A Co Down woman has opened up on how she is battling the stereotypes surrounding autism
Rebecca McCullough is the founder of Eden Consultancy NI which is based in Belfast and launched in October 2021.
Rebecca told Be: "Originally I was a special needs teacher in England. I came back to do my masters in psychological sciences and just saw a need in equipping those who are working with or raising children with neurodiverse needs such as autism or ADHD. "I think what the video really shows is that, although there is an awareness of what autism is, there's a huge amount of stereotypes still around autism and that's one of the things we are really trying to help change and break and as I said, that kind of changing the world's perspective and creating a really good understanding that every individual is an individual."
"I understand that people are trying to sympathise and empathise but that's actually not understanding that we can have characteristics of but not necessarily be [autistic].
