All these education reforms and crime reforms have taken our children from us. They ain’t stopping until we stop them.

Sacks. It’ll be 100 years before we understand that man’s impact on the world and the way we know the mind. Thanks for sharing this. Everyone ND needs to see this. #ActuallyAutistic https://t.co/eCaFzpuZgE— fellow.traveler | at kevwi bsky social | Kevin (@Hawai_kai9) September 1, 2023

This is honestly one of the biggest problems in the "autism world." Because new parents are not going to Google "autistic people" and even if they do, autism speaks is still going to be #1 on the search engine. Even with all that knowledge out there they can't access it. https://t.co/QlyVm2jvh3— @AutSciPerson@mstdn.social (@AutSciPerson) August 31, 2023

"There is no standard way of being, or knowing, or perceiving."Variation is of the essence."There are an infinite number of ways of being and doing and knowing and remembering."And there are an infinite number of ways of being healthy."--Oliver Sacks https://t.co/cXnOupgdCj— Stimpunks Foundation (@stimpunks) August 31, 2023

Excellent neurodiversity affirmation from Oliver Sacks. @DrRJChapman https://t.co/TRGzNXNuXA— Sue Fletcher-Watson (@SueReviews) August 30, 2023

Today we remember Oliver Sacks. A naturalist, a writer, a psychonaut, but first and foremost a physician and explorer of the human condition. In this clip from a lecture he gave at Vanderbilt University in 1999, he talks about how many different "ways of being" there are. pic.twitter.com/BUO0wdV5m9— Oliver Sacks Fdn.

One of the things about “just Google it” or “do your own research” (no shade or shaming anyone, I’ve done it often) is that the lack of media literacy means people don’t have fully developed research skills nor the practiced discernment to separate out quality information.— @ImaniBarbarin@disabled.social (@Imani_Barbarin) August 30, 2023

I think along the same lines, Same goes for smells and taste. I love perfume and strong flavours, and find this at odds with most autistics I know, other than those in my family, who are like me!— LostandfouNDer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈🤘🍄🌺 (@Lostandfounder2) August 30, 2023

My dear #ActuallyAutistic fellows:I invite you all to "play" with this questionnaire and delve deeper into the monotropism theory. I find it fascinating ☺️ 😍 https://t.co/TNYIoI7ZUS— Eugenia Bahit - Writer & Teacher (@EugeniaBahitOK) August 29, 2023

Talking about punk -- I often need LOUD and predictable noise in order to switch tasks.Perhaps this should read "sensory input I can control" instead of "quiet" on that question— fun facts with lulu 🌈 😷 (@FunFactsLulu) August 29, 2023

I really worry that people writing scales and questionnaires tending to be sensory avoidant and saying "quiet" when what they mean is "in a sensory environment that calms you" will make sensory seeking people think the scales and theories don't apply to them!— fun facts with lulu 🌈 😷 (@FunFactsLulu) August 29, 2023
