Ep. 98 Neurodiversity & the Autism Cure Debate
Update: 2025-03-27
Description
There’s a debate that keeps popping up in autism conversations, often whispered like a secret...
"But what about autistic people who suffer? Shouldn’t they have the option to remove their autistic traits?”
It’s a question rooted in misunderstanding. And it’s time to set the record straight.
On this episode, we're diving into:
✔️ Why the autism “cure” narrative is harmful and how it negatively impacts autistic individuals.
✔️ How to differentiate between autism and co-occurring conditions
✔️ How to shift the focus from “fixing” autism to true support
✔️ And more!
