@AutismAdulting Plz watch. As an autistic person I have felt really lost during this pandemic. Words can’t express my pain. In this video I sing The Long And Winding Road to express how much I want to return to the world I once knew. youtube.com/watch?v=Rbzf04…
This is why I'm against Eugenics. Yes, even for "severe" or "classic autism" (which is her dx, given at 25 months, provisionally given at 18 months, within 5 minutes of the ASD consultant inviting us to sit down in his exam room). She's my heart, you ableist creeps.
#AskingAutistics what are your views on Steve Silberman’s book Neurotribes?
Autism is not an illness. Please retweet this so everybody finally knows it as soon as possible.
CW: filicide . . . . . Another innocent autistic child was murdered by his mother. I‘m so sorry Alejandro. You deserved so much better. To all of you: If you have any sympathy for the mother, don‘t share it publically. Work it out internally with yourself, until it is gone.
I dunno I sort of feel like abled people really need to start understanding a thing most Disabled people figure out eventually. There is no "back to normal". There's a "Before Normal" and a "Now Normal" and a "Future Normal".
I think the "zoom calls are terrible actually" discourse is as close as we're going to get to an admission that staring people dead in the eye while emoting animatedly isn't the marker of normal behavior that neurotypical culture says it is 👀

For Autistic Awareness Month, please be aware that somewhere, you have a pen you absentmindedly stole from an autistic person. We remember and we want it back. Regards, #AutismAwarenessMonth
fuck typical
There are bigger fish to fry, but I just want to say that Autism Moms who post cutesy things about how parenting an autistic child prepared them for social distancing and COVID-19 are not my favourite people right now.
A friend just shared an article that's telling people *how to do social distancing*. For all of the crap we take for the stuff that doesn't come as naturally to us, I think that every single #ActuallyAutistic person deserves a hero cookie for not pointing and laughing.
Which is correct? Person with autism or autistic person? Please say why in the comments Please RT for the largest sample size
Oooh, how Liz said "Children with disabilities" instead of "special needs" language because the disability community asked her to change it! 🧡 PS @RebeccaCokley thank you for that. #CripTheVote #Democrats #DemDebate #DemocraticDebate

I am excited that @Sara_Rose_G will have me as her first guest. We had a wonderfully autistic time, which is to say we went on multiple tangents, were delightfully inappropriate and had intense heart-to-hearts. Please to buy her book Drama Queen.
@AutismAdulting I know it feels like the only thing that’s on the media and off of it, is the drama and negativity. I know how it feels. It’s so hard to find genuine people nowadays.❤️🥺 but I really hope to meet you and others that are seeing this because, we all go through the same thing
The recent outpour of support for Palestine has been incredible and seemingly unprecedented. The tides are turning.
*sips coffee* Calling an autistic-coded teen female character an annoying know-it-all is ableist whether or not you personally read her as autistic. You are literally describing people with autistic traits as less than. Please don’t do that.

disabled folks, i’m starting to think we might need to be more open about the moments we have where we truly have nothing but negative feelings about our disabilities
Caitlyn Jenner says she’s against same sex marriage. 🤦♀️
We were also told the reason adult dependents (ppl w/ disabilities, college students, etc) were left out from survival checks again is bc Trump wants checks ASAP & said including adult dependents would “slow it down,” so he flat out refused - but that excuse doesn’t make sense /1
If I have a research resolution for 2021, it is to have higher expectations for autism research that excludes those with limited speech, as so much of it does. How can research be described as 'participatory' when a large section of the autistic population is omitted?
often in queer spaces race stuff feels like an afterthought rather than something that’s centred and considered from the start, leaving a vastly outnumbered number of poc, IF there are any present, to raise race issues, and honestly yt folks need to do better

I didn't read all of JK Rowling's extremely long essay because I got tired of slogging through bad writing, but the part where she said that if she'd been born later, she might have decided to transition stood out like a blinking neon sign, and yet hardly anybody talks about it.
