Sharing your child’s Autism Diagnosis
We are often asked by parents of suggestions of how to share their child’s diagnosis with them.
Sometimes we even hear tales that parents are cautious, or wonder if their child is ready to understand what this means.
For us, discussing diagnosis is as everyday as picking out our outfits! Just like how we choose clothes that express who we are, talking about our diagnosis helps explain our unique perspectives of the world. 
Let’s make this conversation as natural and open as deciding what to wear! #MentalHealthMatters #SpeakYourTruth
Diagnosis is powerful in that it provides a language and explanation around how we experience the world, and why our brain causes us to respond in different ways to our peers.
Why hold back? Just as we talk about what we wear, discussing our diagnoses can bring us closer together. It’s all about understanding how our brains work and connecting with each other. 
Let’s normalize these conversations! #LetsTalk#MentalHealthAwareness
Understanding our Autistic self is really powerful in learning to advocate for our needs, to learn about situations that can impact us and ask for accommodations and understanding.
Understanding our Autistic selves empowers us! 
When we learn about our needs, we can advocate for ourselves better. Sharing knowledge within our neurokin helps everyone! What strategies have you found helpful? #AutismAdvocacy #Neurodiversity
It also importantly allows us to connect to our neurokin with shared knowledge and experience, to be able to share strategies and tips our community has found that can be helpful.
Together we grow! 
Understanding ourselves leads to powerful advocacy. By sharing experiences and strategies within our community, we can support each other in navigating life’s challenges. What advice do you have?
