What is autism and how should we talk about it?  Katie Forbes discusses the detrimental impact of viewing autism as a disorder; something that needs to be fixed or cured. Katie invites viewers to look beyond such terminology and see autism for what it is, simply a difference. Not bad, nor less - just different. Katie highlights the harm of masking and the importance of working towards an inclusive future for all. Katie Forbes is a journalist, with a background in digital and social media marketing, based in Aberdeen, Scotland. Katie currently holds the role of Engagement Producer at Reach PLC and Creative Lead of the ReachAbility committee.
