Autism is not a deficit or a thing to be 'fixed' but a richly different way of being that should be respected and supported.” (Reframing Autism)

"Play is our brain’s favourite way of learning."

"When we teach kids about their brains, they feel more in control of their behavior and emotions." (The Whole Brain Child book)

"The essence of therapy is a safe relationship; within which the brain can change." (Kim Barthel)

"Regardless of labels, what matters is validating and understanding individual experiences. We need to accept and meet people where they are, providing support and accommodations based on their unique needs. It’s about seeing the strengths and challenges of each person, fostering empathy, and creating a more inclusive and compassionate society." (Mr. Chazz @mrchazz)
