Neuro-Affirming Language Guide

FRERESOURCE

The words we choose matter - especially when it comes to describing and supporting neurodivergent people. Whether you're a parent, educator, professional or a curious ally, this guide is designed to help you speak with more understanding, compassion and clarity. 

Language is always evolving, and so are we. This isn't about getting it perfect, it's about doing better for the people we care about (and the little ears that are always listening). 

What’s inside?

Inside this free download, you’ll find a list of outdated language and their affirming replacements, with real-world context behind each term. It’s designed to help you feel more confident in the words you use and more aligned with the neurodivergent communities you're supporting. Use it as a conversation starter, a teaching tool, in inclusivity training or something to print and pin on the fridge.

Plus, an exclusive discount is included as a special thank you for being part of our community!
