Today, on World #Autism Awareness Day, we celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives of autistic individuals. This year's theme focuses on #autistic voices - ensuring their experiences are heard and understood on a global scale. We've come a long way, but there's still work to do.

During autism acceptance month, challenge (then update) your knowledge and perception of what autism is and how it might present in students, friends, and associates. 💕 #autismacceptance #growthmindset #neurotypical #challengeyourbeliefs

Today, Autistic Pride Day, is about building knowledge, understanding and acceptance for autistic people. We can all contribute to better outcomes for autistic people. Some ideas you could implement include: • Engaging someone with lived experience to come and talk at your workplace or school or university. • Adjusting the work/study environment to accommodate sensory needs- using non fluorescent lighting, encouraging use of headphones, etc • Increasing flexibility in the workplace or study environment. • Providing meeting agendas, interview questions, or other information ahead of time to allow autistic people to process them and formulate responses. I am committing to having more conversations about autism with family, friends, and schools. What are you going to do differently to support autistic people? Reframing Autism have some great resources to get you started.

I promised a blog post about Autism and co-parenting was on the way, and here it is (thank you for your patience). In this piece, I explore the impact of unidentified Autism on separated families. The problem is not neurodivergence - it’s when we don’t know that it’s there and the alternative, harmful narratives that might have crept in instead. Have a read, let me know what you think.  https://lnkd.in/g9EzPJvD #HonourAutism #AutismAcceptanceMonth #Neurodiversity #CoparentingCoach #CoparentingHelp #CoparentingCompanion
