Rosie King made this video for Newsround 11 years ago, but I still think it's one of the best videos to watch to support understanding and acceptance of the different presentations of autism. youtu.be/ejpWWP1HNGQ #AutismAwareness #Autism #autismunderstanding

If you are concerned that someone you know may be suicidal, please ask them directly whether they have been thinking about suicide. It could save a life #TimeToTalk

When you feel like giving up, just remember the reason why you held on for so long. Life is worth living, for the special moments that can be cherished together. You’re loved and people want you in their life.
