@a4asdawareness @Great_Run @bhatti_saqib @delves1 @RobertBuckland @GillianKeegan @KeshMan_ @SolihullUpdates @JeremySDale @JakeMalbasa You're amazing Alfie! Thank you so much for your hard work and support!

We are reluctant to respond to endless baseless claims around autism, but we also want to express our determination to fight for the right path for autistic people.

That path means focusing on what matters to autistic people and using research evidence.

As the UK’s leading autism research charity, we are deeply concerned by the recent comments made by Robert F Kennedy Jr., President Trump, and the Republican Trump administration on autism.

[Autistica @Autistica]

Dealing with this discourse at a time when we desperately need to work on building a better future for autistic people is not just frustrating; it is disturbing.

Autistic people can be great communicators and deep listeners.

What’s tough? Small talk, vague language, or chats with no real substance.

Before assuming someone’s not keeping up, ask: is your story just... boring?

@lollujo Wow! This is crazy! A huge thanks to you and your community for all your support ⭐

@bigrobbo14 This is amazing!!! Thank you so much!

[Autistica @Autistica]

Small talk can be unbearable for some autistic people, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy socialising with others.

Instead of small talk:
- ask me about my hobbies
- my thoughts on a topic
- my experiences
- or my special interests.

See us as individuals, not stereotypes.

Cheffing might not seem like an autism-friendly career, but for Margot, it’s been a lifeline. Cooking suits her autistic brain and helped her find her voice!

Margot is autistic. See her as an individual, not a stereotype: https://t.co/sDVIWpB1w0

We’re tired of stereotypes.

Whether it’s our relationships, careers, or day-to-day interactions, outdated myths and assumptions continue to hold us back.

For #WorldAutismAcceptanceMonth, we want you to see us as individuals, not stereotypes.

Have your say on the Autism Act 2009!

The House of Lords Committee is reviewing the impact of the Autism Act 2009 and the Autism Strategy.

This is a crucial opportunity to share your experiences and help shape future policy and support: https://t.co/ON9qvsAPSV

[Autistica @Autistica]

Autism isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each person is unique! By making misinformed assumptions, we miss getting to know the real individual.

This #WAAM, see autistic people as individuals, not stereotypes: https://t.co/mkYzPiqb3f
