Statement About Autism Comments
Read our response to recent public statements about autism.
Words matter.
They shape how society sees autistic individuals and how those individuals see themselves. Too often, the language used in public discourse has overlooked the richness and humanity of autistic lives.
Research and support must be thoughtful, inclusive, and guided by data, alongside the lived experiences of autistic individuals and their families. Their insights are essential to building systems that truly serve.
Autism is a complex and multifaceted condition that affects people differently across a broad spectrum.
If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.
Each person diagnosed with autism is unique.
Person Centered Services will always stand on the side of those we support and their families. Because there is no known cause we will continue supporting research while elevating voices and the lived experiences of autistic people.
