If you think autistic people can't be leaders, maybe you're just buying into the stereotype. Look again? #Autism https://t.co/siUezvLUqy

All the world has an opinion on autistic children, so here's a few thoughts from an autistic adult about what might have helped me. #Autism https://t.co/XoMHqqLpEU

In order to be heard, I need to communicate in a way that works for you, but what if my autistic communication is naturally different? #Autism https://t.co/pARPQgDBEg

@CarlBovisNature Your photos are absolutely one of the best things on Twitter.

How to make special days special when all your autistic instincts crave consistency and sameness? Not a major problem, but it can lead to isolation and feeling rejected or else being overwhelmed. #Autism https://t.co/Dvn8POIcDm

British white because they have adorable little faces

Stereotypes can be dangerous things - we see what we expect to see, not what's there. With autism that comes out as expecting someone like Rain Man - but the actual autistic individual may be totally different. #Autism https://t.co/xK8tJ5LJ4E

Happy birthday to one of our great national treasures: David Attenborough

[BBC London @BBCLondonNews]

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough 🎉❤️

The broadcaster who changed how we see the natural world.

May the fourth be with you! Specially if, like some autistic people, you have to be the plucky underdog standing up to an unfeeling authority. #Autism https://t.co/3lzhSmq2jS

This greenfinch has looked at your browser history and is not impressed.

A gorgeous Greenfinch giving me the look! 😁😍
Taken from my bathroom window... 🐦

@PotteryThrow Great cast! Looking forward to it already.

No idea what kind of bird it is but it's very very pretty against its lovely green background.

[Carl Bovis @CarlBovisNature]

Who knows the name of this bird? 🤔🐦

Autistic employees aren't (don't have to be!) difficult, but we do feel it soonest when management is poor or the culture is bad. Treat that as a feature not a bug? #Autism https://t.co/Nols9o0q9T

One of the things that creeps the neurotypicals out about we autistics can be that we become overwhelmed by our emotions and/or shut down. But that's no reason to be scared of us. #Autism https://t.co/WijMIYNjFf

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10

If you're disabled you may feel you were born broken. You shouldn't have to feel that but maybe you do. There's so much in the world that can make us depressed. #Autism https://t.co/HEzqjV0maX

[Dr Helen Jeffries @HelenEva8]

My autistic brain always wants to face the worst. At this time of year we look at the worst that can happen on Good Friday, and how the worst can be redeemed at Easter that follows. Here's to the future being better than the past. #Autism https://t.co/2cAutrhMYz

@TPisshead @ArchbishopSarah I don't think you understand what faith and belief are. I hope you come to hear God's voice in future.
