I see no good reason for people to be hateful regarding gender nonconformity. A trans person is not harming you. A non-binary person has nothing to do with your gender. Everyone should be treated with fairness and respect. NO ONE SHOULD BE SUFFERING FOR THEIR GENDER IDENTITY.— neurodelicious 🌈🍯✨ (@GummiPies) June 16, 2022

"A Luddite pedagogy is a pedagogy of subversion and transgression. It is a pedagogy of disobedience and dismantling. It is a pedagogy of refusal and of care...Let us be Luddites, not pigeons." https://t.co/LYZmPRWN44— Charles Logan (@charleswlogan) June 16, 2022

"How do we shift the [ed-tech] imaginary again? And just as importantly, of course, how do we shift the reality? How do we design and adopt ed-tech that does not harm users?" https://t.co/bE5AdQqdDZ— Charles Logan (@charleswlogan) June 16, 2022

I'll be revisiting The Hack Education archives (https://t.co/HEL6IdGUfr) as long as they're available, and I'm excited to read Watters' new work on her blog, but for now, I'm dwelling on two keynotes she delivered in the summer of 2020.— Charles Logan (@charleswlogan) June 16, 2022

I was hard at work becoming a Google-certified teacher when I first read @audreywatters. Her words knocked me off course in the best possible way. I want to share my gratitude for her criticism and acknowledge the profound effect she had (and has) on how I think about ed-tech. 🧵— Charles Logan (@charleswlogan) June 16, 2022

I wish our area of research was a happier one. It’s so depressing every time I present our data 😢@Autistic_Doc #AutisticHealth— Mary Doherty 🇺🇦 (@AutisticDoctor) June 16, 2022

More on why increased autism diagnoses matter: Participants in a study of late-diagnosed autistic women believed that “if they had been diagnosed in childhood, they would have coped better with dangerous situations they had encountered during their lives.”https://t.co/QDLyUlrQbV— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) June 16, 2022

Go read Watters' latest book, Teaching Machines: The History of Personalized Learning (https://t.co/fgwq9WtNXp). I wrote a reading guide for it, and I worked with @dankrutka and @mariekheath to develop an Inquiry Design Model lesson for @CivicsOfTech. https://t.co/HmH4E6x2I9— Charles Logan (@charleswlogan) June 16, 2022

One of the things about autism research having done so little of real use for so long is that there's now this whole pile of really upsetting research to get through - before we start getting a lot of really positive results making use of what we're finding now to really help us. https://t.co/RkwkWeruDC— Oolong 🍉 (@MxOolong) June 16, 2022

I had a severe panic attack about my exams and my mum just sent me ‘Mysteries, Yes’ by Mary Oliver and it brought me BACK. May it bring solace in some way here, too 🌿 pic.twitter.com/i87HsEBLaL— Dara McAnulty (@NaturalistDara) June 16, 2022

Thinking a lot about how the tone of 'care', which has been branded through individuals who are operating in service of others is being used against people who do care very much, so much in fact that they cannot obey the genteel laws of 'care'.— Liz Jackson (@elizejackson) June 16, 2022

Trans and autistic media misinformation experiences are eerily similar these days. (Not a coincidence - most autistics are queer and many trans) Solidarity is necessary to fight this. We all need to demand better for all. https://t.co/Yx4w0b6iKS— fun facts with lulu (@FunFactsLulu) June 16, 2022

Here is another example of 'Inclusive Design', which is a disability-focused methodology, being expanded to another form of diversity, only to exclude disability. This article on "Queering Public Spaces" does not mention disability once, but gets an inclusive design headline. https://t.co/8BeQJ8sGUY— Liz Jackson (@elizejackson) June 16, 2022

Disabled people talk about our exclusion from "diversity" all the time. Interesting trend IDed here—contributions of Disabled thinkers & designers coopted and, thru erasure of their origins, misappropriated by other marginalized groups. To which lots of Disabled people belong. https://t.co/eW73YVfEbd— mary g 🌈 (@extravaganster) June 16, 2022

I have never heard of "bricolage thinker" but I bet I am one. I'll check the glossary! 😊👍— Dr Becci Neurodivergent Coach @YourQBCoach (@chasing_ling) June 14, 2022

How allistic people are taught to accommodate themselves vs. autistic people, a thread:My allistic family member heard an audible high-pitched whine."That whine is really bothering me, isn't that bothering you?" he asked me.1/9— AutisticSciencePerson, MSc (@AutSciPerson) June 16, 2022

Having a panic attack, meltdown, or shutdown is tough in its own right, but having one dysregulating event like this makes another more likely for a while afterward.This means that after a panic attack, meltdown, or shutdown you may be vulnerable still even if you don't feel it— Structured Success (@StructuredSucc) June 13, 2022

@clare_amy_ @jenni_niederer the Stimpunks website is worth a look. Lots of quality topics and links.— Abe Moore (@Arbay38) June 13, 2022

Something that really bothers me is the false narrative that disabled people are being “negative” whenever we speak our truth.If some of the ableds telling us to “be more positive” saw what we go through, they’d realize that we’re more optimistic than they could EVER imagine.— Miss Kelly, M.S. Ed (& Mikka!) 🐕‍🦺♿️ See📌 (@AuTeacher) June 15, 2022

I wrote about why @Lizzo's apology matters, how ableism pervades our entire language, but also, why her apology and, more importantly, her action are a reason to be optimistic. https://t.co/rQJGUtInfK— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 15, 2022

This is the CO2 monitor I was already planning to get and would recommend to others for ventilation testing (though it should be public!). Glad to be alerted of a major discount, and acknowledging my privilege here in being able to take advantage of these savings on no notice. https://t.co/SPfnoWjfbi— Sage (@sagetoko) June 15, 2022

I suppose its a natural result of the spikiness of a typical autistic profile - things can vary so much, often in opposite directions. But if you find another autistic person that fits, it's brilliant.— Pete Wharmby (@commaficionado) June 15, 2022

The NYT Magazine piece on trans youth and the WPATH SOC8 shows something in great detail: the medical establishment is incredibly politically naive—and so is everyone who deliberately frames trans youth through the lens of medicine (thread):— Jules Gill-Peterson (@gp_jls) June 15, 2022

I love my autistic therapist. For the first time, like ever, I don’t feel I have to explain things. I just feel understood. 🥹— Emily♡ (@ItsEmilyKaty) June 15, 2022
