Ep. 98 Neurodiversity & the Autism Cure Debate

Season #1

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!
