From an outsider's perspective, it is hard to understand what it's like to have autism -- and that unfortunately can result in stereotypes and misconceptions. Self-advocate Jeanette Purkis writes from her perspective to break down some common misconceptions of her diagnosis.
This blog is associated with the Autistic Allies group on Facebook, and is a portal to useful online content. We primarily support the principle of acceptance, which exclusively involves the use of interventions that assist an autistic individual to reach their potential best selves, rather than trying to "fix" or "cure" them. We maintain a positive outlook about autism and actively work to dispel negative myths and stereotypes.
