@AppleSupport The Photos app new layout is a major cognitive accessibility challenge. Even if it can be customized, the interface is cluttered, not intuitive and requires a lot of scrolling. This makes the search experience difficult and increases cognitive load.

@uOttawa @VirginieCobigo @OpenCanada @uOttawaFSS We were unfortunately not consulted for the choice of image. I share your disappointment in the image chosen to represent the article. We ask @uOttawa to take down the tweets and change the image.

[Virginie Cobigo @VirginieCobigo]

@uOttawa @Fatou_Bah1 @OpenCanada @uOttawaFSS I sincerely apologize. My team and I have not been consulted for the choice of the image and we are sad an offensive image was chosen to illustrate an article that values the voices of 2 individuals who are part of your community. Please @uOttawa and @uOttawaFSS, delete the image

On this #BudgetDay2023, a thought for democracy, too.

@KaseyNBailes @AutisticCallum_ Also c here. My brain questions everyone and everything so I’ve never been “a” and for “b” I’m only reactive if I know I have the evidence to back it up. I get quite reactive and frustrated when I know I’m right and need to accept that some are willfully stubborn

“Neurodiverse employees bring a wealth of creativity, skills and perspectives that can add immense value to any company.”

@PeopleMgt reports on research showing that two thirds of #Neurodivergent employees fear discrimination at work.

@DrAdamJones Omg🙆🏾‍♀️! It’s mind blowing how people are still this misinformed on Autism in the day and age of Google and Social Media. It’s not that hard to do a quick search before sending an email or writing an article.

[Fatou Bah (She/her) @Fatou_Bah1]

@EdKollin @VICENews You’re no morally better than those parents if you’re not going to listen to autistic people and speak over them.

[Fatou Bah (She/her) @Fatou_Bah1]

Asperger’s is an outdated term for #Autism. It was named after a Nazi doctor. It’s also not an official diagnosis. Please make the correction and employ inclusive language in the future. This is not acceptable from a major news publication.

[Fatou Bah (She/her) @Fatou_Bah1]

@EdKollin @VICENews Lol as an autistic person yes I am worried about the language used. Non inclusive language contributes to further marginalizing us. Maybe you should prioritize listening to #ActuallyAutistic people and worry about your own performative allyship.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

In essence, in the majority of situations, the responsibility of overcoming The Double Empathy Problem rests solely on your shoulders, you know this to be the case, and to have a reasonable conversation you must play chess with yourself every time you plan to say something.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

To bridge the gap, you must plan what you want to say, accurately preempt what they’ll read into that, and then tweak it until you have enough to help them read the right things into what you say, but not so much that they read even more into what you say and become offended.
