Always surprises me when researchers believe that a group of behaviours such as RRBs, social interaction and atypical sensory experiences will have a common biological marker across the autistic population.— Graham Mead (@twillierod) December 7, 2022

Finally, there's an opportunity cost to so much funding going to biomarker research. I'm not inherently against it at a symptom level-- it may help identify biological contributors to some disabling co-occurring aspects-- but these $ comes at the expense of other funding needs.— Noah Sasson (@Noahsasson) December 7, 2022

Short🧵on biomarkers in autism research. Autism is behaviorally defined, meaning there's subjectivity in the diagnostic process. Biomarkers have appeal because, theoretically, they may increase objectivity and perhaps enable earlier detection. However... https://t.co/ydAQS6sz5E— Noah Sasson (@Noahsasson) December 7, 2022

New biomarker in autism review“Biomarkers assayed in multiple studies yielded mostly inconsistent results, revealing a replication crisis”“There is currently no response biomarker with sufficient evidence to inform ASD clinical trials” https://t.co/Tp29YmVXbf— Noah Sasson (@Noahsasson) December 7, 2022

I signed another 100 books at @RoomofOnesOwn today! I believe at least 75 of these are already spoken for, but as long as people keep ordering, I’ll keep signing. It brings me joy to see & touch so many copies of #BlackDisabilityPolitics before they reach readers. pic.twitter.com/JmTNm92sMz— Sami Schalk (@DrSamiSchalk) December 5, 2022

"And I also think we need to kind of re-imagine the concept of professionalism. What do we mean by professionalism? Why is it necessary? Because it's really still very much tied to capitalistic structure and productivity" - Vu Le (@NonprofitAF) #TigerTalks #YearOfTheTiger— Longmore Institute on Disability (@LongmoreInst) December 8, 2022

"Professionalism should not be linear. In fact, it's not, and that's fine. That's also a value, the Disability Justice principle that every person has value and should be considered in their whole is really important" - Sandy Ho (@NotYourAvgHo101) #TigerTalks #YearOfTheTiger— Longmore Institute on Disability (@LongmoreInst) December 8, 2022

"When learning is allowed to be project, problem, and passion driven, then children learn because of their terroir, not disengage in spite of it. When we recognize biodiversity in our schools as healthy, then we increase the likelihood that our ecosystems will thrive." https://t.co/TaGxsGxG4m— Elaine Mcgreevy (@ElaineMcgreevy) December 7, 2022

I give a talk to the brave striking students at McMaster University tomorrow. It is a pleasure to join with students who have refused to give up, exhibit such courage, and are willing, as Angela Davis points out, to create beauty in the process of collective struggle.— Henry A.

My whole life I’ve felt like Alice in Wonderland and not known why.I’ve constantly been alone and lost, but fascinated by this strange world around me.But today something big happened.Today I was diagnosed with #autism, and today is the first day I call myself #autistic. pic.twitter.com/S9ObegLaDC— Tics n Tatts (@TicsnTatts) December 2, 2022

I recently realised that since I discovered I’m autistic my choice of clothing has changed. What I wear now is much more comfortable and usually meets my sensory needs. Rather than wearing what I think is expected from observing others. It helps to know.#Autistic #Unmasking— Alex Harpin (@AlexHarpin) December 2, 2022

This is how I feel now when I find my voice as #autistic or #AuDHD adult. My Neurokind family is amazing 😍🤩. And all the #SEND mom's and parents, #ADHD #ND people around. We are stronger together, let's become a voice.#dranilakhan #NDtherapist #pashtunwoman #ActuallyAutistic pic.twitter.com/fNb6Uks5er— Dr. Anila Khan (@dranilakhan) December 4, 2022

Is it normal to re-evaluate your ENTIRE life after learning you’re #autistic because… Wow.🫠#ActuallyAutistic #AskingAutistics— Tics n Tatts (@TicsnTatts) December 5, 2022
