I reread the brilliant “Re-thinking things through an Autistic filter” every time I need self-reaffirmation. Thank you for writing this @OutFoxgloved autistrhi.com/2016/04/12/re-…

“Say you you’ll remember me Standing in my red suit Smiling in my black boots yeah” Would love to hear @taylorswift13 sing this Xmas version of Wildest Dreams! 🙏🏼 “When you see me in hindsight On the sleigh on a cold night...” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvt9-a…
Rule not exception. “Easier” to live with the trauma you have than to allow anyone to dive in and multiply it.

Oh my ❤️I’m doing a quiet weep in ASDA 🤭thank you so much xXx 💐
From a young girl who struggled to fit in at school feeling isolated in the societal expectations of what it meant to be a girl & then a woman with Aspergers. Her bravery inspired me to find my own #journey and #voice so thank you @CarlyJonesMBE for standing up to be heard🥳

As one of the people who will be unable to walk, work or even get out of bed if my meds run out, I'm looking forward to hearing from the leave voters how they plan on feeding my kids and keeping a roof over our heads!
I just don’t think we’ve grasped how deranged this all is. A government minister has admitted that we might suffer medicine shortages in 11 weeks, and insists that we must go ahead with them in the name of democracy.

So yesterday, I was doing an orientation for our new teen interns and we ended up talking about mental health in men (they're all boys) There were a lot of dismissive 'ugh emotions?' remarks and so I asked them if any of them knew Etika

Also the reason why ppl go to great, painful, sometimes dangerous lengths to mask their disabilities - the public assumption that it eliminates any/all value you have 💔
Replying to @DrFrancesRyan
When non-disabled ppl say ‘I can’t see you as disabled. You’re incredible!’ it isn’t a compliment. What you’re saying is that disability and achievement are mutually exclusive. You’re saying disability is negative and you’re respecting someone more by not labelling them it. 3/?

Despite the wickedness in the world, today has also been an utterly amazing day for wonderful, astute, intelligent ‘counter-fucktard’ brilliance. Here’s just one such example.

Sorry just got to retweet this again. People need to understand this. WE INSTINCTIVELY ATTRACT OUR TRIBE. We’re doing it right, we are not defective, my life makes as much sense as anyone else’s 💛
Here is the blog version of my @autscape talk, which I just gave this morning. It is about identity and intersections and acceptance and validation. link.medium.com/nBRlWwxw7Y #ActuallyAutistic #Autscape

#ActuallyAutistic thread of the year. @RyanHendry94 you’re bang on the money, well done sir. (There, I get idioms too.)
I think it’s safe to say that, at the moment, @GretaThunberg is the world’s most prominent Autistic Person at this current point in time. And the treatment she is currently receiving from certain sections of society is very telling, as to how Autism is still perceived. (Thread)

Hi there little one, nice drawing. I’m looking at it from NE Lincolnshire, England.
I am teaching my 6 year old about internet safety. Please retweet this and comment with your location. Let's show her how far her picture can get. Starting now....

Sweeping generalisations about certain groups of people is called prejudice. Yet that’s what most autism awareness training does and it’s called education. ‘Most men think X.’ ‘Most autistics feel X.’ How is it okay to be offended by one but not the other? 🤷🏻‍♀️
FOI needed!!!
