This week on It's a Spectrum, we sit down with an autistic occupational therapist who works with clients from birth to adulthood. We dive deep into what OT actually is, how it helps autistic kids and adults alike, and how her own diagnosis shapes the way she supports families. We also talk about IEPs, labels like “high functioning,” how autism is (mis)understood, and why visibility matters. Oh, and yeah—Autism Speaks can kick rocks.

 

Thank you all for Listening!
