Welcome to Huddle and Craft!
Use of language:
At Huddle & Craft, we use identity-first language as our default — "autistic people", "neurodivergent people", "ADHDers" — because this reflects how many in our community choose to identify. We follow the lead of each person we work with and adjust if someone expresses a different preference for themselves.
We don't use functioning labels, deficit-based framing, or language that positions neurodivergence as something to be fixed. We believe autistic and neurodivergent people are whole, capable, and creative — and our sessions are built around that.
If we ever get our language wrong, please tell us. We're always learning, and we'd rather be corrected than cause harm.
