@AsIAmIreland Hello! You have a few typos on that post there.

[Libraries Ireland @LibrariesIre]

Ok, judging by the reaction, we definitely didn’t say that enough.

So here are some other things you may not know:

You can browse and reserve items online - ‘click and collect’ but everything is free.

'Locked away: our autism scandal' is the #Dispatches tonight on channel 4 at 730pm. I will be watching and live tweeting as I am sure will many others. Please however, mute the hashtag and signifier 'autism' tonight if it would be triggering for you. Your safety is paramount.

1/ Just overheard 2 managers talking about me and it appears I’ve been punished for “not talking about it (ABA) positively” since a few months ago when I advocated against it in a meeting for the person I support.

It’s now easier than ever to donate to our strike fund—no more checks!

We’re so grateful to those who‘ve donated as we put our paychecks and careers on hold to get a fair contract.

Continued support is more critical than ever. Donate below! ❤️

The Irish Book Awards last night had several autistic authors shortlisted for awards. Wonderful to see, especially Speechless. There have been quite a few authors who are open about their autism shortlisted in recent years and a few winners too #autisticrep #inclusivepublishing

I wrote this for @thebookseller

If it makes you mad, I'm sorry.

If it makes you feel better, I'm glad.

I hope I will always be allowed to use my voice to say: disabled people, and Neurodivergent people, deserve privacy, agency and the opportunity to hold the microphone.
