5/5 Now replace autism with other neurodivergence: ADHD, DLD, stammering, dyslexia. The same applies. Respecting epistemic humility is a huge step for many healthcare professionals, but one that needs to be taken— lisa chapman (@CommonSenseSLT) May 27, 2023

The most likely group to experience EDs are autistics. Usually sensory differences are blamed, but when your group has the least autonomy & agency & some of the highest levels of victimisation & pathologisation, sometimes the only thing you can control is what goes in your mouth https://t.co/rI6regjuMY— TheAutisticAdvocate (@KieranRose7) May 28, 2023

Autistic kids "only get one childhood, & they deserve properly qualified & properly experienced professional teams. Teams that consider autistic ways of communication, ethics, human rights, and potential harms very carefully indeed." @AnnMemmott, at TPGA:https://t.co/pRqnAweBfX— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) May 15, 2023

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.— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) May 13, 2023

As part of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek@CommonSenseSLT& I have been discussing what helps #Anxiety if you're #Neurodivergent, understanding your #identity, advocating for environmental accommodations & being part of a #community that understands & embraces differences can help. pic.twitter.com/1VOrsxcKTL— @Autistic Realms (@autisticrealms) May 17, 2023

https://t.co/z4jMYau1dB Neurodivergent people and the higher likelihood of physical difficulties (pain, hypermobility etc). So many teams fail to check for these in ways that lead to a proper answer in this population. The result, hellish lives. I can speak from experience here.— Ann Memmott PgC MA (She/They) (@AnnMemmott) May 24, 2023

My stance remains that no autistic child should be in ABA. https://t.co/0sA428pHY9— Shannon Des Roches Rosa (@shannonrosa) May 19, 2023

We need to get away from focusing on making children attend school as if that were equivalent with focusing on their well-being. But having said this, the alternative should center children themselves, not learning. 1/— Isabel Rodríguez 🥑 (@ecomentario) May 25, 2023

I really need people to understandMasking = suppressing/adjusting autistic traits to appear non-autisticMasking DOESN‘T mean appearing non-autistic.Masking is the ATTEMPT.Passing (as non-autistic) = ‚successful’ maskingMany autistics mask but remain observably autistic.— autistictic - #EndAutmisiaNow #StopTheShock (@autistictic) May 26, 2023

Emotional dysregulation is common in #ADHD. So is emotional impulsivity, due to impaired response inhibition. Stimuli happens, we respond. No pause in which to consider if it’s a good idea. What this means is we react with raw emotion. This is why we need help w/our brakes.— Jessica McCabe (@HowtoADHD) May 26, 2023

Ten easy things that might help autistic people in your life - a thread 🧵🧵🧵1. Take our sensory experiences seriously. Being overwhelmed by sensory stimuli is very real, from overpowering smells to the feeling of clothes or sound of engines idling.#autism #autistic— Pete Wharmby (@commaficionado) May 21, 2023

I've been thinking a lot about plain language as an accessibility practice. This can be particularly tough for academics who have been taught that plain language is not scholarly, as the author of this post notes. I think it is good to reconsider that ideahttps://t.co/HtK03GGoNE— Sarah Silverman (@sarahesilverman) May 24, 2023

I wish disability rights groups would stop focusing on things like corporate “inclusion” efforts and instead fight back against this mainstream wave of eugenics. We are fully losing on disability rights because we are continuing to die en masse. https://t.co/I6HlrKOXMU pic.twitter.com/e468omua5V— Dom Kelly (@the_tattooedjew) May 25, 2023

if work from home is bad for cities then maybe cities should be designed better? there’s no need to cage people up in frozen cubicles “for the city”I’m so confused about why I’m supposed to want to work in an office & deal with all that hassletime to adapt— auntie histamine (@laurenancona) May 25, 2023
