#Neurodiversity wasn’t created as a cute euphemism. When we say “autism isn’t a disease, it’s a difference,” we’re serious.
We’re finding a way to live well in this world as #autistic people. To be happy & unashamed of who we are.

Like reframing autism isn't for the purpose of letting autistic people look good or create some new positive narrative.
It's to reduce meltdowns, self harm and violence done to autistic people because people insist on doing harm to "treat" autism

Thank you for sharing this!
We have meltdowns, they won’t stop happening. So let’s learn to cope with them as another obstacle, not a hideous personal failing.
That’s #neurodiversity.
