@commaficionado Shattner promoted A$/DNA tests for prenatal screening; and we all explained our side. He cyber bullied me for days. I haven’t done twitter all year because of it. It was a pile of “not all autistics hate ABA or A$ or have good enough brains to be born!” Done in A$ sound bytes.

.@usconsmontreal hi, you reached out to my gf Michelle Heneghan about her emergency visa application, which was backed by a letter of support from Senator Rosen's office and approved a week ago.

@autistictic #PunishedForBeingAutistic
‘Stop picking’
‘If you don’t wear jeans, you don’t get any clothes at all’
‘You’re not allowed to be depressed. We gave you everything’
‘It’s not what you say that keeps you grounded, it’s how you say it’
‘Rude! Wash your mouth out with soap now!’

@autistictic When it came out that my aunt covered up long term bullying by my cousin, she asked: “What about what you did to him?”
What?- she said I didn’t share when babies and was weird always. He did his torture in high school?!? She then called me the R word. #PunishedForBeingAutistic

@autistictic @Rectitude20 And no one owes you their diagnosis in public. Do you tell people your medical history when you meet? Why would adult autistic people owe you this autistic census gatekeeper information? #ActuallyAutistic and 35 years old. We exist. Jeepers.

Imma rant tweet about this later:

If you want autistic kids to better develop their social skills, give them better opportunities to naturally develop them.

I get so annoyed.

Let. Autistic. Kids. Play.
You are interrupting important developmental processes.

@atypicalcaitlin It makes all the kids feel less need to repress it themselves. Funny thing: this is something we’ve done since our teens together and we only found out any of us are autistic this year. ❤️

[OnTheAuts @OnTheAuts]

@atypicalcaitlin My husband and I echolaliate together. It is so fun. We won’t notice till we are about 5 minutes into playing with a phrase and then riffing off the other person’s way of saying it. We look like loons in the store, our car..., but our 4 aut kids grow up confident with it so yay!

@atypicalcaitlin @AutistMakingWay What is funny, I have such chronic pain that I have only felt high like 3 times in my life. The medicine does it’s job of quieting the pain but that’s all I get. My husband has no problem getting all the fun out of the same dose/same meds. For some it is fun, me it’s all meds. ❤️

@AutistMakingWay @atypicalcaitlin 2- it helps me function, relieves asthma, pain, and overstimulation symptoms. But yes, 40+% among college students seems inflated or biased towards liberal states. In other places, many may report at <15%.

[OnTheAuts @OnTheAuts]

@AutistMakingWay @atypicalcaitlin In Vegas here, it’s 100% legal and I assume the use % among college students is upwards of 70% at least once this year. Out here it is used instead of alcohol often and is wonderful for that :) I have smoked daily for 12 years.

@atypicalcaitlin 3- I think it would be good for you so on days you run face first into a ptsd trigger or a meltdown or shutdown from stress, you can not have to fear the academic grades bad outcome; which just WORSENS anxiety and prolongs the burnout and meltdowns and shutdowns. 😢

[OnTheAuts @OnTheAuts]

@atypicalcaitlin 2- my most recent time back to school was 2016 while pregnant. I was so burntout, I COULDN’T READ for myself by the end. Hubby had to read to me. I couldn’t write. I needed less rigid time limits.
