The footage of Gus’s response resonated with many, showcasing a heartfelt family moment. Fox News highlighted Gus on their TikTok page, and positive comments reflected appreciation for the father-son bond.

The Importance of Emotional Expression
Gus Walz’s tears remind us that crying is a natural human response and not a sign of weakness. Societal norms often impose restrictive ideas on boys, but allowing them to express their emotions promotes better mental health and resilience.
Breaking the Stigma
The negative responses to Gus’s display highlight the need to break societal barriers that prevent emotional expression. Creating supportive environments for boys to express their feelings is crucial for emotional well-being.
Conclusion
Gus Walz’s emotional moment at the DNC is a powerful reminder that crying is a natural way to communicate deep feelings. Embracing and supporting emotional experiences is key to fostering a compassionate and inclusive world.
Understanding that “Yes, boys do and can cry” is not just about acknowledging their feelings but also about creating a supportive space for everyone to express themselves freely. It’s time to celebrate and validate the emotional lives of all individuals, breaking down barriers and fostering a culture of empathy and support.

It’s World Autism Awareness Day on April 2. Did you know that according to CDC data, boys are 4.3 times more likely than girls to have autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? According to the Child Mind Institute, this is because girls “frequently go undetected because they don’t fit autistic stereotypes and they disguise symptoms better than boys do.” There is no better way to honor this day than by learning about the traits of those who have this illness and what we can all do to promote kindness and deepen our own understanding.
What Date In 2023 Is World Autism Awareness Day?
On April 2, there is a global awareness day for autism. The purpose of the day is to honor and raise awareness of the rights of individuals with autism. Usually beginning in youth, the illness lasts until maturity.
A developmental illness called autism spectrum disorder is characterized by behavioural and communicational traits that make it difficult for a person to interact socially and also lead to repetitive and constrained conduct.
The term “autism” made its first historical occurrence in 1911 when psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler used it to characterize a particular group of symptoms that were formerly thought to be straightforward signs of schizophrenia, such as severe social detachment.
In that order, pediatrician Dr. Leo Kanner published his article “Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact” in 1943, describing autism as a social and emotional disorder, and Hans Asperger published his “Autism Psychopathology Article” in 1944, describing autism as a disorder of children with normal intelligence who struggle with social and communication skills. These articles made a significant contribution to the research that helped to distinguish autism from schizophrenia as a separate condition in 1980.
World Autism Awareness Day was established by the “United Nations General Assembly” on “Resolution 62/139” and adopted on December 18, 2007, in response to the ongoing investigation and research into autism. The goal of the resolution was to encourage member states to take action in raising awareness about people with autism spectrum disorder and support the research finding new ways to improve wellness and inclusion.
Last but not least, the “American Psychiatric Association” created the concept of autism as a spectrum in 2013 by combining all subcategories of autism and related conditions into one cohesive category, including varied characteristics, severity, and presentation of the symptoms. This was done in the fifth edition of the “Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.”
Culture Of The Day
World Autism Awareness Day honors the tenacity of those living with the condition and encourages initiatives to raise public awareness of it. Children are taught about autism in classrooms and urged to accept it. Because bullies target autistic children, it is crucial for their peers to be understanding and accepting of them. Because the symptoms of autism are not always obvious, adults—especially parents—are also educated on the subject. Local stores and malls are also significant supporters of autism awareness, donating a portion of their profits to organizations and cause related to the condition.
