I don't believe that 'severe' or 'low fuctioning' #autism are actual things. Neither is 'Mild' autism and 'High fuctioning' isn't helpful because it doesn't describe needs and difficulties that autism causes. We are mech better off stating co-concurring diagnosis such as LD/ ID.

@darrengrimes Really? About 1 in 20 of the Uk population took a holiday in Turkey? I think you are making things up!

@autistic_xtian @livingedgeconf @churchofengland https://t.co/fciM5qMYds disability and inclusion. You can download a pdf.

@DirkGently_Bot No. It's only Wednesday. Another tricky day, admittedly.

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

@AutismFaithNet Can I add: don't assume autistic people are children, Do realise a majority are adults and need accommodation too?

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

Anyway, there is a chance to connect to the wider #disability / #neurodiversity community and #autism and #autistic are autistic friendly. Lack of numbers means there is less of other intersections too, but we can build for #AllAutistics now. Also connect with your spec ints.

I'm hoping to rebuild the #ActuallyAutistic community up on https://t.co/px5B37u2g2 You can find me @jimmyd
Post is worth the wait. Simple to use and so far non-toxic. Since there are less than 1/2 million users, traffic is calm and lots of cute pets!

@DancingRos48 @WhyDottoreHot @emanzi @RevJacquiLewis as a disabled non-church going Christian- this discrimination absolutely denies disabled people their rights. "Suffer not ____ to come to me" You're the one turning people away from God. It must end whether intentional or not. In other unrelated news- Church attendance falls!

@historytastic @PookyH 'Kinnetic' is becoming a more widely used term for ADHD. Kinnetic refers to how the mind works, not just the physical manifestation of hyperactitivity. A much better term IMHO

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

@AnnMemmott I hate academic referencing (doing of)

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

@Ord_Off Unfortunately Twitter itself is becoming an accessibility issue. I'm seeing the autistic and neurodivergent community leaving in droves, which is ironic, as Elon Is reputed to be autistic himself. Unchecked ablism and misinformation makes being present here untenable.

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

@Ord_Off Hi Rebecca and Dave. I think we need another way to follow you all. Twitter has just got too toxic for me. What's the best place to look for you?

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

Dear #ActuallyAutistic and other neurokin. This app is getting worse and worse. With the lifting of the misinformation ban, antivaxxers are being given a free pass. The ableism that comes with that means it isn't a safe place for #autistic people. Time to go. #autism.

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

and if you want help getting established on a new platform, I will be happy to do what I can.

@BiggMattWeaford Really?
"As in the past, therapies should aim to remediate the defining impairments of the condition, which include challenges communicating and establishing social relationships, and to reduce harmful and disruptive behaviors, such as head banging and tantrums"

[Jim @EdgySpirit]

@SNeurotypicals Is this before or after the banned accounts amnesty?

@BluesnJazzxx if the kids don't fit then you should get yourself a nice big cauldron.
