13.01.2022 There is no cure for autism and therapists should not provide therapy with an intent to "cure" autism. Pathology Model: Autism "refers to a group of complex neu...rodevelopment disorders characterized by repetitive and characteristic patterns of behavior and difficulties with social communication and interaction. The symptoms are present from early childhood and affect daily functioning." Neurodiversity Model: ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network): "Autism is a developmental disability that affects how we experience the world around us. Autistic people are an important part of the world. Autism is a normal part of life, and makes us who we are. ASAN believes that instead of trying to change disabled people, we should work to make sure people with disabilities can access what we need." Autistic People: Think differently Process senses differently Move differently Communicate differently Socialize differently May need help with daily living https://autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/about-autism/ https://autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/position-statements/ Some Autistic people have intellectual disability, others do not. Some Autistic people can speak, others do not speak. Some Autistic people need a lot of support in their daily lives, others do not. Some Autistic people have other disabilities in addition to autism, others do not. Therapies should help Autistic people, not train them to appear less autistic or meet neurotypical standards or clinical outcomes. We don't "Treat Autism". "Autism Therapy looks like: ABA/Behavior Modification Training Neurotypical Social Skills, teaching masking Insisting on spoken communication/Verbal behavior Gatekeeping AAC Masking Sensory Processing issues Denying access to supports, accommodations and modifications Extinguishing echolalia, stimming or Autistic "quirks" Empathetic and Respectful Therapy for Autistic people looks like: Unrestricted AAC access Improving communication abilities using a total communication approach Teaching self-advocacy Providing supports, accommodations and modifications in schools and for activities of daily living Perspective-taking, problem solving/ empowerment ST/OT/PT using a trauma informed approach 2020 Therapist Neurodiversity Collective For a free pdf download of this infographic or any of our others, go to: https://therapistndc.org/education
