The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. https://t.co/kj22LdegF1

[Mary Doherty 🏳️‍🌈 @AutisticDoctor]

Why on earth do professional bodies develop guidelines on autism without consulting their OWN members WHO ARE OPENLY AUTISTIC ???

Do they not realise how lucky they are to have members who are safe to disclose?

Then they’re surprised when their guidelines are slammed 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[Tara O’Donnell-Killen @killen_tara]

ABA is incompatible with a neurodivergent-affirming, human rights based approach.

No amount of appropriating of the ND movement language changes this fundamental fact.

The rigidity with which the industry refuses to grapple honestly w its existential crisis is breathtaking

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

The ADHD tendency to multitask during TV and miss a crucial scene and rewind too far and get bored while waiting for the missed scene and multitask again and miss said scene, again. AND again.

Hope I wont be the Grinch who spoilt #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek2023 but there's such an avalanche of well-meaning but misguided definitions of #Neurodiversity out there that I've decided Enough is Enough. So here's my Jeremiad on How NOT To! Pls RT https://t.co/F8HEexyAQc

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Many autistic people proofread and edit a text/email/message 5-10 times before sending it, to make sure they don’t send anything that might be misread as: rude, cold, condescending, critical, angry, ill-informed and/or sarcastic. If we ever take long to reply, this might be why.

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

If an autistic person asks you to buy a particular brand of food, clothing or product, please listen. The brand is often important to us, not because we are shallow, but because each brand has their own idiosyncrasies, resulting in some meeting our specific needs and others not.

[Trish Leonard-Curtin @TrishLeonardACT]

@morriseric @AislingLCurtin @ACTUALISELab @ANZACBS @myACBS Thanks so much for joining and hanging in there with us. What a lovely group. I had a blast. Only wish we had more time. Next time 🙂

[Trish Leonard-Curtin @TrishLeonardACT]

@Rubberbandits It’s a bit like the “Highly Sensitive Person” construct for people who want to distance themselves from autism because they think autistic people have no empathy. Maybe you’re autistic!
