We have to stop invalidating other autism parents experiences. Everyone is different and that’s okay. It’s so important that we all coexist, learn from, and support each others journeys, even if they’re not all the same. ❤️🫶

Did you know this about autism?
Girls and women are often underdiagnosed.
Autism can look different in females.
Many go undiagnosed for years.
It’s time we change that.

What has me most concerned about the proposed autism registry?
Parents are feeling trapped between helping their kids by getting them diagnosed — and protecting them by avoiding a diagnosis to keep them off a potential list.
This is bigger than politics.
