On a walk a couple of days ago, we were blessed with a bellbird singing for us.

I've never seen one so close and certainly not for so long. I think they are feeling a little braver with less people making noise… https://t.co/DJQgCMr4ht

Cashier asked me a question JUST as I was about to put in my pin so naturally I put my pin in backwards

Interesting how no one is talking about single-use plastics now that everyone needs them to protect themselves.

FYI: Unsolicited advice is pretty rude; particularly in regards to one's chronic illness/disability.

Openly discussing one's disability shouldn't be seen as an invitation to make suggestions for cures or expensive accessibility for the disabled person.

So, here are some ways you can learn:

1) Follow a variety of disabled activists (don’t skip the variety part). Our identity isn’t universal

2) Throwing an event? If you’re able to, hire an accessibility consultant

3) My DMs are usually open & I accept education requests

@JennyENicholson She finds her people? I thought the forest was her home? I didn't realise being the loneliest Maleficent was part of her story....

This is so common for us, I forget others do it differently. Only saying “Try this” and shoving food toward someone wouldn’t work for us. Front-loading info sets expectation, reduces anxiety, & adds processing time. We use in All things, not just food #autism #parenting #anxiety

@jameelajamil I always think the answer to those guys is "OK, you're a penguin. What are your pronouns? - because I still believe you deserve housing, medical care, safety, employment and respect as an individual and a member of society - that's all trans people want."

Lilo and Stitch is a kid's movie about how incarceration is awful and rehabilitation is better for the person and community. It also makes a strong argument against social services separating families instead of offering community support. In this essay I will

Apparently it's #PronounsDay which is neat.

My pronouns are She/Her.

I'm still Nonbinary and still agender, but I personally find it easier and comfortable to still use She/Her. I don't feel like other pronouns fit at the moment.

@JennyENicholson Appreciate autocorrect making him a Jack Man. Please enjoy these identically posed posters with different outfits

[AutisticTea @alennypage]

@JennyENicholson Isn't there a Hugh Jack man movie with a similiar premise, sans Christmas theme?

Fallen in love with an autistic? Amazing! Also, gynaecology exams are not comfortable and she apologised for causing me pain and was very gentle and reassuring. So even though I am now confirmed with #endometriosis which is sad, the experience was really positive!

[AutisticTea @alennypage]

I had such a good experience with a gynaecologist yesterday. She was so bubbly and sweet, loved how well me and mum (who I took as support) got on. When I told her I was #ActuallyAutistic (#AllAutistics) she happily said "My husband has Asperger's!" She then told me he likes to

list things and repeat things. "He tells the same joke everyday" she said, smiling brightly, obviously very much in love. It's always a bit of a gamble telling people, particularly medical professionals, about being autistic, so to have someone who not only accepted it, but had
