I got this blog in just under the wire. April is Autism Acceptance Month, and I wanted to write something meaningful that is derived from my own clinical work with autistic people. We are moving away from the misinformation and misdiagnosis into what I hope is an era of acceptance, and Neurodiversity affirming practices. #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity #NeurodiversityAffirming https://lnkd.in/ee52eRSj
