🧩 Autism = Difference, Not Deficit 🧩
Autism is a difference, not a deficit 💛
Every autistic person is unique – with their own strengths, challenges, interests and ways of experiencing the world 🌍✨
In dietetics, this might mean:
🥕 Sensory preferences with food
🕰️ Needing routine and predictability
💬 Different communication styles
There is no “one size fits all” 💙
Acceptance starts with person‑centred care and flexibility 🤝
