For Autism Acceptance Month, we are highlighting the importance of valuing lived experiences. đź’™

Dr. Megan Anna Neff, founder of Neurodivergent Insights, is a neurodivergent (Autistic–ADHD) clinical psychologist, researcher, and educator whose work has helped many people understand autism and ADHD.

Through her work, she translates complex neurodivergent experiences into accessible, evidence-based tools that center self-understanding, nervous system regulation, and identity. Her voice—and the voices she amplifies—remind us that authentic understanding comes from within the community.

Parenting a neurodivergent child comes with lots of love and a level of advocacy, energy, and emotional labor that often goes unseen.

This Autism Acceptance Month, we want to recognize and support parents and caregivers, too đź’™

Here are 3 resources to support your self-care:
✨ “Your Kid Belongs Here” by Katie Rose Guest Pryal (includes section on parent care)
✨ https://autism.org/self-care/
✨ https://childmind.org/article/fighting-caregiver-burnout-special-needs-kids/

When you have the space to recharge, you’re better able to show up in the ways you want to for your child. It’s essential, not selfish.

📖This Autism Acceptance Month, we’re highlighting autistic authors because lived and individual stories are incredibly helpful for understanding the variety of experiences within the autism spectrum.

If you’re looking to diversify your reading list, check out this wonderful resource: https://autismbooksbyautisticauthors.com/ that organizes a growing collection of thousands of books written by autistic authors across genres and topics.

Disclaimer: We are sharing and amplifying autistic voices as a resource, but inclusion does not mean we endorse all perspectives or content.
