AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH QUOTE 15

Wednesday, April 24, 2024

“I do genuinely wish and think all therapists should be Neurodiversity Affirming. I also recognize this has to begin at school. We need undergraduate and graduate level courses taught in ways that allow for learning about the Neurodiversity paradigm and movement. We need professors explaining the medical model of disability as well as other models such as the social model, human rights model, the holistic model by AutisticTic, the social relational model by Carol Thomas, etc. … We need therapists to be less Autistiphobic and actually learn how to best recognize and assess Autism – not even for diagnosis – just to best support Autistic people.” – AuDHD_Therapist, "Reasons your Therapist may not be Neurodiversity Affirming"
