#OurGoldenMoment. Why #OurGoldenMoment? Maybe you have seen it before, several people use the abbreviation Âû in their names on social media. This is the chemical abbreviation for gold. Many people use this color, gold, and the infinity sign as a way to identify themselves as neurodivers. In a next blog I will go a little further into this last movement the #OurGoldenMoment. Who knows what we could do with it as against sound.
All in all, I think the intention of the people in the Netherlands who are organizing actions in the autism week is very good. I think the people who don’t know any better even think it’s a very nice thing to put a building in a nice blue light to draw attention to autism. But they don’t know where it comes from. And if they’re not told, it’s not so weird that they don’t know.
So for me it’s not something I blame directly on people. They don’t know any better… But right now… Now they do, don’t they?
So let’s not turn the world blue on April 2nd or the week after that…
Let’s look at alternatives like #RedInstead and #OurGoldenMoment
