“Everyone is claiming to be neurodivergent nowadays”

I think most people saying this don't remember what life was like before social media. (Or weren't born yet)

So, I'm going to paint the picture.

It was the early 90s…

"Everyone is claiming to be neurodivergent nowadays because life is hard and they just want an excuse to be lazy"

I've seen this sentiment a lot over the past few years and I want to share a story that I think is important…

I wish more people understood that level 1 autism is a serious condition and that level 1 autistic people are not exaggerating their struggles or making them up…

A lot of people get parenting autistic children wrong. And I'm going to explain how in the simplest of terms.

They think autistic kids need to learn how to tolerate things they find intolerable, because... ""that's life.""

This could not be more wrong…

To those pushing for a ""cure"" for autism, I'd like to explain a few things to you if you're open to listening... which I hope you are.

Autism is a brain wiring difference. It comes in many forms…
