Cocoon Clinical Services
"Raising a neurodivergent child with the help of the internet is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture using trampoline instructions—you might end up with something creative, but it definitely wobbles. What you really need are professionals who understand the difference between an autistic meltdown and a tantrum, a sensory need and 'being difficult,' and who know it's not bad parenting—it's misunderstood neurodivergence." Dr Jill Woods, multi-neurodivergent clinical psychologist and mother

"The difference between high-functioning autism and low-functioning is that high-functioning means your deficits are ignored, and low-functioning means your assets are ignored." – Laura Tisoncik
