Own Voice Educators and Advocates
One of the amazing benefits of the internet is that it gives voice to people who traditionally might not have one. And it connects people who used to have to struggle in isolation. Hearing about the Autistic experience from individuals diagnosed with Autism is incredibly valuable and many of these creators give voice to experiences and things your child may not yet be able to articulate themselves. Some people share their own lived experiences. Others have sought additional education in the form of degrees and now share what they’ve learned through the lens of experiencing Autism in their day to day lives. Both categories of voices are incredibly valuable. These are just a few of those individuals.

Autism Resources for Educators and Workplaces
“My family sought ABA help from Keystone in 2018 when my twins, who were 3 years old, were diagnosed with Autism. They attended Keystone for two years before starting kindergarten, and the progress we saw was incredible. One of my twins had no verbal skills at age 3, but within the first 6 months of therapy, he began to speak. The other twin struggled with high behaviors and frequent meltdowns, but over time, he learned to sit, follow directions, and even walk safely in public.”
