NEW: Writing: Why we need to change schools (right now) by @mcnutteduWe need to recognize that youth and educators are in crises – and that schools need to change. It’s no longer warning bells – we are in a state of emergency.https://t.co/eytoKWNWeh pic.twitter.com/jnosjtTOJO— Human Restoration Project (@HumResPro) June 27, 2023

And I've seen it. From my high school in the 70s to today from Vermont to San Francisco. People simply fail to understand why traditional school undermines kids, while hands-on/choice-driven schools build kids up— Ira Socol - looking for alternative media (@irasocol) June 29, 2023

"A way of teaching has grown up that treats people as if they were computers...based around the idea that we can load information up into short-term memory, then some of that will go into long-term memory...But that’s not how human beings work, & it’s not what the humanities do." https://t.co/MAiGHRpwcK— Human Restoration Project (@HumResPro) July 1, 2023

Wow, since becoming a founding editorial board member of @AutismAdulthood in ~2018 I have been proud to help shape its direction, have exceptionally cited and accessed papers (eg ableist language, burnout), & now witness AiA reach highest autism journal impact factor (its first)! https://t.co/1psdW9OmFW— Steven Kapp (@drstevenkapp) June 28, 2023

So proud to be involved with this wonderful journal, and congratulations to everyone who has made this possible! https://t.co/dG3ovLt0ul— Amy Pearson (@DrAmyPearson) June 28, 2023

So incredibly proud to have played however tiny a part in this as a deputy editor. I was compelled to join AiA for its staunch values in centring autistic people in research about us. This first impact factor tells the world just how important that is. It sends a clear message!5 https://t.co/63vKv08bjL— Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️ (@DrMBotha) June 28, 2023

I have always said I care about real world impact way more than an Impact Factor, but to be candid, I was blown away by our first IF of 6.8! This speaks to the transformative nature of our journal's inclusive, participatory ethos; the incredible work of our editorial team;.... 1/ https://t.co/TBS6XDdxnN— Christina Nicolaidis, MD, MPH (@cnicolaidis) June 29, 2023

Autism in Adulthood has been path breaking since its inception: it must be remembered and recorded as the first major neurodiversity paradigm journal. https://t.co/M7ZYyW05gA— Robert Chapman is they/them (@DrRJChapman) June 29, 2023

The quality of articles and groundbreaking work in this autism journal is reflected in the very high score it's being given here.It'll be good when there's more open access material - hopefully that will happen with time. https://t.co/PFIwB0b6q3— Ann Memmott PgC MA (She/They) (@AnnMemmott) June 29, 2023

So, #JudySinger has now called the #neurodiversity movement "cultish" and wants to introduce "#neurorealism" – basically a new label for the same old anti-autistic ableist nonsense.In that light, here's a little history lesson I posted to Reddit. https://t.co/YTdhjLk9HQ— Martijn Dekker 🇪🇺 @mcdutchie@cybre.town (@autimodo) June 28, 2023

A new study finds that nonautistic trans people experience alexithymia at an elevated rate, just as Autistic people do. Perhaps BOTH trans and Autistic people have trouble knowing our feelings because we're used to dissociating from them due to trauma. https://t.co/DlZC72FPeI— Typer Durden is more active on tumblr (@drdevonprice) June 26, 2023

One of the most exciting things about portraying Alice, a character loosely based on me in @hrnetflix season 2 is sharing a story about disability activism and giving no fucks to ableists! @netflixgolden @nickkroll #DisabilityRights #DisabilityTwitter #RepresentationMatters pic.twitter.com/01ZxUK63e9— Alice Wong 王美華 (@SFdirewolf) June 26, 2023

What's the one story - book, film, tv show, piece of music, play, dance - that you'd choose to explain disability? @stimpunks @TommyShakes https://t.co/qITCUnM2uE— Ira Socol - looking for alternative media (@irasocol) June 22, 2023

There was an amazing dance I once saw in Madrid, by Psycho-Physico Ballet, who were parents with their children with Down Syndrome, dancing to PCO 'Music for a found harmonium' (which has overwhelmed me ever since).— Tom Shakespeare (@TommyShakes) June 23, 2023

My 13 year old son cannot speak at all. Some of you may remember I dreamt up the idea of a “pointing board” for him about a year ago and this is an update thread. As you can see the stickers are now yellowed and torn in places from heavy use. It gets HEAVY daily use pic.twitter.com/0WQmnqvYpP— The Autistic SEND Mother Uncut (@ASMU_Sendplight) June 18, 2023
