Lovely to meet some wonderful people at @TheAutismShow yesterday. (Photograph of @AcceptApproach speaking to a large room of people)

I have spent the last few hours trying to find the words and am not there yet. But to those in this, you are unimaginably brave and I hope that in time you will find a sense of safety and peace.

I have spent the last year making this. It has been a grueling time. Hopefully, it was worth it - to give autistic voices some exposure we never usually get...

@ProfLAppleby @RosyPosy_kitteh As long as the narratives embedded in behaviourism persist, nothing will change. Many clinicians continue to believe that they need to 'discourage' self-harm as a form of unwanted behaviour through external consequences.

I don’t need to overcome my disability.
You need to overcome your ableism.

Tonight I am tired. I went to my first ever pride, which was not accessible to me so I only lasted an hour. Unfortunately, this seems to be an experience many autistic people face at pride events. Sending love to you all right now 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️

Money doesn’t buy happiness but it does buy shelter, food, leisure, clothes, education, therapy, medication, health care, heating, internet, transport and many many more things. The only people who say it makes no difference are the people who have it.

Are they ‘not engaging’ or do you not know how to engage with them?

Election day today includes election of police & crime commissioners; it might be worth checking with your local #pcc what their views are on SIM /#StopSIM before voting.
