Honestly?!! They are at it again and again trying to give a bad name to neurodiversity Who are these ppl who want to take us to the 80s and what is driving their agenda? Unproductive division when we ugently need rigorous humanism + save lives. https://t.co/hEXCbTUNI7— Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou (she/her) (@JoPavlopoulou) January 11, 2023

If someone is selling burnout recovery workshops and doesn’t seriously acknowledge the need for systemic & political change - run. It’s becoming popular again to repackage rugged individualism as empowerment.— Selin Nurgün (@selinmnu) January 11, 2023

Stigma around Autism results in unequal healthcare. My participant explains:"I don't trust health professionals. Full stop. If I knew an autistic midwife, I'd disclose to them, but I can't be bothered to see the doubt on peoples faces, or the gaslighting words and judgement"— Dr Aimee Grant is #ucuRISING 👩‍🦼 (she/they) (@DrAimeeGrant) January 10, 2023

With @dingemansemark@scholar.social et al: "a figure-ground reversal that puts interaction at the heart of cognition. The interactive stance is a way of seeing that deserves to be a key part of the conceptual toolkit of cognitive scientists" https://t.co/YH3CLTOqMN— hanne de jaegher (@participha) January 11, 2023

LEANS introduces mainstream primary school pupils aged 8-11 to the concept of neurodiversity, and helps them explore how it impacts school experiences. What does “neurodiversity” mean, and what does it have to do with me and my classroom?! Clasroom pack on my reading list ;) https://t.co/axpNUMIX7d— Dr Georgia Pavlopoulou (she/her) (@JoPavlopoulou) January 8, 2023

We highly recommend LEANS for learning about neurodiversity at school. We reference it often in our series and courses.https://t.co/TND8L9QTsY https://t.co/shwMFUskMk— Stimpunks (@stimpunks) January 10, 2023

The shittiest part of being a "perfectionist burnt out gifted kid who turned out to be neurodivergent the whole time" is feeling like I've ever done enough to deserve rest.— Catieosaurus (@CatieOsaurus) January 8, 2023

I’ve been teaching myself to make paper plants and fungi. I’d planned to make a tea plant (Camellia sinensis) sprig for @MxOolong for Christmas, but illness thwarted my plans. I managed to finally finish it and present it to them today. pic.twitter.com/sc1vKLpJ0r— Sonny Hallett (@scrappapertiger) January 8, 2023

I have a barber shop that's located in my school district that is willing to allow me to put books in his shop to encourage boys and men to read more. I need some book suggestions and donations though. Can you all recommend books with Blk characters and books for Blk men?— Latrice, M.Ed (@MooreofMsMartin) January 6, 2023
