'It just gives me hope': People on autism spectrum help run café
When Kathryn Beaumont stood inside The Owl Café on its opening day Monday, she discreetly used her sleeve to wipe away the tears that quickly ran down her cheeks.
She looked at the long line of customers that patiently waited to order, then her gaze fell on the people behind the counter.
People on the autism spectrum, just like her two children, make up most of the staff at the café at 1140 Morrison Dr. in Ottawa.
“[My kids] are that age where I’m thinking about their future and where they are going to go,” Beaumont said after she bought her latte and sat at a wooden table.
“It’s beautiful, I’ve seen the people serving and I thought it was amazing. It just gives me hope.”
Every single survivor is different to each other. Everyone responds to trauma in their own way.
Some will just flinch when you touch them, and some will scream at you to get your hands off them.
Some respond to attacks by going quiet and not fighting back, and some will become quickly defensive and argue back straight away at the slightest hint of an attack (real or not).
Some will never speak of their trauma and hide it forever, some will bring it up casually in conversation.
Some will cry when they talk about it, some will be emotionless and flat.
And we need to support them all. Trauma isn’t pretty. It doesn’t always make us “soft”, sometimes it makes us rough, hard, and angry. But we’re still traumatised. We still need support.
