"Research in Neurodiversity"?--a new journal "publishing studies that examine the lived experiences of neurodiverse individuals, promote inclusive practices, and showcase innovative approaches to education, employment, and support"? sciencedirect.com/journal/re… autism-relevant

As an autistic person, an important part of my self-confidence journey has been recognising that my perspective is just as important as other people’s and other people seeing something one way doesn’t mean I have to or that my perspective is incorrect or not valid if it differs.

In a world full of systems designed for neurotypical people, Autistic people don’t need to work on their resilience. Some are already hugely more resilient than their peers by just getting through the day. Our blog post explains more - bit.ly/AGNresil #Autism
ALT Please don’t say autistic people need to be more resilient.

Autistic people are often told they have a bad attitude when their attitude is fine, they simply: don’t tolerate discrimination; value ethics over hierarchy and conformity; dislike pretence; are honest; have succinct facial expressions; and/or have meltdowns when pushed too far.

Just waking up in the morning as an #ActuallyAutistic person is tiring. It requires more energy, thought, complex processes, and stress than it does for allistic people. THIS is exactly what contributes to #autism being a disability. It's also what people use to put us down.

36 journals are participating in a special issue on Neurodiversity. Submissions are due April 30th. It represents a variety of disciplines and neurodivergences. Good opportunity especially for neurodiversity and neurodivergent scholars and advocates.

It fascinates me why a non-Autistic, non-ADHD, non-expert would feel they can offer insightful commentary on the rise in diagnoses. On what basis could they assert Autism and ADHD are over-diagnosed? Fewer diagnoses in the past could simply mean they were under-diagnosed before.

Anti-semitism in any form is deplorable. In person. Online. Doesn't matter where. It's hate and it's unacceptable.

[Please note:
- Every (autistic) person is different and valid as they are.
- I do not speak for all autistic people; this thread is about my personal experiences.
- All perspectives are valid and it is perfectly fine if you don’t relate to the above.

TW: Misconceptions about autism normalised in training.
It's 2022 and I am halfway through a level 2 qualification in "Understanding #Autism" and then I see this crap written in the textbook.

Dear Neurotypicals, Autistic people get married and have children. If you have autistic children, you could be one of those autistic people who got married and had children.
Sincerely,
A late-diagnosed, married with child #ActuallyAutistic human

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.

You'd think disability and medicine would be fairly compatible, but health care is one of the most inaccessible things around. – at Leeds, England
