Q1: Do you relate to the idea of autistic inertia, or monotropism? Do you feel like you experience it in your life? If so, how? #AutChat— #AutChat mod (@autchatmod) October 9, 2022

'It Will Get Easier'. When children are unhappy at school& reluctant to go, it's often called anxiety. The child's emotions are assumed to be the problem. The work of parents and professionals is to change how they feel. Here's the problem with that. (with @_MissingTheMark)1/ pic.twitter.com/XYlgQanXVK— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 10, 2022

If we saw their unhappiness as a product of the system, then maybe we'd direct our interventions there. We'd do fewer relaxation exercises & instead make schools places that children love. We'd stop thinking we must force them to go & focus on making schools fit for children.17/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 10, 2022

Writer George M. Johnson's book, "All Boys Aren't Blue," is the second-most banned in the United States, with bans in 29 school districts. It is a young adult memoir about their experience growing up Black and queer in America.https://t.co/pADNkwe4Ei— HuffPost Queer Voices (@huffpostqueer) October 12, 2022

For the past year, there have been constant Google alerts, messages on social media from people calling them a "pedophile or groomer," and other attempts to deny their story and the very existence of Black queer people everywhere.https://t.co/pADNkwe4Ei pic.twitter.com/SX5ObPFSx1— HuffPost Queer Voices (@huffpostqueer) October 12, 2022

"Unfortunately, my sexual experiences have been deemed 'an issue' — pornographic by some," writes Johnson. "To be clear, this book is for ages 14-18 and it contains truths that many of us have experienced and are healing from." https://t.co/pADNkwe4Ei pic.twitter.com/d4n046Db42— HuffPost Queer Voices (@huffpostqueer) October 12, 2022

I’m learning more ways of teaching folks about accepting that they may have a disability even if they don’t “look disabled.” I asked if they were in a job interview and told them you have X condition. Would they hire you or the person who doesn’t have it? That’s a disability.— Ola Ojewumi (@Olas_Truth) September 25, 2022

/5 Use visuals to support processing. These can provide a ‘hook’ (#Monotropism), reduce anxiety about meaning (Alexithymia https://t.co/ki3DDA0zDW - scroll to Emotions; Autistic Language Hypothesis), and reduce anxiety about taking time away from a special interest (#Monotropism)— lisa chapman (@CommonSenseSLT) October 9, 2022
