Why identify as Au-thentic?
Saying autism or autistic as an identifier makes a statement. However it depends entirely on the other person’s definition of autism. Unfortunately as it stands right now the response can go from positive to derogatory.
Saying neurodivergent does start a conversation, but a more clinical one.
Stating I’m Au-thentic starts a casual conversation about autism that can be built on.
I’m Ross Fraser, I’m an Au-thentic children’s author and human rights activist for the autistic and neurodivergent community. That is something I will say, with pride, for the rest of my life.
All the best

Stating you are different is never going to be easy, but personally, it felt freeing... I finally feel like me.
