Recently I was asked about labels, I believe strongly that they are a personal choice. You don't need to share your diagnosis if you feel unsafe to do so, however there can be advantages to this. I am a late diagnosed #ActuallyAutistic mother of two Autistic children, working in the field of diagnosis and I see the life changing difference diagnosis, and that increased understanding, can make.
For my first blog post I wanted to share some of the reasons labels can be useful.

What do you think- are labels harmful or helpful ?
