For many people, getting a diagnosis is life-changing. Self-compassion requires self-understanding. #autism #autismdiagnosis #therapy #therapist #autismacceptance #advocate

Autistic people usually can’t guess what others are thinking or feeling. It helps to say what you want, think or feel directly. “If they cared, they’d know” is a myth. Caring isn’t mind-reading. Say what you mean. #autism #autistic #autismquotes #autismquoteoftheday #marciaeckerd #marciaeckerdphd

Everyone deserves to feel seen and understood. For neurodivergent people, who so often face misunderstanding and confusion, that need is even greater. One of the most meaningful parts of helping undiagnosed adults is sharing in their journey of discovery.

Many moms come to realize that they are neurodivergent as their children are diagnosed. Suddenly there’s a new way of thinking about their lives and new insight into caring for their kids. #autismawareness #neurodiversity #autismacceptance
