​(76) Why we need to prioritise the mental health and wellness of autistic people | LinkedIn
For World Autism Acceptance Week, we are looking at how being autistic can affect a person’s experience of their mental health. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is not a mental health disorder, but a neurodiversity, like ADHD. However, owing to our world being majority made by and for neurotypical people, autistic people can struggle with their mental health in a world that not only isn’t designed for them, but that often misunderstands them and their needs too.
