Thank you especially to my friends and family, and to the neurodivergent community. You have all saved my life.
And thank you to my kids, you remind me why I do the work I do every single day.
I love you all.
David ❤️

And I know that somewhere inside me is that scared 25 year old, who didn't believe he would even achieve a month, who didn't believe he would Survive pne more year.
The 25 year old who didn't believe he would ever work again.
Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported
10 years of recovery!
I never thought I'd get to say this, but today I have a decade of recovery under my belt.
The things I have achieved and the gifts I have received blow my mind every single day.
Infographic titled “Words That Wound: Why Functioning Labels Harm Autistic People” by Autistic Realms and NeuroHub Community Ltd. Key message: Labels such as “profound autism,” “levels,” and “high” or “low functioning” are not neutral. They shape access to support, autonomy, and wellbeing for Autistic people. Section: “Understanding the Harm of Functioning Labels.” “Functioning labels deny needs”: These labels reduce Autistic people to simplified categories, obscuring the depth, variability, and context of lived experiences, and replacing understanding with assumptions. “Functioning labels cause harm”: They distort how Autistic people are understood, minimise real struggles, overlook strengths, and lead to unmet, delayed, or misaligned support. Images show: Two disabled people smiling and interacting (one in a wheelchair). A young child playing. A group of people in a supportive discussion circle. Final section: Moving beyond functioning labels creates space for understanding, respect, autonomy, agency, and meaningful support. Closing statement: “Functioning labels don’t describe us, they gatekeep access to support, autonomy, and opportunity.
Delighted to write this for @neurohubcomjournal.bsky.social
" Functioning labels don’t describe us; they gatekeep access to support, autonomy, and opportunity."
