The assessment process can be scary, but it shouldn't be! While people think about diagnoses being a product of assessment, it is only ONE of the reasons we do assessment. Assessment can help us all learn more about how your child's brain (or your brain!) works, how to manage things that may be difficult, and how to make the environment a little more friendly for a more fulfilling life!

Does your kid have a psych assessment coming up?

This is a simple way to prepare them.

Learning more about your brain doesn't have to be a scary or negative thing. The more we know, the better we can take care of ourselves.

Yes?

Fionn's is holding up a mirror to the developmental and intellectual disability service system.

When did we decide that being in services means you’ve got to be a permanent self-improvement project? That your value is tied to a goal sheet? That you’re only as good as your next measurable outcome?

Sure, learning matters. Trying new things matters. But let’s not pretend that always having a goal equals having a life. Support isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about standing beside someone, not standing over them with a clipboard.

Maybe what matters most isn’t the next goal, but the person who’s already enough, just as they are.

This is your yearly reminder that-

a) Autistic people don't need to be open about being Autistic in order to be treated with kindness

b) Using blue to represent autism is tied into some really problematic parts of Autistic history that persist even to this day

If you need Autistic people to carry a blur pumpkin to show they are Autistic, the problem is not our difference. It's that you require us to compromise our safety in order to be treated with some balance of dignity.
