#DisabledPeopleAreHot
I’m a professional actress with autism - I get looked over for parts that are written for attractive women because of my disability and I’m a bit tired of it

@2gay2lift are we able to recommend you content?? I’ve found a webseries that’s at cool cat levels of a. amateur, b. cringe and c. Self absorbed, while maintaining a watchable and good production value. Far too good to miss out on!!!!

Just heard the father of the Social Model of Disability, Mike Oliver, has died. Disabled people all over the world owe him a huge debt & all of us who come after him must continue his work. RIP Mike. Thanks for showing the way! ❤️

@Barbour do you sell unwaxed versions of your canvas jackets? I’m autistic and can’t deal with the sensory feel of the waxed ones, but adore the look of the jackets and would love to get one! Thanks ♥️ #spd

what if public libraries were open late every night and we could engage in public life there instead of having to choose between drinking at the bar and domestic isolation

@SamAhern3 I think I just saw you in co-op but got way too awkward to say hi so if that was you - hey! If you ever wanna get coffee I’m always around ☕️💁🏼‍♀️

Ha, well, a girl I went to uni with is now calling herself an autism advocate.
A non-autistic person whose most in-depth link to autism is working as a befriender for the NAS.
That does not an advocate make, nor does using bad autism terms or lighting it up blue.

I’m a professional autistic actor givin a TEDx talk on autism later this year!

[Sue Fletcher-Watson @SueReviews]

I'm an autism researcher and my husband @bfletcherwatson is a theatre researcher.

We've been trying to work out how to turn all the attention around #puppetgate to some positive effect, and so...

here follows a wee thread of autistic artists we've come across

[Brianna Whitrock (Shrum) @BriannaShrum]

today in people of the internet: “LETS NOT MOM SHAME OVER VACCINES OK”

like listen Patricia not mom shaming is for things like when you put your baby in their own room or when you start solid foods not for starting a smallpox epidemic

Okay, so fun story: I did my honors capstone paper in college on East Asian ritual puppetry traditions and their connection to continued social marginalization of puppet theater practitioners.... (1/?)

At 9 years old I tripped over and bit right through my bottom lip and chipped my tooth on the other side 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is the most physical pain you've ever felt? Not necessarily the most gruesome injury but the cause of the most acute, intense pain you've experienced?

[Natasha @aspieactor]

@Sarahmarieob @Stray29th Congrats!! ♥️

[Ada Powers //☁️ @powe.rs @unknownmetric]

ADHD is the most poorly-named affliction ever. like hi do you have a profound physical inability to accomplish your goals specifically because they're your goals and also the thought of your friends not liking you makes you want to die? you may have Trouble Sitting Still Disorder

[Spectrum (Autism Research News) @Spectrum]

Many #autism researchers have never met an #autistic person. That needs to change for the sake of the science — opinion. https://t.co/sGwYwCbyDD

[Dean Beadle @deanbeadleuk]

Delighted that #AlanTuring has been named the 'Greatest Person of the 20th Century'. He's widely believed to have been autistic.
I bet I'm not the only #actuallyautistic who is feeling ecstatic about this today.
