Behaviorist education is ableist education.https://t.co/l9tsUANveY— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 25, 2022

We define kids’ identities through the deficit & medical models, gloss over the structural problems they face, and then tell them to get some grit and growth mindset. This is effectively gaslighting, an attempt to “overwrite another person’s reality“.https://t.co/l9tsUANveY— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 25, 2022

We turn schools into hell for neurodivergent people and then feed us to the pipeline.https://t.co/l9tsUAvUnq— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 25, 2022

No schools to prison pipeline eh? Exclusions don’t harm? Exclusions don’t link to youth justice or criminal justice outcomes? SEND, mental health & health needs aren’t a factor? Behaviour. Is. Communication. @educationgovuk @nadhimzahawi https://t.co/TdBiMh8047— Square Peg (@teamsquarepeg) June 25, 2022

Any links evidenced between impact of social services involvement, criminalisation via attendance policy & behaviour policy? Our families know. We can tell you how this plays out. We understand the Intersectionality. No one is listening. @educationgovuk just want a bigger stick.— Square Peg (@teamsquarepeg) June 25, 2022

Shocking indeed! https://t.co/WUpdEoAWmm— Neuroteachers (@neuroteachers) June 25, 2022

Came here to say the same. Wish it were shocking.— George Watts (@autgeek) June 25, 2022

On bodily autonomy.https://t.co/CEeGMaKjq5— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 25, 2022

Had a LONG conversation with a neurotypical person I know, with me explaining in detail the plight of autistic people. The whole thing. Prejudice, social issues, health issues, S10k, AS, ABA, mortality, finance, etc. Ended with the person in shock, and me in tears.— The Autistic Writer (@Autist_Writer) June 24, 2022

Starting a thread here of #Disability organizations that have posted statements regarding the overturning of #RoeVWade today. #DisabledAndProChoice #DisabilityCoalition First, @AAPD: https://t.co/YBYJEpwxy5— Aly McKnight (@alymcknight) June 24, 2022

Abortion is about bodily autonomy - a main tenet of disability rights. Today’s dangerous decision by the Court means all of us now have less autonomy over our own bodies and our own lives.Join us today: https://t.co/WE8lKKGCWh pic.twitter.com/ELiAPJrLeA— Be a Hero (@BeaHero) June 24, 2022

Today's SCOTUS decision poses a grave threat to the bodily autonomy, self-determination, and well-being of all those not explicitly protected by the Constitution as it was written over 200 years ago that goes far beyond access to legal abortion. https://t.co/XUuTGmRD27— Little Lobbyists (@LittleLobbyists) June 24, 2022

Some disabled people are at high risk of death during pregnancy or may need to obtain an abortion for a wanted pregnancy due to health complications. No 1 should have to jump through hoops to save their life, that’s why the #DisabledAndProChoice Coalition will continue fighting— Leslie Templeton (@Somesaylezzels) June 24, 2022

The intersection of racism and ableism add up to a higher risk of arrest, other forms of physical and mental harm, and even death for Black disabled people when they encounter police.— Public Defendering (@fodderyfodder) June 23, 2022

Criminal reform is racial justice advocacy, but it’s also advocacy for disability rights say Black ppl who due to social, economic and environmental factors, are more likely to struggle accessing mental-health care and less likely to receive formal diagnoses for disabilities.— Public Defendering (@fodderyfodder) June 23, 2022

I’m 25 years old and I’m watching myself lose my rights.That’s why @SabrinaTessEp and I founded the #DisabledAndProChoice coalition, to fight for everyones rights to access healthcare. Reach out if you want to include disabled voices in your organizing. #BansOffOurBodies— Leslie Templeton (@Somesaylezzels) June 24, 2022

ASAN condemns today’s ruling dismantling Roe v. Wade and its protections. We are disgusted that the Supreme Court has thrown out decades of settled law to attack bodily autonomy. Read more: https://t.co/zNHamkgPhf— Autistic Self Advocacy Network (@autselfadvocacy) June 24, 2022

The Supreme Court plays a critical role in interpreting and enforcing laws that affect people with disabilities. This decision will have dangerous ripple effects far beyond abortion, and we have grave concerns about its effects on people with disabilities.— Autistic Self Advocacy Network (@autselfadvocacy) June 24, 2022

Today's decision does not just threaten value systems and rights, like freedom of choice and self-determination. It will cause devastating (and in many cases, lethal) harm to far too many disabled people.Read our statement on today's decision:https://t.co/OMRziesTrE— AAPD (@AAPD) June 24, 2022

We are more likely to be sexually assaulted. Especially people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Some of us have complex medical conditions and pregnancy is dangerous #DisabledAndProChoice #RoeVsWade #Dobbs— Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (@DREDF) June 24, 2022

We are more likely to live in poverty and we are more likely to rely on the government for health care. Many of us are multiply marginalized #DisabledAndProChoice #RoeVsWade #Dobbs— Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (@DREDF) June 24, 2022

People with disabilities already face barriers to abortion and contraception: Sex ed is not accessible, health care is not accessible, transportation is not accessible, telehealth is not accessible #DisabledAndProChoice #RoeVsWade #Dobbs— Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (@DREDF) June 24, 2022

Disabled people have the right to self-determination and bodily autonomy. We have the right to make our own decisions. Our human rights include reproductive rights. Abortion rights are disability rights #DisabledAndProChoice #RoeVsWade #Dobbs— Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (@DREDF) June 24, 2022

We’re outraged by the Supreme Court’s decision issued today. We have the right to make decisions about our lives and bodies, including getting an abortion. We cannot wait for a future Supreme Court to reverse this – Congress must act to protect our rights. https://t.co/9t5r8LM8rf— Autistic Self Advocacy Network (@autselfadvocacy) June 24, 2022

We have to say this every time, but it bears repeating: you do not have to show up in-person at a rally or protest for your advocacy to matter. Especially now while we are still in a global pandemic. Your advocacy matters in any form that it takes, wherever & whenever it occurs.— Maria Town (@maria_m_town) June 24, 2022

Today’s Dobbs decision attacks core US values - freedom of choice & freedom from government interference.This decision threatens the health & safety of disabled people. We must do all we can to preserve bodily autonomy & prevent further harm.https://t.co/D9PNHB0fTw #SCOTUS— Maria Town (@maria_m_town) June 24, 2022

All disabled people deserve the autonomy and freedom to make the decisions best for ourselves and our lives: about our health care, our families, and how we want to live. Today's Supreme Court decision will rob so many of self-determination. That is devastating.— AAPD (@AAPD) June 24, 2022

It's my first byline for NYT where I drop "Dr." from my name & introduce the honorific "Cy." Why not an honorific for disabled reality?So grateful to poet @canesejarboe whose poem gives this essay company.
