing we can begin to recognise the dialects, communicated by autistic children and adults. This enables neurotypical people to learn positively about their autistic family members and clients from the autistics perspective in a deep and meaningful way.
Dazlious hopes to be a place where all neurotype communities can express themselves openly, a coming together of being who we are unique and free.
There is much to be done to help support parents and carers of autistic children as well as professional's so that they can be positive advocates for their children and clients. Autistic children can and do become confident adults, with the right support and opportunities to fully support their needs. Communication and sensory support and acceptance means the right environments can be created, whether an autistic person needs full-time care for the rest of their lives or lives independently or anything in between that.
My hope is to continue to grow and learn in ways that are useful and positvely helpful to an autistic person's life as well as their families. Creating a space for communities to all find inclusion with like-minded families and groups, stepping away from the isolation many experience for many reasons...
Each step taken with the autistic person at the forefront of the learning is a step forward to learning the language of autism and that can enhance their lives just as they are.
