What if the struggle isn't something wrong with you, but an environment that was never built with your brain in mind? We're exploring autistic identity, and why understanding your needs matters more than any label. "There's a high correlation between your sense of wellbeing and understanding of your autistic identity." - Rebecca Duffus In this episode of Your Voice Matters, host Asma is joined by autism specialist, author and advisory teacher, Rebecca Duffus to discuss what it really means to understand autistic identity. Rebecca shares her journey from working in a specialist school to writing Autism, Identity and Me, a workbook helping children and teenagers explore what being autistic means to them. Together, they explore how parents and professionals can approach a diagnosis conversation with care, why community and connection matter so much, and how understanding your own needs (not fixing them) is the real starting point. It's an episode full of practical, gentle guidance for anyone supporting a neurodivergent child, young person, or themselves. Key takeaways: Understanding your needs, strengths, and challenges as an autistic person matters far more than any label on its own.When talking to a child or young person about being autistic, watch your language: swap "you're autistic, but…" for "you're autistic, and…" to keep the message positive.There's no single "right" way to tell a child they're autistic. Take their lead, choose a comfortable setting, and drip-feed information over time rather than delivering it all at once.Connecting with other neurodivergent people both online and in person, is strongly linked to wellbeing and self-esteem.Every autistic person's experience is different. When you've met one autistic person, you've only met one. "It's tricky because language is really important, but it's balancing the fear of saying the wrong thing with not saying anything at all." - Rebecca Duffus About Rebecca: Rebecca Duffus BSc, PGCE, MA is an experienced Advisory Teacher with a Psychology Degree and a Masters in Autism and Education. She has 19 years' experience working with students and educators in both mainstream and specialist education settings as well as within local councils, charities and education services.
