“So please stop assuming that one kind of autism is “more autistic” than other kinds of autism. Red isn’t “more spectrum” than green or blue.  Apples aren’t “more fruit” than oranges.  That’s not how it works.” #autism #perspective https://t.co/aaXUhxVLzj

There are about 2x as many negative emotion words in than dictionary than positive & our brains hold on to the negative like Velcro! It’s important to be intentional about the words we use with students!!! Thank you AADA for sharing your morning with me! #ttacodu #AADAinAction

Got to hear Temple Grandin speak last night! Such an amazing advocate for focusing on what people CAN do! Some people ride the rockets, but they couldn’t do it without the people who build the rockets!#WeNeedAllKindsOfMinds #Autism #Acceptance

“It’s not charity. It’s not, ‘We feel sorry for you, here’s a job,’” Boulden says. “We benefit because they’re producing.”

@jenorr It looks like you are a VA teacher, if so, have you checked with your region’s TTAC? They have a free lending library full of professional materials!

“We want to be on the forefront of changing corporate culture,” Abramo said. “We really want to spread that program to as many as possible because if these companies aren’t looking at all the candidates they’re missing out on a huge talent pool.” https://t.co/CmE9QStnDa

...that’s how we should look at all kids
