LINKS

A COLLECTION OF BITS & BOBS

The research and collected information I found from these links to be useful when reclaiming, reviving and protecting our Neurodivergent Autistic identities, culture and flow.

 

Trigger warning:  While society transitions from the pathology to neurodiversity paradigms for respectful Neurodivergent Autistic neurology, identity and cultural communication to occur, some of the content on the linked websites sadly include undermining deficit, disorder and negative language and narratives.
