@OT_Expert @KarenScorerOT @OTDenise @Griffin_OT @nickyot4kidsdcd This was my area of practice before transitioning to full time Autistic advocacy (because holy shit I had to lol wtf OT). Equity in access to ND-affirming spaces is my expertise and I do a gorgeous job of it. I can't wait to be able to do it locally again.

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

@BillWongOT No way. Everyone is unique and will have their own challenges. As the "first" openly Autistic person elected to government, I can say that the people coming after me have plenty of reasons to consider their health needs for engagement.

@KarenScorerOT @OT_Expert @OTDenise @Griffin_OT @nickyot4kidsdcd Hard candy and gum. The ability to make a choice and not have anyone intentionally take it from me because of dumb behavioral rules. A swing. Headphones. Space to masturbate.

@OT_Expert Will report!

@OT_Expert Gif is me, confused bc we do so much more than rehabilitate. Who stuffed us in that hole?

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

What "kind" of #OT do you do? Right now, I'm FT #Autistic advocacy occupational practitioner with a focus on neurodivergent sensory processing + access equity.

If I could be anything next, it would be an Autistic sex occupational activist.

@OT_Expert I'm going to taste test someday and get to you with my #data. I will probably appreciate its audacity.

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

@OTDenise @OT_Expert @0dds0cks Do you like it?

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

@OTDenise @OT_Expert @winniedunn @sue_mesa @DanWaldronOT This actually made me feel deeply grateful. Thank you for seeing my intention. WE are not inherently disordered. WE are neurodivergent, not broken. #Typical #Norm sensory integration goals are a form of medical model #NeuroSupremacy

#DisruptOT and let us #LIVE 🤟 [ilu ASL]

[Occupational Therapy is #StrengthsInAction 💚 @OTDenise]

@OT_Expert @TheAutisticOT Great to see @winniedunn bring embraced as it was intended - not superimposed onto a deficit model

@OT_Expert @EmilioLees @KarenScorerOT @CenDiagnostics @ChrisWadeSLT @HollytheOT @DivergentSLT @therapist_ndc I might say something like high threshold for movement, low threshold for sounds, and point out environmental and attitudinal barriers to meeting threshold needs. I think we'll be able to better identify threshold markers soon - I hope!

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

@OT_Expert @KarenScorerOT @CenDiagnostics @ChrisWadeSLT @EmilioLees @HollytheOT @DivergentSLT @therapist_ndc Thanks, I think that's really important so we're not reinforcing disordered language.

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

@OT_Expert I'm so glad you liked it!

[TheAutisticOT @TheAutisticOT]

Ahh yes! Please watch! #NDSP
