What did last year's participants have to say about Conference to #RestoreHumanity?

Apopos of absoluely nohing I wrote this back in 2021 about how Robert F. Kennedy spent years promoting bullshit about autism and few people stopped him then. Now he's no longer #ActuallyAutistic people and their loved ones' problem. https://t.co/AOdWYLTl3o— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 19, 2023

seems a good day to share that @WalkerSensei coined the phrase ‘Neuroqueer’ and her book is a beautiful, inclusive, empowering must-read on the neurodiversity paradigm and vision for a better future, together.💗 https://t.co/orQltpHwmR— Lauren Theresa 🥏 (@ImLaurenTheresa) June 18, 2023

So much neurodiversity theory and scholarship has been developed by trans or non-binary ppl. What are your favourite works? I'll start. This is a really great 2018 essay by Lydia X. Z. Brown on neurodiversity and respectability politics. https://t.co/n2w6ZlrZUN— Robert Chapman is they/them (@DrRJChapman) June 20, 2023

For what it’s worth, I wrote a whole book that explains how the panic about autism and vaccines explains a ton about how our modern politics are so screwed up https://t.co/GVOaCZwKn4— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 20, 2023

20 years from now, when I'm really old instead of just a little old, and a new generation is building on concepts I helped to develop and queering culture in ways I hadn't imagined, I hope I'll be a gracious & supportive toward them even when I don't fully get what they're doing.— Nick Walker / Mastodon: @DrNicky@zirk.us (@WalkerSensei) June 20, 2023

@stimpunks is my recent favourite website - fantastic writing / resources / sources of info— @Autistic Realms (@autisticrealms) June 20, 2023

Robert Kennedy’s legacy is so toxic because after a bunch of autistic people got diagnosed in the 1990s and the 2000s, we had a chance to improve their lives. Instead, America panicked about an “epidemic.” Robert Kennedy’s toxic bullshit wasted invaluable time— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 18, 2023

This is a fantastic idea given how many #ActuallyAutistic people are in the LGBT+ community. https://t.co/Gd72XyOSeV— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 18, 2023

Interoceptive differences are common in most (if not all) Autistic people.Interoception is the sense thar allows us to read our body's internal signals, such as recognising heart rate, emotions, and body temperature.It also plays a role in how we feel pain.Autistic people… pic.twitter.com/EO7mr7iPfm— David Gray-Hammond (@emgntdivergence) June 16, 2023

Happy Autistic Pride Day! Today (June 18th) is a day that was created in 2005 by Autistic people for Autistic people. It’s a day to celebrate pride for our Autism, and to promote positive change for the Autistic community. What are you proud of as an Autistic person?— Lauren Melissa Ellzey (she/her) (@autienelle) June 18, 2023

The fact that so many cosplay leftists are boosting RFK Jr. when he caused incalculable damage spreading horrendous disinformation about autism is why so many #ActuallyAutistic people don’t trust leftists. It’s similar to how Bernie didn’t have a disability plan in 2016 https://t.co/hG2dvxRxM5— Eric Michael Garcia (@EricMGarcia) June 18, 2023

RIP Donald Triplett (1933–2023), who at the age of 5 became the first person to be given the newly-conceived diagnosis of autism. In the writings of Dr. Leo Kanner, the child psychiatrist who came up with the diagnosis, Mr. Triplett is referred to as "Case 1." pic.twitter.com/sbR3J26CsL— Nick Walker / Mastodon: @DrNicky@zirk.us (@WalkerSensei) June 17, 2023

You can be autistic and:- Be solitary.- Have one best friend.- Have a few functional [friend/acquaintance]ships.- Be on the outskirts of a friend group, trying to fit in yet not feeling part of it. - Be popular, because you naturally endear people or have a vivacious mask.— Callum Stephen (He/Him) (@AutisticCallum_) June 17, 2023
