For #AutismAcceptanceDay, be aware that Autism Speaks does very little to support autistic people and their families, so you should support orgs run by autistic people themselves. Please read & share if you can. People need to know better!https://t.co/r8VscmpDuF #Neurodiversity pic.twitter.com/GXcpujAysJ— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) April 2, 2023

Being an #Autistic new parent an ongoing struggle I've had is the constant stopping and starting of tasks through the day. This is my #monotropism. Constant interruption & shifting my attention leads to anxiety, dysregulation, agitation, and brain overwhelm. Anyone else relate?— Emily Price (Lees) (@EmilioLees) April 1, 2023

#AutismAcceptanceMonth has begun! We recommend @autselfadvocacy's resources. Whether you're autistic, or also because "Lots of people don’t know they are autistic. Some allies might actually be autistic, & you might be one of those people." Please share! https://t.co/EoZPym4qel— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) April 1, 2023

One of the most important things you can do this #AutismAcceptanceMonth is to listen to the voices of Autistic people. To help you along, I will be recommending a book written by an Autistic person each day of April.🧵 below.#AutismAcceptanceMonth2023 #Autism #AutismBooks— The Autism Books by Autistic Authors Project (@AutisticBooks) March 31, 2023

"They tell the parent to intentionally frustrate the autistic person while “waiting and looking expectantly for the child to indicate what they want or need” – apparently forgetting that this child is autistic and will probably wonder why the parent stopped..." @AutSciPerson https://t.co/TsbYddupCk— Elaine Mcgreevy (@ElaineMcgreevy) April 1, 2023

Autism acceptance month is here. We updated our piece on “Navigating Autism Acceptance Month & Autism Myths”. We explain how to be a better ally during this month that many autistic people feel we have to hide away to avoid painful misinformation. https://t.co/ehNmZpx7bk— Stimpunks Foundation (@stimpunks) April 1, 2023
