FAQ&A MAPS OF THE REALITIES OF AUTISM
New families and novice service providers may face either a huge amount, or sometimes a total lack, of new information and vocabulary about Autism. However, we need information about both established scientific findings and value-able philosophies of care and use-able practices of service. This can help us better describe, explain, predict, and influence our current conditions, ongoing situations, and life span outcomes. Models of reality can effectively inform our collective expertise, while ethically reflecting all our individual experiences in relation to this new reality of Autism we must face together. Just learning that these complex realities do exist can help us avoid getting stuck in simplistic ideas that can lead to false maps of realities.
