Day 4: #knowthesigns

Sometimes your are in a public setting and someone brushes past you in an “aggressive” manner and never stops to acknowledge what has just happened. You call out “hey you!” and there is no response, but you notice that this person continues along their way as if no one else exist around them. That person maybe on the spectrum . Do not get angry (I know it is hard ), but stop for a moment and access what you are seeing. Is this person lost? Are they aware of their surroundings (traffic lights , cars curbs etc)? If your gut says “no”, again keep your eyes on the person, see where they are going and call the authorities. You maybe saving a life . Not everyone who bumps you is on the spectrum (they could be simply obnoxious), but taking that moment NOT to react negatively and figuring out what just transpired can make a world of difference. #thumbsupforautism. #knowthesigns #youcansavealife ??#pix11
