@SarahMarieOB My son is doing this and enjoying it so far.

[Dr Tracy Turner @amazonians]

@tipperairey Same here. It says to me that he has a lifetime of trauma being laughed at for his traits and therefore is using this for his comedy which in turn reinforces the view that autistic people are there to be laughed at. Awful.

[Dr Tracy Turner @amazonians]

Anybody else unable to watch Ludwig because it appears to be an autistic man making fun of autistic traits?

[Dr Tracy Turner @amazonians]

@SarahMarieOB Good luck.

@Ian_A_Irwin @RealDMitchell @BBCOne @BBCTheOneShow @BBCFrontRow I had the same thought and had to find it on YouTube to prove to my OH.

My whole life in a nutshell

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

FYI... Autistic people tend to think in complexities.

Someone can ask us to do something seemingly straightforward, but our brains will often make it into something extremely complex and nuanced.

We ask questions to untangle our thoughts.

[Dr Sophie Phillips @Soph_Phillips32]

Very excited that my book 'The Autistic Postgraduate Woman: Navigating the Neurotypical University' is now available for pre-order from @PavPub. Foreword by the brilliant @DrAmyPearson.

✨New @OpenAccess research

"Findings highlight strong support for #autistic leadership ... and for societal reform, and suggest that oversimplified rhetoric may cause confusion regarding advocates’ views"

Our paper about neurodiversity, models of disability, and intervention preferences is out.
Led by Patrick Dwyer, with a stellar team.
It is a sequel to our 2013 Dev Psych Neurodiversity paper and I think it has a depth and power that is 11 years stronger: https://t.co/leMrLr3M0n

Measurement Issues: Measuring well-being is challenging due to varying definitions and the need for reliable, valid instruments tailored to specific groups like university students. https://t.co/xHT4IXkN9C @alysondodd @PriestleyMJ @katietyrrell99 @KittyN101

I haven't seen this book, so this is not a recommendation based on having read it, but I am reposting in case it's of interest to anyone.

[JKP Books @JKPBooks]

Are you autistic or supporting someone who is? This beautifully written book, co-authored by 11-year-old Rose and her mum Jodie, an autism specialist, breaks down the autistic experience in a way that truly makes sense. 💬💡
