The BrainCore Podcast

What We Get Wrong About Autism | Dr. Iris Yusupov Rose


Listen Later

You’ve probably heard these before:

“Autistic people lack empathy.”

“You can outgrow autism.”

But how many of them are actually true?

In this episode of BrainCore, Tolu is joined by Dr. Iris Rose to challenge some of the most persistent myths about autism spectrum disorder. Together, they explore what gets lost when autism is framed only in terms of deficits, and what shifts when we begin to center lived experience, communication differences, and context.

This Autism Acceptance Month, we invite you to rethink how you view and understand autism!

Special Offer for Clinicians:

Interested in deepening your practice? Dr. Rose and other psychologists created Autism Reframe, an online course designed for mental health professionals to learn foundational skills through a neurodiversity-affirming lens.
