Normalize making educational decisions for deaf and hard-of-hearing children based on what's best for them, rather than what's most convenient for their parents.— Sara Nović (@NovicSara) February 28, 2022

Okay, so my wife made a breakthrough for me for hygiene.Nobody told me I could just use kids toothpaste until she saw a TikTok and showed it to me.Now I kind of look forward to it? All the 'normal' toothpaste flavors are mint, or spearmint, or some variation of fucking mint.— emily and talisman, (@hypergenders) March 1, 2022

"When we are alive, we have to fight for recognition and in death our lives are cast in stereotypes and cliches that robs us of our innate humanity."

Your regular reminder that we don’t bring about a more just world by making fun of people’s appearances. Yes, even the appearances of people who are harmful. Hold them accountable for their words and actions, folks. Words and actions.— Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (@TheRaDR) February 27, 2022

Insisting people who put questions in the chat then turn on their videos and cameras to ask is ableist.Insisting everyone has their cameras on during talks/class is also ableist.There are so many reasons people aren't comfortable with this. And it should be respected.— Nicole Melzack (@nmelzack) March 1, 2022

Having a really good support system helps a lot with ADHD. I was pretty bad at staying in touch with people pre-diagnosis as I often forgot about people or just had wayyy too much on to foster some relationships— Rach Idowu (@AdultingADHD) February 28, 2022

If you’re a manager and your 1-1s don’t start with “How are you doing, and how can I help you?”, I feel that you’re not leading as well as you could be.— 🇺🇦 Tom Geraghty (@tom_geraghty) February 27, 2022

The autistic urge to always be surprised by a person doing something horrible, despite it having happened before, due to a strong habit of always assuming the best of everyone— Pete Wharmby (@commaficionado) February 27, 2022

We're in agreement that the entire Belcher family is neurodivergent, right?— Liz Bernstein (she/they) 🌈 (@yeralizard) February 27, 2022

Disability recipients are being forced to attend in person evaluations or risk losing their benefits. It's time we change the system. The most vulnerable should not have to risk their health to put food on the table and pay their bills. #DisabilityTwitter #NEISvoid— Kerri 🦋 (@KerriJersey) February 27, 2022

This part. Stop trying to copy- paste diversity on top of your present company culture.It doesn't work. And diversity isn't just racial. It's avvomodating LGBTQIA & disabled people and letting th be who they are out loud. #DEI https://t.co/JBxWVbtWqY— Tinu :Empress of Twerk, Thirst of My Line (@Tinu) February 27, 2022

I am disappointed and FURIOUS with @CDCgov, @bgsu, and everyone else claiming masks are no longer necessary. They are saying, "We don't care if immunocompromised people die or become permanently disabled, we only care about the comfort of health-privileged."— Jinx Mylo (@jenmylo) February 26, 2022

2,797 people died of covid yesterday (not counting the people in states that stopped reporting accurate numbers). That's more than 1,000 higher per day than when fall term started at @bgsu. This is utter bullshit.— Jinx Mylo (@jenmylo) February 26, 2022

Speech & Language Therapy as a profession is Biopolitical, Colonial & Racist I said what I said & will not be silenced by individuals who have tried to police my voice— Warda Farah (@WFarahslt) February 25, 2022

https://t.co/aaLh05N4T0 I'd like to have a proper look at this important new research, as mentioned yesterday.Autistic people and what happens re our attempts to get healthcare for physical and mental health conditions that we might also have.

"...the most notable difference related to difficulties using the telephone to book an appointment (62% of autistic people vs 16% of nonautistic people).In other words, more than 6 out of 10 autistic people are struggling to phone for help.What do we do?

"The waiting room environment was a barrier for 51% ofautistic respondents, but only 8% of non-autistic respondents".Sensory hazards are a very real obstacle for over half of autistic people.So much for a well known charity that told me this was 'rare'/— Ann Memmott PGC🌈 (@AnnMemmott) February 24, 2022

Here's the table about sensory barriers for autistic patients, from that link.Two columns - first one is how many autistic people had problems, second one is how many nonautistic people had problems. % Figures in brackets are main ones to focus on/ pic.twitter.com/T8dzmwrB9L— Ann Memmott PGC🌈 (@AnnMemmott) February 24, 2022
