The Differently Wired Club Ethos

The Differently Wired Club is a neurodiversity-affirming community that focuses on seeing our children through a strengths-based lens and prioritizing our personal growth. Our values are optimism, hope, radical acceptance, curiosity, self-reflection, and respect.

As part of these values and the mission of the Club, please review the following membership guidelines for engaging within the community:

• We avoid the use of functioning labels (ie: “high-functioning autism”) and we prioritize identity first language (“autistic child”) over person-first language (“child with autism”)

• We talk about parenting challenges in ways that respect our children’s  neurodivergence and with the assumption that they would do better if they could.

• We don’t knowingly use ableist language.

• We participate in discussions with openness and compassion and with the understanding that many members of this parenting community are themselves neurodivergent
