”World losing area of forest the size of the UK each year.”
We should of course be planting as many trees as possible. But equally important - and hardly ever mentioned - is to leave the existing ones standing and to leave the natural habitats intact. https://t.co/0EGDMZY7vf

Can someone's tone of voice (directed at you or not) send you into a panic/meltdown? #ActuallyAutistic #Autism #autistic

Why is it that so often when #ActuallyAutistic folks talk about the need for autistic-led training & research on autism, & centring our perspectives, some folks *assume* we mean this at the exclusion of all other expertise & perspectives when that's rarely what we mean at all?

Fantastic message shared by Glenys Jones from the brilliant @milton_damian 👍😎

@milton_damian @TeacherNikola This is so interesting. It is something that I have been aware of in my own thought patterns. I constantly analyse why I think what I think and I often challenge my internal bias which I believe has resulted in a greater degree of open mindedness. Although this could be biased 😂

Bit simplistic regarding monotropism, but is an editorial discussion piece and quite a useful one: https://t.co/c2H5hZN8zl

@deanbeadleuk My sons primary school used a timer in the shape of a bomb so the children had to race to get changed. Needless to say the pressure increased his anxiety & he could not cope with life at all. Took ages for them to listen & stop this ridiculous method, but the damage was done 😢

Autism was mansplained to my daughter yesterday, by an autism specialist,using the male brain theory. Apparently a testosterone surge at 12 wks gestation caused damage to the 2nd X chromosome, making it function like a Y. She is infact male...Apparently. #ActuallyAutistic

It is deaf awareness week!

Most of what I've seen so far is signing, so be aware that many deaf people can't sign because of oralism and hearing people depriving deaf people of this language. But as adults it costs £££ to learn.

It is really important for White Autistics to understand that the colour of your skin will always be seen before your disability/Autism. Yes, you & I may have the exact same diagnosis, but you still have your #WhitePrivilege & head start in the race 🏁🏎️. #BlackAutistics
