Hi everyone,
I found a post from Mrs. Speechie P that I’d thought I would share. Mrs. Speechie P states in their post:
Many professionals are uncomfortable- or even afraid- of having the Autism conversation with parents. This can go back to how adults told us not to ask “rude” questions, and can even tie into negative experiences/responses from caregivers as professionals.
But we need to break this cycle. Talking about Autisk and disability is not bad or rude and how we talk to caregivers about it can be game changers for families!
I’ll be posting the next few days about having these conversations, so stay tuned!
