Lita speaks lightly about how it always is questionada if she is “really autistic”, and explains in a very didactic way that the people included in ASD are normal, with different brain functioning, and different support needs.

The influencer is also evangelical and shares some testimonies of faith on her networks, in addition to giving shows as a singer, playing the keyboard or ukulele.

Autistic teacher (447 thousand followers)

This is the profile of Giovanna Vlašić, music and Japanese language teacher, autistic support level 2 and dyslexic.

She also says she has dyscalculia (learning disorder) and SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder).

In videos, the influencer explains how the autistic brain works and how neurotypicals (who have brain functioning within the standards of the majority) can act to welcome and combat prejudice.

Family on Board (447 thousand followers)

The profile brings together a Brazilian couple who live outside the country. Violet – diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder – and Marcel – diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder) have two children, Summer and Stefan. The first, a cute little girl, was also diagnosed with autism.

The family's Instagram profile says: “We help mothers and fathers experience autism in a lighter way.”

In videos, Violet talks about the characteristics of autism in adults – as she herself was diagnosed as an adult – and also how to deal with autism in children, based on her experience with her daughter Summer.

If you identified with the videos, remember that autism is a neurological condition, therefore it must be diagnosed by a specialist!

Neurodiversity: what is it? And why do we need to talk about the subject?

You may have heard of neurodivergent, neuroatypical or atypical. These nomenclatures are usually associated with people on the autism spectrum. But they also cover other neurocognition disorders and conditions, that is: people who have brain functioning that is different from the majority. From this idea, the concept of neurodiversity emerged, which talks about the differences that exist in the human brain. Abroad, the subject is recurrent and has become the subject of successful series, but here in Brazil the subject is still in its infancy. Come the Curto News explains it to you.
