We asked an autism expert how she advises parents to talk to kids about their diagnosis, depending on what age they are, and why she recommends telling kids sooner, rather than later.

Read more at the link below including what should a thorough evaluation look like, why diagnoses are sometimes delayed, especially in Black children and in girls, and how to explain an autism diagnosis to friends and family.

"The truth about us is an expert player. It seeks us out until we put our arms around it and welcome it."

In all my years of owning this book, today was the first time I read this excerpt. I somehow seemed to miss this day every other year.

In what ways is my life comfortable, easy, and full of love?

One of my v favorite readings in this book🤍.
