Autism and Neurodiversity
Possum House fully embrace the neurodiversity affirming movement and consequently only use interventions that are supported by the autistic community, do not promote masking and help individuals understand what their brain needs and how to advocate for themselves.
This includes supporting young people up to the age of 16 as well as neurodivergent and neurotypical parents supporting children aged 16 and under. As part of our commitment to the autistic community we use identity first language unless you prefer something different. We also are proud to say we have a number of neurodivergent people employed by Possum House at all levels of the organisation.
