It’s Invisible Disabilities Week (19–25 October)! 🌻

Around 80–85% of people with a disability have one that isn’t visible. These include neurological, cognitive, sensory, mental health, and chronic conditions that aren’t always immediately apparent.

Not all disabilities are visible — but a little understanding and kindness can go a long way in making everyone feel seen and supported.

This week is Invisible Disabilities Awareness Week!

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a neurological motor speech disorder that makes it hard for children to speak. Children with the diagnosis of apraxia of speech generally have a good understanding of language and know what they want to say. However, they have difficulty learning or carrying out the complex movements that underlie speech. There are often co-occurring challenges that can last into adulthood in the areas of residual speech errors, language, reading/literacy, academics, and social skills. There is no cure, but with intensive and appropriate speech therapy, most children learn to produce intelligible speech and can overcome many of their challenges.

We’re taking a short break from social media while our team are on leave. At the same time, we know there will be conversations globally around autism, that may share harmful and inaccurate ideas about the “cause” of autism. These kinds of narratives can feel heavy and damaging for our community.

We want to leave you with these protective reminders:
💛 Autism is not caused by vaccines, parenting, or diet. Autistic people have always been part of humanity.
💛 Harmful claims do not change the truth of our lived experience, or the strength and beauty in our community.
💛 You don’t need to engage with every harmful comment or headline. Protect your energy.
💛 Surround your feed with autistic voices, affirming psychologists, trusted researchers, and good allies. Look to the people who reflect your values and share accurate information.
💛 Choose if, when, and how you wish to advocate in response. You don’t need to enter every discussion you are invited to. But if you do want to respond, know you have a community behind you.
💛 Focus on the communities and organisations that affirm who you are, not those that drain you.

Take gentle care of yourselves. We stand with you in love and solidarity, and we’ll be back online soon after the school holidays. 💛🐞
