I'm not about to apply for a job across the Atlantic on a whim, but I was struck by the @1972SHP Principles in this image. Could we incorporate these ideas into more of our curricula here in the States?What do we think #sschat? https://t.co/JaXcs4d8KL— Christopher Barber (@Chris_C_Barber) January 6, 2023

“autism (self-)assessments” are the equivalent of a straight person coming up with a definitive test to determine whether or not someone is gay based on every stereotype straight people came up with about how people think, act, talk, behave, etc.— Keillan Cruickshank (check pinned tweet) (@iwritecoolstuff) January 5, 2023

Excited to share my first editorial as a @journalautism Associate Editor! In it, I argue that frameworks for categorizing autism interventions as ‘Evidence-based Practices’ (EBPs) rely on research quality standards that are far too low 🧵 1/7 https://t.co/ScxZ9541h7— Kristen Bottema-Beutel (@KristenBott) January 2, 2023

#ABLEISM 2022The #pandemic has illustrated how purported "fitness" & location are used to assign value.This year's edits name "health/wellness"+age; & replaces "nationality" with birth/living place.https://t.co/NdNgl1dAzo#covid19#DisabilityJustice#DisabilitySolidarity pic.twitter.com/GOsJK0feVF— Talila "TL" Lewis (@talilalewis) January 2, 2022

"...Ableism here has always been about at least race, gender, labor/productivity/capital, & dis/ability. In fact, ableism has been used for generations to degrade, oppress, control, and disappear disabled and non-disabled people alike — especially those who are Black/Indigenous." pic.twitter.com/fywUGXYV84— Talila "TL" Lewis (@talilalewis) January 6, 2023

Since ableist theories...have been used to construct “Black,”we must engage w ableism if we seek to understand & dismantle anti-Black racism. The opposite is also true: dismantling ableism requires direct engagement w & intentional confrontation & dismantling of anti-Blackness... pic.twitter.com/7joJxFJf1o— Talila "TL" Lewis (@talilalewis) January 6, 2023

For those who keep saying they don't understand why we are so focused on masks: Mask mandates are the policy that would instantly make a huge difference to the lives of higher risk people. It would mean they could go on public transport, access medical care, & other basic needs.— Dr. Lucky Tran (@luckytran) January 2, 2023

Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel that they get enough sleep? If yes, how much do you usually get? If not, why not? Would you consider sleep a major problem for you in general as an autistic human?

My entire childhood I was told I needed to think before I spoke. I'm sure other ADHD'ers can relate.The problem is that I couldn't actually do that, and I still can't, so what I learned instead was to not speak— Structured Success (@StructuredSucc) January 5, 2023

Still one of my all-time favorite education quotes: “Measurable outcomes may be the least significant results of learning.” -Prof. Linda McNeil(My extended take on why that's true: https://t.co/uDtusPgZLo.)— Alfie Kohn (@alfiekohn) January 3, 2023

“From a child’s perspective, school looks more like a rigidly controlled dictatorship, demonstrating that it’s okay to manipulate and coerce.” ~ Jim Rietmulder, _When Kids Rule the School_— Bruce L. Smith (@numbalum89) January 5, 2023

These things are hard. There's no definite right approach that works across every context. It's a process. That said, I highly recommend instructors examine how much of their pedagogy rests on compliance, and whether or not student compliance is actually linked to learning.— John Warner (@biblioracle) January 4, 2023
