"I want to see autistic happiness and autistic thriving. […] For these shows to exist, they need autistic writers from the very beginning and/or very involved consulting by autistic people themselves, before a script is even written."

Excited for @HolSmale's keynote on masking."Everybody masks, but when you are neurodivergent, masking is on a different level. The mask can be incredibly heavy.. I have to change the very basis of who I am & this is exhausting. I felt like I was broken."Powerful start #ITAKOM— Aimee (@aimee_speaks) March 13, 2023

I had a pleasure presenting my preliminary look at how mouthing constructions that results from translanguaging practices in ASL communities have real world affects on transgender and nonconforming signers (re: misgendering).

Good luck to everyone with sleep disorders adjusting to the random "we removed one hour from your life" day.I was absolutely not prepared for this (and therefore still in bed..). Tomorrow will be.. interesting and by interesting I mean tired.— AutisticSciencePerson, MSc (@AutSciPerson) March 12, 2023

I have multi sensory #aphantasia so no recall of images, voices, songs, smells, tastes.It makes me sad I can’t picture my daughter & husband, our favourite things or beautiful scenery, so I compensate with thousands of photos.@_aphantasia @ProfJoelPearson are worth following— Dizzy (@_inthespincycle) March 12, 2023

There is a big conversation to be had around teen mental health, but one common talking point needs to be revised. There were obvious signs of this epidemic long before 2012 and smart phones/social media. https://t.co/PTszdKPNec— John Warner (@biblioracle) March 12, 2023

There are many reasons someone may not have their cameras on in a Zoom meeting:Maybe someone is Autistic or ADHD and is subconscious about how their own attention looks vs “NeuroTypical attention” - pressure to camouflage can take energy away from concentration on the meeting.— NeuroDivergent Rebel (they/them/Xe/Xem) 🧠 🏳️‍🌈 (@NeuroRebel) March 12, 2023

This isn't to minimize the real challenges for teachers. But we should put the reasoning where it belongs, on the big picture. It's easy to blame kids and families for "not caring." Harder to sit in the grief of the context.— Alex Shevrin Venet (@AlexSVenet) March 12, 2023

What's your least favorite/most hated education buzzword? Let's build a list we can burn in effigy.I think mine is "rigor".#edchat— Christopher Barber (@Chris_C_Barber) March 9, 2023

I’m so angry at this! @AnneRabbitte says she’s bringing in more behavioural therapists!How many #ActuallyAutistic people have to be put through this outdated, evidence-less, invalidating, horrific torture?@AusomeIreland @KearnsGillian @NeuroPrideIRL https://t.co/bZypmQbWEx— Rob (@GymRobcom) March 8, 2023

I’m both angry and upset, I really thought @AnneRabbitte was actually listening.There is no evidence that ABA works long term, and lots of evidence that it causes harm as well as PTSD and cPTSD. It’s an intervention forced on people without their consent.This is disgusting— Rob (@GymRobcom) March 8, 2023

#ABA harms Inspect the research. It doesn't take long to see that ABA studies are mostly low in quality, falsely promoted as "scientific".Huge conflict of interests.No consideration of adverse effects or harms.#ABA has nothing to offer.Listen to #Autistic people. https://t.co/3PKRHKiFP5— Elaine Mcgreevy (@ElaineMcgreevy) March 11, 2023

I've always been curious about what happened between Deresiewicz's "excellent sheep" that he first identified in 2008 and the "coddled" students first named in 2012 by Haidt/Lukianoff. They come from the same spots, elite higher ed, but they're described very differently.— John Warner (@biblioracle) March 11, 2023

I'm going to guess that a global financial meltdown may have sowed some doubt as to the stability of that meritocratic path, so some number of students might've started to question a system they experienced as punishing which all the sudden didn't come with expected rewards.— John Warner (@biblioracle) March 11, 2023

Looking forward to @ITAKOM_CONF Monday-Tuesday.Also looking forward to my short talk and panel on Tuesday afternoon, where I plan to be admitting that I don’t know what a counsellor is, and exploring what I mean by that (and how that makes me feel?).#TherapistsConnect #ITAKOM https://t.co/5GXliW9RUN— Sonny Hallett (@scrappapertiger) March 11, 2023
