Why am I doing this

My younger brother has autism, my whole life I have felt like I need to shout from the roof tops to be heard. I’ve never seen our relationship as anything different to any other siblings until someone at my uni asked me “are you not sad you can’t do normal things together?”. There is nothing that we can’t do together, we have gone on holiday together more times than I can count, we’ve played video games together and watched films that we both enjoy. However these activities may look slightly different to how you do your activities with your siblings but it doesn’t mean we don’t have a “normal” relationship. 

What even is a “normal” relationship, or what does a “normal” person look like? There is nothing “normal” in this world, everyone is different and has their own way of doing things. Autism is a hidden disability which manifests differently for different people, not every person with autism is the stereotypical 7 year old boy who is amazing at maths and dictated on trains. There are many young people who have masked their entire life’s to try and fit in with their peers while feeling so inherently different, there are some who’s access and support needs are a lot greater than others, that is why it is a spectrum. 

My brother is the most gentle, funny, kind young man I have ever met. He adores Lego, geography and vehicles. He also loves caring for people and his heart breaks when he notices someone he loves is feeling a bit down. It has been a struggle watching my parents battle his whole life to get him the support he deserves. In this country education is a right all young people should be able to access, however in some cases this is something that is taken for granted. There are so many families up and down the country going through stress fighting for their child’s rights. It should be a given. 

I am walking to raise awareness for autism. 
I am walking for my beautiful brother. 
I am walking for all those parents that have to fight every day. 
I am walking for all those siblings who sometimes struggle with their own identities. 
I am walking for all those individuals with autism that need their voices heard. 

I'm walking for my brother Pablo❤️

If you know me well, you’ll know I am a huge advocate for Autism and once you get me talking about it I will not stop! There are so many day to day challenges each individual is faced with when they have a hidden disability and as autism manifests so differently in each person it’s hard to know how to engage with each individual. I hope the more we speak about autism and the more we spread awareness the world can become more accessible, it is painful trying to get by in a world that it made  for atypical people and to have to fit yourself into a box to work your way through life. It’s time to flip the narrative on its head and keep spreading the word to open the door to a more inclusive world where every individual has access to the support they need to be free. 

Walk for Autism is a fundraising challenge run by Autism Initiatives Group. Autism Initiatives Group is working towards a world where every autistic person has the support they need to thrive, every opportunity to fulfil their potential and a supportive, inclusive community to live in.

I'll be walking a total of 10,000 steps, the equivalent of 8k a day 26th March to 2nd April to raise money for this charity. 

Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated 😊
