Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages

Neurosensory Divergence: Autistic Languages reframes our thinking about how to support autistic children. Many autistic children feel like the odd ones out, like they don't quite fit in. Parents of autistic children can feel lost, frustrated and exhausted, trying to help their children fit into a world that has narrow expectations of what a child 'should' be. Helen Daniel, a late diagnosed neurodivergent adult, weaves together autistic lived experiences and scientific studies. She discusses how Neurosensory Divergence can change everything for autistic children - informing autistic languages and ways of being. Alongside highlighting how society often fails to adequately support the sensory aspects of autistic profiles. Helen offers a roadmap - a societal shift - for the understanding of autistic languages and an equitable life for our autistic children.
