[Rebekah Kintzinger @generationbexx]

Asking Autistic and ND children these questions (and more than once because of alexithymia and other expressive difficulty) is so critical to enhancing their learning! As well as enabling their own self advocacy, and this should be something teachers and parents are focused on!

[Housing through an Autism Lens @Housinglens]

We're raising awareness and acceptance! Team member @MattJDever did a terrific job sharing insights about the barriers to housing for Autistic adults on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day Radio program yesterday. Here's part of that segment. #WAAD2021

[Haley Moss @haleymossart]

Things to avoid saying during #AutismAcceptanceMonth, a thread:

“We’re all on the spectrum.”

I know you’re trying hard to relate, but no, we’re not. Autistic people each have unique experiences, challenges, and skills.

No data yet in Canada, but we saw major reports from UK and US this week on deaths from COVID during first wave for ppl w developmental disabilities. At a first glance, both reports garnered media attention but what do we do after we see the headlines?

I’ve personally been calling out CASDA to do exactly this. So I decided to risk the angst of other #ActuallyAutistic folk who can find it hard to trust parent-led organizations & see what I could do to provide an Autistic lens to @ASDalliance

[Autism Alliance of Canada @AllianceAutism]

If you are an organization, we invite you to participate in this @RWAworks funded survey to help inform us of the gaps in federal and provincial employment support for Autistic Canadians. #disabilityemployment #inclusiveemployment
