"Our neurological differences are not problems to be cured, but natural variations in brain function. My favorite analogy: a Mac computer doesn't run on Windows, but that doesn't mean it's broken. It's just different." Full article: forbes.com/sites/jenniferpal…

3. Talk to HR or ask for a gap exception If there aren't any affordable options (e.g., service isn't covered, only out-of-network providers available), ask your HR for help (benefit exception) or your insurance for help (gap exception).

If you're a host, include calming and relaxing items in a room. This could be puzzles, a weighted blanket, and fidget toys. Have a movie playing if there’s a tv.

If you’re neurodivergent or a parent, ask your host where you can retreat to when things become overwhelming. You might bring noise-canceling headphones, a game or book.
Inclusion is a team sport.

Myth 14: “People with autism are all geniuses” or “People with autism are ‘slow’.” We need more research to figure out how (or if) autism and intelligence are related, but it’s incorrect to assume someone is intelligent or unintelligent just because they're autistic.

Myth 15: “Autistic people are violent/dangerous.” The terms “violent” and “dangerous” indicate an intention to do harm. Some people on the spectrum have challenging behaviors like self-injury or hitting. It may seem violent, but it's actually dysregulation.
