Children with #KBGSyndrome aren’t failing to thrive —
they’re growing on a different curve.
New research created the first KBG-specific growth charts so families are no longer judged by tools never meant for them.

As an autistic, I wish people spent less time trying to figure out how to explain things to me and more time letting my questions inspire them to get curious about why things are the way they are. #ActuallyAutistic #differentnotdeficient

I was discussing this with trainee English teachers last week, who argued that there is a great deal that working-class young people may know that those who are more privileged may not. I like to argue that young people are #differentnotdeficient

My daughter is the happiest of my three autistic children because all the communication adaptions we'd learnt to reduce frustration and anxiety were hers from the start, not added on to dispel an already committed trauma. She is fearless. #autismpride #differentnotdeficient

I agree with your point but they are not weak, they are marginalized, there’s a difference #differentnotdeficient

Please don't add to the rhetoric that autistic people are deficient and need 'fixing'. Most interventions for high functioning autistic are there to help neurotypical people step beyond their own rigid world view and see the world through others eyes. #DifferentNotDeficient

Different does not mean deficient. Let’s not see kids who are DIFFERENT from us as DEFICIENT. My mom grew up in the projects-very different from her middle-income teachers. If they’d seen her as deficient, she may never have been a national merit scholar. #differentnotdeficient
