We need the country to come together for this lot like we did when we got Rage Against the Machine to Christmas number one

This argument has been debunked so many times and people are still pulling it out like a gotcha card. There are no resources! That’s the issue!

[Michelle Shipworth @MShipworth]

Over-diagnosis of autism is harming those with serious disabilities by sucking resources and attention from them.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at https://t.co/8XlteewbRp - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Unfortunately, my politics are rooted in a deep love for humanity and the exhausting belief that a better world is possible

As a person who gets excited reading what people choose for their epigraphs, I loved this! https://t.co/pom0L3XKBO

Sorry to say but Florence Given always had very superficial ‘political’ opinions. Her pivot is not at all surprising. I thought we’d learned from the #girlboss era

[Verso Books @VersoBooks]

Jodie Hare assesses how much of the earliest work on autism, neurodivergence and disability began from a position of prejudice and fear.

[Jodie Hare 🪼 @jodslouise]

Lovely to see Autism Is Not a Disease mentioned in this alongside some wonderful books! Thank you @BookRiot @cjconnorwrites

"Being diagnosed with autism at 26 was simultaneously a relieving and lonely experience...But there aren't many outlets for adults to talk about being neurodivergent..."

Thread for AAC awareness/acceptance month

Frustrations as an AAC user.

Although AAC has given me a voice and less anxiety and an ability to communicate.
It can also be incredibly frustrating being an AAC user.
And I wanted to write about that frustration.

(NEW!) Autism Is Not A Disease: The Politics of Neurodiversity, by @jodslouise

Neurodiversity is one of the most urgent political issues of our time. But society is still organised around neuronormativity, and autism is treated as a disease...

Imagine being sick enough to be in hospital as an inpatient and you find out that the people tasked with caring for your wellbeing see “finding work as a key goal of treatment.” What level of capitalist hellscape is this???

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

“Job advisers in hospitals to get mental health patients back to work”.

“It comes after the NHS started offering job coaching to some patients with depression, although only about 6 per cent of those referred attended.” Apparently it’s doctors fault for not being keen enough!
