Today, I address four common missteps / misconceptions about autism spectrum disorder or ASD. Some of these are missteps that I have made before and learned from, and others are totally new to me and possibly you. But as you know my goal is always to learn more, do better, and tell you about it along the way. And know that we are all still learning, so if you disagree or wish I had included another one, feel free to let us know in those comments down below so that we can all learn together. And many of you let me know that you prefer identity first language instead of what I was taught, which is person first. Meaning it’s preferred for me to say an autistic person rather than a person with autism, so I will do my best to use this language throughout the video.
