@cb_doge Autism Education is a dumpster fire. Lot’s of hot air but everyone prefers to double down on what isn’t working because they are too afraid to go against the establishment . We have a real solution. Get us some funding and we’ll make it happen.
@Spectrum Our mission includes creating a vocational school for minimally speaking autistic students. The key is finding where the speech break-down occurs and apply the correct intervention. Nothing is one-size-fits-all #autism#speech#educationreform#autismeducation
@sarah_j_d_34@ElaineMcgreevy Yes our nonprofit mission is to change the autism education system to a strength-based approach. The statistics show that it is failing-high suicide, bullying, and abuse stats-high unemployment.
@BillSpadea@GovMurphy Let’s fight for a change in autism education. Autism=90% unemployed/underemployed, 50% of 25-year-olds never held a paying job, 3 Xs the suicide rate, 60% reported PTSD symptoms, 2/3rds bullied, 80% women undiagnosed until after 18-9 out of 10 women victims of sexual violence=F
@AlicePhoenixAu@AutisticCoach_ The statistics show autistics have 3Xs the suicide rate, 2/3rds of autistics are victims of bullying, 9 out of 10 autistic women are victims of sexual violence, 60% of autistics reported symptoms of PTSD, 80% of women are diagnosed after 18, & 90% are unemployed or underemployed
@DanMarinoFdtn We also must acknowledge the stats showing a system that is failing autistics. 9 out of 10 autistic women are victims of sexual violence, 2/3rds of autistics have been bullied. And autistics have 3Xs the suicide rate. We must do better. Links to these studies on our website
@DanMarinoFdtn Acceptance is key but we are not there yet. These stats are low since they are of 8 year olds and 80% of autistic women are diagnosed after 18-years-old.
Important to change the way we speak about “sensory sensitivity” in autistics. We need to replace this with the more accurate term sensory pain. No person should have to endure pain during behavioral modification therapy ABA but many times this is what is happening. #truthbomb
The New York state legislature has reintroduced a bill that would stop sending any more New Yorkers to the Judge Rotenberg Center. If you are a resident of New York, give your legislators a call today about supporting Andre’s Law! #StopTheShock https://t.co/zkxZlkK4HG
@naomicfisher@ElaineMcgreevy Root cause and trauma-informed care is needed especially in Autism Education. It’s our mission to reimagine the entire system. More info at https://t.co/1bhQ08RpLk
@teamsquarepeg@ElaineMcgreevy That’s why #traumainformed care is so important in schools. Our mission is to bring trauma-informed care to Autism Education. Many autistics have been through trauma and continue to be retraumatized through behavioral interventions. More info at https://t.co/1bhQ08RpLk
