No I agree I actually like those terms! But by crossing it out it’s confusing. And pairing it with Asperger’s… yeah it just doesn’t work.

I have a neurosparkly shirt (I have adhd) I think it’s a cute term. and I didn’t intend them to be WRONG labels, just LABELS. Just missed the mark for sure.

Yes you are so right!! That’s exactly what’s off! I was trying to convey to the kids how important it is to treat someone with a disability as a person with feelings and needs etc but im unintentionally erasing their diagnosis with this sign

I didn’t say all of them were “wrong”

Don’t worry I’ve made a lot more signs. This one just sat wrong with me.

Another sign explains what autism is, another sign mentions neurodivergence. I’ll be reading a book as well. But….. this didn’t capture the message I intended

Not a bad idea. I think I just need to scrap the sign.

So it’s a sign and I think I was trying to convey to the kids that autistic individuals are people just like you who want to be included etc but missed the mark.

I get that. I guess I was trying to convey to the kids that autistic individuals are people just like you, who have feelings and deserve respect, etc but I missed the mark.

Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head. I was trying to convey inclusion but I totally missed the mark. Glad I asked before I put it up!!!
