@orionkelly Happy Birthday, but I love birthdays. I love celebrating, but what I love more is having 12 months to prepare.

My Autism says “yay” to the notice and my ADHD says “Let’s Party!” That’s bloody awesome IMO.

@emjayeowen Thankyou for sharing your lived experience. And yes we agree, Jess is a great mama! ♾️

Why would cutting 80 teachers' jobs in VIC be considered a good budgetary decision? This decision leaves thousands of disabled students without the support they need.

Shout out to all the Apple and IOS aficionados out there, keeping the mystery alive with those random monthly fees!

It's like a secret society of payments, but hey, at least we're getting the finest tech enigma money can buy! 😎💰 #AppleMysteryFees #TechEnigma #Apple

I have to ask, how does the NDIS intend to clarify Psychosocial disability? Is this another way to further restrict and limit Autistic participants from the NDIS?

This! This is what we want to change, especially within the Autistic and neurodivergent community. #DEA2023 #autism #disabilityemployment #DES #IndeedAU @CallamPickering

No huge shocks, just hoping the NDIS reduced growth projections do not impede the inclusion of ADHD to the scheme. #adhd #FederalBudget2023 #ndis

Disappointing news for Aussies with ADHD as the NDIS growth is forecasted to be reduced to 8% in this years budget. This could potentially affect the chances of ADHD being added the the NDIS scheme in the future. #ndis #adhd #FederalBudget #FederalBudget2023 #Neurodiversity

@mrpford Isn’t more inappropriate to have an “alleged” Royal pedophile in the church? Even if they did try and hide in a corner next the Harry.

@MagdaSzubanski This is true. I don’t know anyone famous to invite for dinner anyway, and yet I have Fomo looking at this dinner party lineup.

Nearly 80% of autistic women are mis or undiagnosed – but every day we’re learning more about this disability. Join these panellists to hear what it’s actually like to be autistic. https://t.co/JmdB89TsQ1 #actuallyautistic #livingonthespectrum #autismawarenessday

Sensory-friendly means you can engage all the senses while also being able to isolate that sense if needed.

Eg, Having space to stand at a seated event or having access to a quiet space.

It simply means choice.

A simple Facebook post that hit a nerve with thousands. The comments on this FB post did not disappoint and I had tears (of laughter) as I worked my through them. #autismmemes #comedy #Autism #joejames #lightitupbeige #livingonthespectrum

Happy Valentine’s Day

Recent research suggests autistic adults have a similar level of romantic interest but less relationship success and lower and lower satisfaction with romantic connections.

When tough love leads to suicide or self harm then we are doing it wrong. For many neurodivergent kids school is not safe. For the shadow minister of education to so recklessly blame parents is dangerous and wrong. #schoolrefusal #education #mentalhealth #Neurodiversity

[ABC Melbourne @abcmelbourne]

Victorian Shadow Education Minister Matthew Bach says parents must do everything they can to ensure their children attend school as rates of truancy spikes.
