I reread the brilliant “Re-thinking things through an Autistic filter” every time I need self-reaffirmation.

Thank you for writing this @OutFoxgloved

“Say you you’ll remember me
Standing in my red suit
Smiling in my black boots yeah”
Would love to hear @taylorswift13 sing this Xmas version of Wildest Dreams! 🙏🏼

On the sleigh on a cold night...”

@Danwhite1972 Oh my *******!
Oh my.
Oh my.
My actual & spiritual home city has let itself down.
I’m disgusted.

Rule not exception. “Easier” to live with the trauma you have than to allow anyone to dive in and multiply it.

@SweetJaneFA @SEND_PLIGHT Yup, on my daughter’s diagnostic report from the hospital she was often referred to as a ‘he’...

@AndrewWSEN I’ve never done the whole caffeine thing other than the odd (weak) green tea, cue joke about being ‘tea-total’, but seriously, big bloody well done on the alcohol thing #envy

As one of the people who will be unable to walk, work or even get out of bed if my meds run out, I'm looking forward to hearing from the leave voters how they plan on feeding my kids and keeping a roof over our heads!

@sendmummyblog I have autistic twins. “Twin 2” is the bland fan you describe. But “twin 1” and I (I’m diagnosed too) crave unusually strong flavours / sensory stimulation to the extreme. Can result in just as miserable social consequences further down the road (eg bulimia)

So yesterday, I was doing an orientation for our new teen interns and we ended up talking about mental health in men (they're all boys)

There were a lot of dismissive 'ugh emotions?' remarks and so I asked them if any of them knew Etika

Also the reason why ppl go to great, painful, sometimes dangerous lengths to mask their disabilities - the public assumption that it eliminates any/all value you have 💔

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

When non-disabled ppl say ‘I can’t see you as disabled. You’re incredible!’ it isn’t a compliment. What you’re saying is that disability and achievement are mutually exclusive. You’re saying disability is negative and you’re respecting someone more by not labelling them it. 3/?

@mippy Yes to Viennetta, mintolas, knickerbocker glory, blackforest gateau, Sara Lee chocolate gateau, prawn cocktail (or any seafood other than tuna or fish fingers) but also adding pork pie with the egg in the middle (gala?) and Appletize.

Despite the wickedness in the world, today has also been an utterly amazing day for wonderful, astute, intelligent ‘counter-fucktard’ brilliance. Here’s just one such example.

[Sarah ATK @SarahAutToKnow]

Sorry just got to retweet this again. People need to understand this. WE INSTINCTIVELY ATTRACT OUR TRIBE. We’re doing it right, we are not defective, my life makes as much sense as anyone else’s 💛

Here is the blog version of my @autscape talk, which I just gave this morning. It is about identity and intersections and acceptance and validation.
