Did you know that less than 40% of autistic university students who attend university complete their degrees, often due to mental health issues? Please click the link if you want to find out more about my study. https://t.co/pr4Ei5ktwL

NEW: I spoke to black & brown Amazon delivery drivers around the US who say that they are frequently threatened & experience racist incidents esp in white neighborhoods.

Amazon says it removes dangerous customers, but I found it doesn't always do so. https://t.co/gARzpfBXj8

"..hospitals located in poorer neighborhoods often lack resources needed to provide optimal care. In effect, hospitals in the US are paid less to care for Black vs. White patients. When we talk about structural racism in health care, this is what we mean."

Thanks for asking!

No, I don’t like it when white women tell me to “practice self care.”

Especially white women…

Low on spoons. Painful joints. Bones hurt. How is your week going? Have you taken care of yourself in a while?

Yes, neurodivergence extends beyond autism & ADHD,

And, yes, neurodivergence includes mad folk/mental illnesses

[Riah (ry-uh) @lilririah]

@BarcellonaR this is NOT appropriate for you to reframe like this. Their post is about colonizers, not NTs.

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Autistic culture is finding out you’re autistic and all of a sudden your special interest is autism and you want to know everything you possibly can about the subject.

A reminder that American Airlines received $5,800,000,000 in pandemic assistance from the Department of The Treasury.

$4,100,000,000 GRANT
$1,700,000,000 LOAN

[stan @Mrdolittlework]

American Airlines who furloughed and fired much if it’s workforce to give raise to the top level managers is surprised that there is a labor shortage as travel demands begin to pick up

[Disabled Doctor @DisabledDoctor]

It’s official:
After working fully remotely for almost a year, the university is terminating my contract a year early because I requested continued remote work as a reasonable accommodation.

Last day is June 30th.

How is this real?

I will fight. But, for now, I’m heartbroken.

If a therapist wouldn't spend a night in a psych ward then why do they tell us to do that?
