We don’t need a cure for Autism, we need a cure for ABLEISM 💥
Autism is a natural and valid variation in the way some brains are wired. It’s not something to be “fixed” or “treated” — it’s something to be understood, accepted, and celebrated.
Autistic people don’t need pity. They don’t need to be molded to fit neurotypical standards. What they do need is respect, access to resources, accommodations, and community. They need to know that their value is not dependent on their ability to play baseball, write a poem, or pay taxes.
Ableism is the real problem — the systems, assumptions, and attitudes that say neurodivergent people are less-than, broken, or a burden.
At Perennial SLP, our goal is to make the world a better place by providing neuro-affirming communication and feeding therapy. That means making space for communication differences, sensory needs, and the rich, dynamic ways that Autistic people experience the world. It means unlearning the ableist idea that there is one “right” way to think, feel, or interact. So, going forward..
💡 Let’s amplify Autistic voices.
🌱 Let’s embrace neurodiversity.
🔥 Let’s create a world where ALL minds are valued.
