In Nigeria, people often use words like “olodo” and “mumu” to describe people who may actually be showing signs of neurodivergent conditions.
Awareness begins with recognising that these labels come from ignorance, not understanding.

Our #ActuallyAutistic experience of the world is different to that of non autistic folk. Our experience of pain can be vastly different & overwhelming. Some smells can completely overtake my brain so I can barely function. We are #DifferentNotDisordered #AutismAcceptanceMonth
#AutismAcceptanceMonth Autism / Autistic are neutral words. They aren't bad or shameful, but neither do they mean I've a 'superpower'. I'm autistic and that means my brain works a bit differently to non autistic brains. #DifferentNotDisordered
A brilliant session of active learning for staff helping us to understand issues of working memory for students with dyslexia @gordonstoun Inset #DifferentNotDisordered
A superb start to @gordonstoun INSET. Colin Foley from @ADHDFoundation kicks off a day focusing on supporting our neurodiverse students. #DifferentNotDisordered
As a #autistic person I used to struggle to find clothes that meet my sensory needs in a work environment, which can be a barrier to employment. However, over the years I have picked up some cool tips on how to dress smart but stay regulated.

@your_goblin_mom @Sia @AmyCMason @bronaghwaugh @leslieodomjr @maddieziegler Autistic person here. Autism isn’t a disability, it’s a difference. I LOATHE the term ‘autism spectrum disorder’, because it’s so negative. Autistic people simply run a different operating system. ‘Disorder’ implies autistic people need fixing - WE DO NOT! #DifferentNotDisordered
@MxOolong “Unwanted behaviour” - the only kind of behaviour which is “unwanted” is that which causes harm to either herself or someone else. It’s very sad there are people out there who view creativity as something which is unwanted and needs correction. #DifferentNotDisordered
@MxOolong We need to stop labelling those on the spectrum as ‘disordered’*. Perhaps the ‘D’ should stand for ‘Difference(s)’…? #DifferentNotDisordered
*That said, you should see the state of my room! But then I have dyspraxia too…
