Why would ANY school strap a MOBILE child with autism in this chair?
I asked the head, and she said
"We believe the chair encourages COMPLIANCE"
My reply "Would you strap a neurotypical child down on a chair for the same reason?"
She said "How impertinent Mrs Morrison!"

Typically we're programmed to mostly give attention to things that need to be fixed.

Imagine what would happen if we put that same amount of effort into giving attention to the things that are preferable.

Celebrate. Give praise. Affirm.

Especially those who struggle the most.

The divide between #actuallyautistic adults and parents of autistic kids has been growing. But there is no better way to resolve conflict than to reach an understanding.

[Spectrum (Autism Research News) @Spectrum]

Autistic people have a hard time sensing the combination of rhythm and intonation that conveys emotions.

This may be partly because they are more sensitive to changes in pitch than their neurotypical peers. https://t.co/Dq7SKDizIc

[AI on Spectrum @AionSpectrum]

@AspieHuman Of course. These are the two main things that we’re trying to educate and spread awareness about :)

#askingautistics : We want to hear from you!
How many of you find it hard to answer this question? Can you think back to the time when you were a toddler/child/teenager and you had trouble labelling what you were… https://t.co/NrkIlFgApc

@Lil_Abecedarian There’s actually such a thing as moving meditation. There’s no “one way” of doing things.
