[Reframing Autism @ReframingAutism]

Parents who avoid having their child diagnosed because they don't want to "label" them, should know that they will be labelled anyway. But giving them access to their Autistic identity ensures they will be CORRECTLY identified rather than UNFAIRLY labelled.

@tlecaque Also: Kinder Carcason and Five Tribes

@tlecaque Our Kidlet beat us at Dominion at age 7, so yes to the suitability for precocious kids! (Also, tremdendous replay value - never feels like the same game again unless you want it to).

@jbwarren2 @dianarenn I predict you will love Trouble at #Turtle Pond!

[E Norton Author (she/her) @ENortonAuthor]

The best mail is #book mail. And the best book mail is a book written by a dear friend that you got to read in its early form. I can't wait to curl up with the final version of How To Be A Goldfish by @jbwarren2! #amreading #middlegrade

[Autistic Girls Network @AutisticGirls_]

So many statistics used seem to conflate autism with mental health problems. But if we recognised autism earlier, helped everyone to view it positively and supported to understand energy accounting and putting in positive boundaries, mental ill health is NOT inevitable.
