From our friends at Autism Level Up! Let’s all commit to leveling up just a little bit each day.

Hello All, As we work to change the narrative of neurodiversity it is critical that we work to educate and inform services for our community. To that end I am asking that people review and comment on the State of Californian’s Plan from the State Council on Developmental Disabilities (SCDD). This is the group that informs Regional Centers across the state how best to support our communities. This is how we change the standard of care that families enter into as their children are diagnosed as neurodivergent. Let’s make sure our voices are heard. Please check out this site to submit your comments by November 9,2020. They are on a better path of inclusion. Let’s make sure the right voices are guiding the way.

Have you ever wondered about the term camouflaged in relation to autism?

When we learn how to spot mastery of these skills we are better equipped to support those who might need our connection, compassion and curiosity.

Here are resources from the UCDavis Mind Institutes summit on WOMEN ON THE SPECTRUM: FROM RESEARCH TO REAL LIFE.
