Autism & Celebrating Neurodiversity
Neurological differences, such as those associated with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions, are a natural and valuable part of human diversity. These differences should be recognised and celebrated.
Autism and Neurodiversity
Neurodiversity recognises and celebrates the natural variation in human cognition and behaviour. It acknowledges that autistic people have different ways of thinking, processing information, and communicating. These differences are not deficits or disorders – they are a unique way of being.
Child Autism UK is here to support autistic children, not to change their identity. We recognise the importance of respecting an individual’s unique strengths and personality. Autism is a part of who a person is, and it is not something to be cured or eliminated.
We aim to support children in developing the skills they need to lead fulfilling and independent lives. Our programmes aim to build on the child’s strengths and interests and incorporate them into daily activities and learning opportunities. This can help increase motivation and engagement and promote a sense of pride and accomplishment.
