I want to help other parents understand why pseudoscience approaches—diets, supplements & anti-vaccines just leave your children vulnerable to diseases—and then normalization approaches that don't get autism at all, are going to make everybody in miserable, most of all your kid." https://t.co/FuuHC4U2Do— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) April 22, 2023

Stuff like this is why I am so protective of Lion.These sort of power dynamics are an intentionally abusive mess.Places doing this sort of nonsense should have be shut down long ago. There’s so much work to do. https://t.co/f8b3Wp4t08— Jamie + Lion (@spacedoutsmiles) April 21, 2023

I have written a ND affirming glossary ebook for @thepdaspace for their May Summit23. We will be sending it out with tickets so I can't share it yet. I'm publishing it after the event on my own website - I may add some new ideas into it after the PDASpace event x— @Autistic Realms (@autisticrealms) April 22, 2023

There is a profound injustice when young talented autistic people are pushed away from a career in health care under the pretext of debunked and devastating theories re: supposed lack of empathy and tom.

My conversation w/ @anndaraabrams ahead of the release of her book, Shortchanged: How Advanced Placement Cheat Students, gets to the heart of the program: what it provides to address structural issues, & how those solutions perpetuate issues of their own.https://t.co/viE842WQ7O pic.twitter.com/alkIAD2W26— Nick Covington (@CovingtonEDU) April 22, 2023

We have been saying: Never again is now.The State is asking citizens to report their neighbors, whose children will be wrenched from them.

Happy 420Countless autistic people self-medicate with cannabis after developing depression anxiety and cptsd because this nightmare world has treated them so badly and continues to!I often wonder if they'd still have to if they had spaces to exist free of neuronormativity.— fun facts with lulu 🌈 (@FunFactsLulu) April 20, 2023

This is an autistic led, healthcare informed, essential tool for healthcare workers. Autism seen in 100% of health settings.
