Things You Shouldn't Say To Autistic Or ADHD People | EP44

"Don't worry. Everyone is a little Autistic".


In this episode we delve into the complexities that come from Neurotypicals saying the wrong thing to us, especially Autistic, ADHD or AuDHD people. We discuss the harmful nature of functioning labels, the need for updated language around the disabling sides of neurodivergence and for greater understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity in society as a whole.


Takeaways


  • Being neurodivergent is a unique experience that deserves understanding.
  • Misconceptions about autism and ADHD can be harmful and diminish individual experiences.
  • Functioning labels are often misleading and can hinder support for those in need.
  • It's important to educate others about neurodiversity to foster understanding.
  • The struggles of ADHD are often oversimplified and misunderstood.
  • Misconceptions about autism often diminish individual experiences.
  • Support is not special treatment; it's necessary help.
