What happens when public feuds touch private lives especially children’s?
In a past viral exchange, autism became part of the conversation for all the wrong reasons. But here’s what we can do right: use it as an opportunity to learn, unlearn, and uplift.
As therapists, parents, and community members, we can shift this narrative by learning the facts:�
🧠 Autism is a spectrum.�
🗣️ Nonverbal doesn’t mean unintelligent.�
📚 Learning differences are not synonymous with autism.
Let’s choose understanding over assumption and compassion over clout.�Because every child deserves to be seen with dignity, not diagnosis-based shame.
