What do you do to feel comforted before and at bedtime? What is your ritual #askadhd #autisticcommunity #neurodivergent because falling asleep can be so hard. I hear every teenie tiny noise, hate the dark, and my body temp goes all over the place.— Neurodivergent | Jean Grey Rising (@Jeangreyrising) June 24, 2022

Sameness-based notions of fairness will always exclude neurodivergent and disabled students.Needs-based fairness and toolbelt theory are necessary to including us.https://t.co/XVLurWHviB— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 24, 2022

Autistic Women Are Experiencing A Mental Health Crisis | Glamour UK https://t.co/ZQIvAuxyVT— Lauren C. (@Lau_Cob_) June 24, 2022

My autism is largely internally presenting and my meltdowns are largely internalised too. In the last year or so they've started leaking out into my external world I'm still getting used to how hijacked I feel afterwards. The explosive lack of self-control is hard to accept. https://t.co/qOUgmXwVYn— Helen, reigning queen of tangential tweets 👑 (@HopeGraceFury) June 23, 2022

TW self-harmI haven't really seen other autistic folks talk about this & I'm still working on how to express this but my meltdowns can involve minor acts of self-harm. I never want anyone to worry about me but it is worrying to me tbh.🫂 to anyone else who has similar meltdowns— Helen, reigning queen of tangential tweets 👑 (@HopeGraceFury) June 23, 2022

I think the reason it worries me is that I can see how impulsive I am during an externalised meltdown ~ like my shields, armour, protective instincts all just evaporate into nothing. It's like a tornado just rips through my mind without enough warning for me to make it to shelter— Helen, reigning queen of tangential tweets 👑 (@HopeGraceFury) June 23, 2022

What happens if trans people lose the “trans debate”?— Katelyn Burns (@transscribe) June 22, 2022

Hard pill to swallow:Autism didn't steal your child's potential. Your own ableism stole *your* potential to be the loving and supportive parent they need. Unpack that anti Autistic mindset. Do it for your kid. Do it for their community. Do it for yourself. Just get it done.— Parenting Through The Fog (@FoggyParent) June 23, 2022

“Resilience” is a coping strategy, not a virtue. Celebrating resilience without interrogating the challenges, problems, and structural issues folks are routinely forced to confront runs the risk of idealizing the capacity to suffer.— Dr. CBS (@blackleftaf) June 22, 2022

Stop calling people who die of cancer losers. No matter how much of a fighter I am, I'm going to die. Not because I've 'lost the fight' but because metastatic breast cancer results in death. I loathe all the ridiculous war metaphors in health care.— Ceara (@CearaRickard) June 22, 2022

Hi neurotypicals. You don't need to hire a van to 'simulate' bring autistic in the most ridiculously minor and ineffectual way possible.Just talk to autistic people. We're here, and we want to tell you what it's like. You're just not listening. pic.twitter.com/9k5M0i9A8A— Pete Wharmby (@commaficionado) June 22, 2022

I wish neurotypical people knew how many 'scripts' autistic people have to use. I've had to learn the right way to smile, or respond to a 'how are you' in the 'right' way. Sometimes my mind goes blank and I forget a script, and I say strange things. It's hard— Hafsa Qureshi (@MsHafsaQureshi) June 22, 2022

He’s a 10, but he wants you to leave the house, visit a new location and make small talk with his friends.— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) June 23, 2022

Being infantilized as a visibly disabled person is more than just annoying. It can really harm a person’s sense of bodily autonomy and ability to advocate for themselves —because it can feel frivolous if no one treats you like a competent adult. Always assume competence.— ♿️ Alex 🤟🏻 (@DeafOn4Wheels) June 23, 2022
