Hi, I'm Ace! I'm 20 and studying at uni.
I'm in the process of getting an ADHD diagnosis and wanted a place to engage with the ADHD community on twitter, so I made this account!
If this doesn’t show you exactly what @Spectrum_10K is about and the movement towards a cure and pre-natal screening, then at this point I feel like you’re just choosing not to listen to autistic people. #StopSpectrum10k
Yes this is from the man leading the study.
I am autistic and have a PhD in mathematical science. The study structurally is near certain to fail in its stated objectives. In its data usage setup (I literally manage a team of data analysts and am well compensated to advise on this), it is near certain to leak sensitive data
I had the immense honor of being part of a production of Little Shop of Horrors that starred a trans actress in the role of Audrey. I witnessed, first hand, what Mj’s performance meant to trans folks young and old, how it breathed NEW LIFE into an old classic, and how the… 1/2
[Food, diet mention]
Sure glad I went to see me doctor for unexplained weight gain because turns out I'm insulin resistant and actually need to eat more food MORE frequently, along with taking hormone medications.
If I had tried restricting foods, I would have made it *worse*!
This. Call me old fashioned but I reckon the show about the flying wizard Jesus Nanny, the singing statue and the upside down tap dancing chimney sweep can cope with something as radical as “woman cast as woman”.
Organisations withdrawing from Stonewall to supposedly not want to be seen taking a side in the “trans debate”, actually are taking a side and it ain’t the side of trans acceptance
“We’d like DNA samples from an entire people group, please. Just to - uh - support them. Not at ALL to work out how to stop them being born. Oh, your data may be given to other companies.”
In what other people group would this not cause an outcry?

Here is my blog post explaining what Spectrum 10k is, who is involved, my concerns surrounding it, and what we can do about it. Please read and share, because autistic people’s voices are not being centred in this. #StopSpectrum10K

The Spectrum 10K study alarms me. I can’t think of a compelling reason as to why DNA samples are needed and worse yet, they haven’t given one. I don’t consider “support” a good reason, as: a) what *is* this support?; and b) why do you need DNA to understand and give said support?
so they're absolutely not the perfect clothing but I wouldn't call them embarrassing. I love the number of pockets they have. I just can't wear them myself
