days without biphobic nonsense: 0

[No Nonsense Neurodivergent @NoNonsenseND]

Sensory sensitivities, routines, ND communication, stims etc are not preferences.

They are needs.

[The Autistic Coach @AutisticCoach_]

Autism is a disability.

That's it.

That's the tweet.

"you're obsessed with being Autistic"

i know right? it's almost like it impacts every part of my life or something

[Callum Stephen (He/Him) @AutisticCallum_]

Is eye-rolling the most autistic reaction ever? I know eye-rolling isn’t exclusive to autistic people, but many of us roll our eyes more often than most. I’m always rolling my eyes. If I hear rubbish from anyone, my eyes automatically roll. I can’t help it. I mean no disrespect.

[Hi im Paris 🫠 @parispoptart]

does anyone else ever feel hopeless because you know you’ll never be able to function normally, look the way you want to, and will never be mentally normal or is it just me

[No Nonsense Neurodivergent @NoNonsenseND]

It's funny because it's true

“You need to try harder.”
“Don’t be lazy.”
“Nobody likes doing that stuff.”
“Just make a plan & stick to it.”
“Set a reminder in your phone.”
“It’s not that difficult. Grow up.”

Those with #ADHD know how it feels to struggle with basic habits that seem “easy” to other people 😞

Me: don't call people the r word. It's ableist and not cool

Society: okay I'll call them a moron

Me: no, that's also ableist and not okay

Society: well how am I meant to insult people based on their cognitive skills and perceived intellect

Me: you're not. That's the point.

“You don’t look disabled” is not a compliment.

[Danny Walter 🧸 @AjeboDanny]

I find it manipulative that our angry side is always seen as our "true colors" as if when we are happy and being kind, we were being fake.

[Gregory Mansfield @GHMansfield]

“You have special needs.”
“You’re not disabled. You’re differently abled.”
“Don’t say disabled. Say handicapable.”

Euphemisms for “disabled” are the product of society’s discomfort with and devaluation of disabled
people.
Euphemisms are ableism.
