Read the comment thread to see a real battle over "who owns the language" https://t.co/OiFJJeFUwx— Ira Socol (@irasocol) June 16, 2022

This is so important. The "People-First Language" favored in North American Special Education demeans, and is almost never used by those who live with disabilities. https://t.co/vHewz8SnQl— Ira Socol (@irasocol) June 16, 2022

I keep saying this:disabled people should be *leading* your public service design & delivery teams.Not afterthoughts, or checkboxes.Leading. the. team.— human barometer, M.M. (@laurenancona) June 15, 2022

I've long been aware that I feel like I'm "always doing something wrong". I see this as part of my being #ActuallyAutistic . How many trillions of annoyed responses & disapproving looks did I receive as a child? It made me feel as if I wasn't good enough, not lovable, annoying. https://t.co/IboKHOZeWE— stray autistic cat in an intense world (@obrerx) June 15, 2022

Went to my banking app to approve a payment for a swimming session, immediately forgot why I opened the app, and ended up sorting and paying my business and personal taxes for the year instead.This is ADHD.— ADHD Designer (@ADHDdesigner) June 15, 2022

Shoutout to those of us who are trying so hard to mask our neurodivergence, and are so fearful of being seen as we are, that we hide behind text messages and social media to curate our vulnerability instead of just allowing ourselves to be held in real space and time.— Sam Dylan Finch (@samdylanfinch) June 15, 2022

The thing is…Ableism is so intricately linked with racism that, I mean, hey…you can ignore it if you want to…😬— Imani Barbarin, MAGC | Crutches&Spice ♿️ (@Imani_Barbarin) June 14, 2022

It's so difficult to not go overboard on a relatively good chronic illness day.It feels like my one chance to get anything done, so I feel like I have to do it all.— Joanna No Banana (@JoannaNoBanana) June 15, 2022

It seems that many people have neither the bandwidth nor the safety required to imagine their boundaries, let alone enforce them. 1/4— Ellis Sardorian they/them (@writworks) June 14, 2022

Mindfulness often appears alongside toxic positivity and other forms of invalidation that dismiss the realities of chronic illness and disability. And not everyone knows they’re being harmed by these things, or how they’re being done, right away. I didn’t know for a long time.— Alana Saltz (@alanasaltz) June 15, 2022

Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a 3rd round of free at-home tests. Older adults and disabled people who need help ordering and using COVID-19 tests and accessing antivirals can contact the Disability Information and Access Line: https://t.co/0ao1GAbPa2— Autistic Self Advocacy Network (@autselfadvocacy) June 15, 2022

It sucks that so many folks slipped through the cracks when we were younger but whenever I see a thread on someone who got their ADHD or autism dx (or realized self-ID)in adulthood with all the “welcome” and “we are glad you’re in the community” comments my heart grows 3 sizes 🥰— Dr. Amy, Psy.D. (@DrAmyPsyD) June 15, 2022

Therapy when you're chronically ill.CBT: You're wrong for being upset about your oppression and neglected pain. You're overreacting. Stop it.Mindfulness: You can't control the future. Be in the present. Oh, you're in pain 24/7 INCLUDING the present? Uh...take a deep breath?— Alana Saltz (@alanasaltz) June 15, 2022

I understand that not everyone agrees, but I think CBT is a broken modality that is rooted in harm and invalidation. I speak from a great deal of experience. No one will change my mind about that and I advocate for better, more inclusive and informed treatment modalities for us.— Alana Saltz (@alanasaltz) June 15, 2022

Had to leave pride a bit early. Knee started giving out so hard to unfold the cane, then came the sensory overload But omg that was fun— Tabbs (she/her)🏳️‍⚧️🖖 (@tabbythagames) June 12, 2022

How do we begin to see ourselves as architects, as designers, of a complex User Experience for our children? How do we learn to become effective builders of our children’s User Interface? https://t.co/on1nl3fMP4— Ira Socol (@irasocol) June 13, 2022
