⁣Episode 2 — What Does “Spectrum” Really Mean?

The autism spectrum isn’t a straight line from “less autistic” to “more autistic.” It represents many different combinations of communication, sensory processing, social interaction, executive functioning, emotional regulation, daily living skills, strengths and support needs. The spectrum isn’t a ladder. Every profile is unique.

⁣Episode 5 — AAC Is Communication: Every Voice Matters

Not every voice is spoken. AAC, pictures, typing, signs, gestures, eye gaze and other communication methods can give autistic people meaningful ways to express themselves. Instead of focusing only on how someone communicates, we can learn to listen to what they are communicating. Every voice matters.
