Some people think that autism is a stage, particularly experienced by children and that one can actually “grow out of autism” whether through therapy and intervention or independently. The truth is one cannot grow out of autism. Autism is lifelong and there is no ‘cure’ through either therapy or medicine. There is every reason to believe anyone living with autism will lead a happy and meaningful a life. #lovebundy #ndisprovider #disabilitysupport #disabilityservices #disabilitycommunity #disabilitycare #ndis #ndisregisteredprovider #carer #ndissupport #myndis #abilitynotdisability #disabilityisnotinability #disabilityawareness #disability #inclusion #disabilityadvocate #disabilityinclusion #inclusionmatters #disabilityrights #disabilitylife #iamadaptive #accessibility #diversity #disabilitypride #inclusionrevolution #ability #accessible #disabilityjustice #disabilityactivism
