NeuroAffirmations, PLLC

​

• I recognize the way neurodivergence is studied has been heavily biased, leading to less understanding and fewer resources for those holding marginalized identities.

• I challenge the idea of "problem behaviors" by looking at the situation and cultural context. A lack of eye contact in the United States is perceived as rude, but elsewhere it may not be.

• I view communication as a two-way process (in fact, research shows that autistic people can communicate and be understood by each other quite well)

• I reject interventions that pathologize innate neurodivergence and seek to conform us to a neurotypical standard.
