If you are the parent of a young child and you're in that phase of wondering "does my child have a different neurotype? Could they be autistic?" you may be searching for advice or guidance. These episodes focus on those questions: Could my child be autistic? How do I navigate that? What does this actually mean for them, or for me? How should I work with the school, either before or after diagnosis?
Does any of this matter?
In this episode of the PenguinPod podcast we are talking to Rachael, who worked with autistic children for 12 years. Both in a residential setting and a regular school setting, Rachael brings her own perspective.
We believe that neurodiversity, like biodiversity, is beautiful and necessary and welcome. You will find a lot of information talking about 'red flags' or 'warning signs' or 'when to be concerned'. PenguinPod takes a more positive stance. How as parents can we lean into the narrative that autism is something to be celebrated and worked with rather than against?
