It's not a mystery why neurodivergent people tend to have neurodivergent kids—even if those kids' neurodivergence isn't exactly the same as the parents'. Spread the word. -SR, who is gazing at her own friends with so much love. #neurodiversity

What’s at stake here is the quality of life and that’s evidently impacted by stigma and, an array of complex social inequalities that many Aû are facing in their everyday lives. More social and disability justice and, access to care, not just assessment.

Finding a job as autistic is a challenge, but keeping it, changing it or aspire to a career progression and retire remain under explored by research. This study offers a new perspective.
Autism employment research often focuses on getting autistics into the workforce but overlooks a crucial aspect: career progression. While autistics "may find jobs, advancing to senior roles or transitioning out of work—such as into retirement—remains underexplored."

Laurent Mottron propose une nouvelle conception de l'autisme, en le considérant non pas comme une pathologie, mais comme une forme de bifurcation développementale, comparable au fait d'être gaucher ou à la grossesse gémellaire, par exemple.
