So many educational conferences are so inaccessible to the teachers working with students who need progressive and innovative solutions the most. COVID has exacerbated those inequities.— Chanea (sha-nay) or The Madwoman in the Classroom (@heymrsbond) June 29, 2022

🔖New paper time! From @DrEilidh @DrMBotha and former MSc student Rebekah Cranney - a brief report on the potential relationship between masking, autistic community connectedness and wellbeing https://t.co/QnPT8eHLKt pic.twitter.com/14mNgeowkr— Stirling Autism Research (@StirAutism) June 29, 2022

The autistic experience of having a wardrobe full of clothes that you can’t wear, because they’re too tight, too loose or the wrong texture for your hypersensitive body. When you bought them, you thought they were not too bad and that you’d manage, but you were too optimistic...— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) June 29, 2022

@stimpunks could you help share this out I'm desperate in need of help— Mcnugs Baby ♿️ (@b_mcnugs) June 29, 2022

As a disabled creator who is expected to do a ridiculous quantity of my own promotion, conventions dropping mask mandates sends the message that my life matters less than someone else's comfort.— Seanan McGuire (@seananmcguire) June 29, 2022

The same message is being sent to disabled fans, who are less likely to be expected to attend these events for professional reasons. Conventions are discontinuing virtual programming, and it's too soon.— Seanan McGuire (@seananmcguire) June 29, 2022

Our keynote speakers are in a flipped format: giving our audience the ability to watch a pre-recorded exclusive video, then engage in a full one-hour live Q&A to get to the heart of reimagining education. #restorehumanityJuly 25-28, learn more at https://t.co/Ock93KK2NI pic.twitter.com/5McZITZ1vD— Human Restoration Project (@HumResPro) June 29, 2022

The dominant narrative is that virtual learning during the pandemic sucked. For many, it did. But, it also opened doors and windows of possibility for LOTS of kids. Maybe I am missing it, but I am not seeing that story being told.— Jon Becker (@jonbecker) June 28, 2022

I am talking about kids who love to learn, but hate going to school (for any number of reasons); kids with disabilities for whom movement is a challenge. Etc. These are equity issues and they should be documented.— Jon Becker (@jonbecker) June 28, 2022

That's a big part of @isbellHFh's and my book—the pandemic created a lot of incentive to expand access to students who could no longer be in the classroom; our next step must be to generalize those lessons to students who could never thrive in the classroom in the first place.— David A.

I strongly prefer autistic person.— AutisticSciencePerson, MSc (@AutSciPerson) June 28, 2022

I don’t mind if people say ‘person with autism’ from time to time but I loathe when people use it exclusively.It’s one thing to use multiple terms that mean the same thing. It’s entirely different to constantly try to separate me from my Autism because you think it’s shameful— Elora - Online 1 Room Schoolhouse (@1Schoolhouse) June 28, 2022

I shared the video here before, but here it is on the Monotropism site: why the response to the questionnaire was so huge.The easiest way to include subtitles (sorry I didn't have them when I first shared it) was to upload it to YouTube so it's up there.https://t.co/5w0t1lyudb— Oolong 🍉 (@MxOolong) June 28, 2022

Not #autistic as in videogame genius; autistic as in "can't play monster hunting games because feels too bad for the cool creatures and doesn't wanna hurt them"— fun facts with lulu (@FunFactsLulu) June 28, 2022

So, neurotypicals, when you ask me a question, it may take me a little while to process what you said before I respond... continuing to talk at me with additional information will only prolong this process, ensuring you wait longer. Don't try to fill the silence. Cheers. 😂— Pete Collins 🏳️‍🌈 (@petephilipcoll1) June 27, 2022

I wonder if the Autistic urge to ‘elope’ has something to do with sensory seeking, or leaving overwhelming environments???— Elora - Online 1 Room Schoolhouse (@1Schoolhouse) June 28, 2022

Both, but also burnout from masking (at least in my case). My past experiences with elopement are... extensive and should probably be recorded for posterity. We're talking full-on dissociative fugues in the most extreme cases! 😖— joni elena (@joni_elena) June 28, 2022

The autistic urge to befriend just one person in each environment, that person being a kindly social chameleon who is friends with everyone, approached you first, knows all the gossip, liberally shares info, and is grateful for your calm, logic, listening skills and loyalty.— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) June 28, 2022

Some people are afraid to consider that they, or their kids, might be Autistic. They’re afraid of what answering that question could unlock.Here’s some major POSITIVES in my life that have emerged after discovering I’m Autistic: 🧵— Elora - Online 1 Room Schoolhouse (@1Schoolhouse) June 28, 2022
