If you have privilege in Autism spaces - use it to make room, not take up space.

Maybe you’re non-autistic.
Maybe you're a parent, a professional, or someone without lived experience.

That’s privilege.
And with that comes a responsibility:
👉 To listen more than you speak.
👉 To center Autistic voices, not speak over them.
👉 To believe Autistic people when we share our needs and experiences.

Being an ally isn’t about leading the conversation - it’s about making sure those with lived experience are finally heard. 🔈 🙌

[ID: Against a grape background, with the Reframing Autism logo in the upper left corner and the colourful knotwork in the lower left corner, white text reads, 'Having privilege means we can - and should - step back and listen to those without the same
privilege.]
