Who gets to tell the story of autism? For many of us, our earliest understandings of autism came from professionals, reports, and systems that framed Autistic lives through deficit, risk, and correction. Long before we encountered Autistic voices, we were often handed stories about what autism is; and what it supposedly means for a person’s future. In this episode of Autistic Identity with NeuroHub, David explores autism as story rather than symptom. We look at how narratives shape identity, how internalised deficit stories quietly turn into self-surveillance and self-contempt, and how re-storying autism can become a gentle, ongoing practice of reclaiming meaning, dignity, and self-trust. This conversation is for: • Autistic people exploring their own identity • Families and carers wanting to move beyond “fixing” narratives • Professionals seeking relational, neurodivergence-competent ways of understanding Autistic lives It’s an invitation to notice the stories we’re living inside — and to ask whether they are helping us breathe. 🔗 Explore Re-Storying Autism (workbook, PDF, Kindle, and on-demand video course): 🌱 Support the Re-Storying Autism Kickstarter campaign, we have until2nd April to raise £5000 but currently have £20!: 🤝 Join the NeuroHub Community (peer support, learning, and Autistic-led spaces) You're currently a free subscriber to David Gray-Hammond.
