Monastic Order of Neuroqueers: Neurodivergent consideration of common challenges in uncommon ways.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

Autistic visitors to urban centers are well-accustomed to observing through peripheral vision, not making eye contact. Advantage!

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

It occurs to me that neurotypical tourists in urban centers are at a disadvantage. They conduct themselves as penguins on the African veldt.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

I don't for a moment believe that neurotypicals are so intellectually constrained that they'd prefer shallow discourse over greater depth.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

Watching @ZooCBS and Jackson says to Chloe "riding in the back of a speeding truck with homicidal animals". Only people:people is homicide.

.@autismspeaks should put me in charge; I have more autism experience than their entire leadership combined. #ActuallyAutistic #AutismUnity

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

Since @autismspeaks wants #AutismUnity now, I don't suppose they'll object to amending their bylaws, appointing an #ActuallyAutistic BoD.

I'm trying to imagine what #KimDavis supporters would do if this sign actually appeared at the DMV. #fairgame

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

.@GovMikeHuckabee you're standing with the modern equivalent of Rosa Parks' bus driver. History and your maker will be disappointed.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

#KimDavis won't be viewed by history like Rosa Parks. No, she'll be seen more like the bus driver.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

@BobYamtich @Boycott_AS if you've only met one autistic person, you might be a recluse.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

.@stevesilberman before I clicked the link, I was thinking #KimDavis and her supporters sound like https://t.co/Rb2LDl4vXE

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

@stevesilberman devil's advocate: the kind of people who support #KimDavis are probably more likely to condemn the existence of gun permits.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

Confession: I'm now so paranoid about workplace conduct rules that it doesn't feel safe to complement people. So they only get critique.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

.@autismspeaks your message is inconsistent. Inspiration, fear for $$. We're #ActuallyAutistic. Hear us. @taylorswift13 #AutisticUnity

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

#HighFunctioningMeans escaping from Nazi death camps. Really. http://t.co/mK3Q9GARgn @stevesilberman #NeuroTribes #neurodiversity

[beardless @thebeardlessone]

"Call for unity" usually means "Shut up and agree with us." We won't, @autismspeaks. #AutismUnity

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

@feralismyheart @MabzBeet but having @autismspeaks respond to @stevesilberman while continuing to ignore us further highlights the problem.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

@feralismyheart @MabzBeet I think @stevesilberman is the first NT advocate for the autistic cause that makes me very happy.

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

How does an #actuallyAutistic writer get a chance to talk about #autismacceptance from the rarely heard first-person perspective, @HuffPost?

[Neuroqueer Monk @MONQ_Monk]

@BabyDoll1586 @MabzBeet that's because #AutismUnity is about "fixing" us. #AutisticUnity is about hearing *our* agenda.
