At the suggestion of a listener, Ashley and Jessica dive into some of the common myths about autism in Episode 7 of the On Time Autism Intervention Podcast. Take a pause with Ashley and Jessica as they challenge some commonly held beliefs about autism. To help with this exploration, Kate, a special educator for Early Supports for Infant and Toddlers (ESIT) joins to present some common questions that come from families new to an autism diagnosis. Ashley, Jessica, and Kate explore person/identity first language, what an autism diagnosis may mean for a child, questions about future communication development, and touch on origins and cultural understanding of autism. Ashley and Jessica introduce the conversation about the Neurodiversity movement and plan to explore this topic further in future episodes.
