When you see articles about autistic social skills "improving," be skeptical. Unless the authors are autistic or autistic-informed, they are usually talking about making autistics conform to non-autistic standards—not about helping autistic people thrive socially. #neurodiversity— Thinking Person's Guide To Autism (@thinkingautism) August 26, 2023

Changelog: Equity is not compatible with deficit ideology because the function of deficit ideology is to obscure the actual causes of disparities.https://t.co/nX8CAC7kHY#DEIB— Stimpunks Foundation (@stimpunks) August 26, 2023

Sal Khan promised the shift to video would revolutionize education. Now, he offers Khanmigo as a labor-saving AI-tutor, & Khan Lab School is a case study in what technocrats expect for mass education compared to what they demand for their own kids.https://t.co/SPhpqKjBiZ— Human Restoration Project (@HumResPro) August 23, 2023

All questions of fairness aside, “Perfect Attendance” is not a value I want to teach my children. There are always good reasons to miss a day of school. Or a day of work. What we produce is not the most important thing about us.— Jay Wamsted (@JayWamsted) August 25, 2023

Just sprinting heedlessly towards dystopia. As soon as Sidwell Friends or Seattle Lakeside start using this technology, I'll believe that it's an acceptable substitute for the human-centered education all children deserve. pic.twitter.com/BA53QyNify— John Warner (@biblioracle) August 18, 2023

Those who impose ABA/ PBS on #autistic children never get to answer for the damage they do to autistic adults. The ABA industry carefully avoids researching the long term consequences of what they do. Power without responsibility has corrupted the ABA industry.#ActuallyAutistic— Cos (@autismage) August 16, 2023
