New to Neurodiversity
If you recently entered the world of autism, congratulations! You鈥檙e in the right place. Whether it鈥檚 you, a family member, a friend, or someone else you know who has recently received a diagnosis, we鈥檙e here to help you figure this out. Autism is complex, and each autistic person is totally unique, but the links we have collected below are great places to start learning.
And if the term 鈥渘eurodiversity鈥 is new to you, don鈥檛 worry. We鈥檝e collected the most helpful, clear resources we could find to assist you in the learning process. These videos, articles, and handouts are largely from #actuallyautistic and #actuallyneurodivergent creators.
If you review these resources and still have questions, please reach to Frist Center staff! We are more than happy to have a conversation.
