Have you got any ideas about it please?

In the widest range...

In my opinion, we can celebrate our obsession, our complex thinking, etc. All unique things that only you possess....

The point is not about if our specialities are benificial or not. We can be special for special's sake!

We can celebrate diversities and similarities.

Your opinions are more than welcome!! ! :heart:

Today is Saturday, the day that I cook breakfast, mow the lawn, fix the sprinkler, wash the car, and run an RPG for my son and his friends.

Definitely an ability to cherish, eh?!

Yes. Therefore, let us do so. Have a poetic, beautiful, and exciting day instead of simple days that we have every day.

It only depends on your mood.

We can imagine that our lives are poetic, beautiful, and exciting.

By the way, "Deos fortioribus adesse" (your sig line) translates into: "The gods are on the side of the stronger."

In other words, "Might makes Right".

Discerning and acting upon the imagination.

So when I design a new killer robot, I'm being poetic?

Today is my first day of a week long vacation. I had no specific plans, and this sounds like a good thing to work on.

Thank you for sharing this idea.

Oh... I see now. When I first read the topic heading, I thought that what you meant by "Autistic Pride Day" was that there was an already-established day for internationally celebrating the good that comes from having an ASD.

There's no need to single out a date on the calender to "celebrate" autism pride as long as someone keeps a positive mindset. Easier said than done, though.

Not in any way I would find impressive, but yes, I suppose so.
