About / Our language approach
Our language approach
We use neurodiversity‑affirming, respectful language that prioritises dignity and clarity.
Why language matters
Language can shape how people feel about support. We aim for respectful, plain‑English explanations that avoid stigma and focus on practical help.
How we choose terminology
- Use neurodiversity‑affirming language by default.
- Include regional terms when they are widely used and understood.
- Explain clinical terms in plain English, without over‑medicalising.
Feedback welcome
If you notice language that feels unclear or disrespectful, please let us know.
