I don’t subscribe to labels, but the fact is we’re surrounded by them. Autism, ADHD, Special Needs, Uniquely Abled, Disabled, and beyond. There is so much terminology around unique children, it can be difficult to know which ones are acceptable to use.
On today's podcast episode we are talking about why your language matters, and we’re diving into how to properly address people in your life who are different whether or not they carry a diagnosis in their life.
This is an exciting topic for me to talk about because I have a child on the Autism Spectrum and many people notice that I don't call him autistic.
My reason for that is because, while I acknowledged that labels help professionals understand the children that they’re working with, labels don't define my child.
Labels matter and also don't matter at all.
Come find out why on today's episode.
