We can interpret a behaviour but we might not be right – we can make an assumption about what we THINK is being communicated but there could be numerous reasons. Sometimes we might be right. Not all behaviour is communicative or intentional. https://t.co/gHfXa4lBTu— Emily Lees (she/her) (@EmilioLees) June 20, 2022

Every time I hear an educator or ‘specialist’ say, “behaviour is communication”, this article and the footage included is what I think about.

https://t.co/FKN41hCxUa gives some ideas on quality of life for us, as defined by us rather than by 'stakeholders' with their own competing interests in making us behave in ways personally pleasing to them.— Ann Memmott PGC🌈 (They/she) (@AnnMemmott) June 20, 2022

Emotional bids are the pixels of relationship communications. This list is much about recognizing and meeting some common neurodivergent emotional bids in relationships, thus the phrase “love languages”.https://t.co/rAQKpIUCcG— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) June 20, 2022

You can't advance the rights of autistic people very far without also dealing with things that affect ADHDers, dyslexic people, dyspraxic people, people with learning disabilities and so on.Neurodiversity is an absolutely key concept for autistic rights.https://t.co/d0YifAxQo4— Oolong 🍉 (@MxOolong) June 20, 2022

Classic poorly-framed article on #autism and tech. This bot didn't "discover" that #autistic people "can't detect emotion," which is a harmful myth. See @milton_damian's and @Noahsasson's work on the "double empathy" problem. https://t.co/x9YmkaxMFZ— Steve Silberman (@stevesilberman) June 19, 2022

If you want to know the links between the Big Lie and autism quackery: back in the day, @DrOz pushed tons of anti-vaxx bullshit, had Robert Kennedy Jr AND Jenny McCarthy on his show and said he wished there was a cure for autism. https://t.co/icSKgGhMd9— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 20, 2022

I feel like a lot of autistic ppl learn scripts because most of NT communication is scripted and we’re just trying to live in that world w/o punishment. I’m not sure WE are innately fond of scripting, like ppl seem to think.— Born Borg (@iputahexonyou) June 20, 2022
