Exciting news! I am starting a small private practice focused on early autism diagnosis (ages 1-3). I'm currently in the process of building my website, and I have two questions for the autism hive mind: (1) for parents who had children diagnosed around this age: what information about myself or my services should I include that I might not be thinking of? What would you have wanted to know before reaching out to a clinician? (1) for autistic advocates: what advice do you have for me to make my website (and practices) neurodiversity-affirming? I have some articles I plan to link to, but would love other suggestions as well. Would of course welcome any other website advice from anyone out there. This is very new to me! Thanks! #autism #diagnosis #website #psychology
