Tomorrow is #autismawarenessday #autismawareness #autismacceptance (a tricky time for all sorts of reasons). As our understanding of autism in different populations progresses more people have the opportunity of understanding their neurotype. Knowing your neurotype is akin to knowing what operating system your computer runs on - with the information you get more out of the machine! Research shows that identifying your neurotype can have a positive effect on mental and physical health. I created this album as a resource bank for people advocating for identification. https://lnkd.in/e96_RZHQ

We hear so much from health professionals, within our communities, in the media and amongst our families and friends of how late #autism discovery can’t be a thing, that if we’ve got this far then we really can’t have struggled that much, or that we must be ‘high functioning’ and have little to no support needs. Then there’s the people who say that self-identifying isn’t valid, that you can only be autistic if and when a doctor ‘diagnoses’ you. Yet many in our community can’t access an assessment pathway - diagnosis is a privilege - and there are also many who choose to self-identify often after many years of self-exploration. We need to honour and embrace people’s deep and intrinsic self-knowing. Those who self-identify are a part of the autistic community too - acceptance and belonging matters. And we need to be more inclusive in our language. Late 👇 Discovered Diagnosed Identifying Exploring + other variations are all valid. #thelatediscoveredclub
