Just to clarify, this brilliant animation is based on the writing of autistic young person @ErinT_Davidson, about her school experiences. Created in conjunction with @donaldson_trust, @billyan_derson, the John and Lorna Foundation, and me.#autism #absence— Dr Ruth Moyse 💙 (@mum2aspergirl) October 23, 2022

Hypothetical question. If you were to put up a flyer to find #Autistic people who don’t know they are Autistic yet, what questions would you have?For example: Can you hear electricity?Have you always been an outsider?Do you have intense special interests?— You Might Be Autistic (@mightbeautistic) October 24, 2022

THREAD. This weekend, the New York Times published misinformation it knew to be false. Because the stakes are so high, I try my best to explain what the paper did why it is so dangerous.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) October 24, 2022

"Instead of focusing on perceived social deficits and normative remediation, [double empathy] suggests a position of humility in the face of difference, the need to build rapport and understanding and not assume a lack of capacity for understanding" https://t.co/FIOJjvt9hb— Noah Sasson (@Noahsasson) October 21, 2022

The fact that autistic children are still so frequently not getting straightforward, basic accommodations in school - the kind of things that are *easy* and *cheap* to implement - is a vast tragedy, given the outcomes this so frequently leads to.— Pete Wharmby (@commaficionado) October 22, 2022

Imagine a world where we said, what’s going on with the children? So many of them are angry and distressed after school. So many of them are shut in their bedrooms. So many of them are anxious and unhappy. So many of them disillusioned at 15. 1;— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022

Maybe we’d look at their lives and ask ourselves what it’s like to be young in 2022. We’d see the pressure they are under and we’d ask if that’s necessary in their one and only childhood. We’d ask if they really need to spend their childhood taking tests and being ranked. 3/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022

We’d build adventure playgrounds & make schools places full of opportunities and choices. We’d surround them with adults who valued their voices & helped them to learn about things they love, We’d build workshops and studios where they could learn skills and find meaning. 4/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022

We’d value their differences and nurture their individuality. We’d make spaces for play. We’d start with relationships, always, and we’d offer them chances to challenge themselves. We’d surround them in unconditional acceptance and we’d help them recover when they messed up. 5/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022

We’d tell them there are second chances, and third, and fourth and that there is never only one way in life. We’d give them hope for the future, and we’d show them we believed in them, even when they fail. We’d show them that success happens in many ways. 6/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022

We’d listen to what they said & take them seriously. We’d stop assuming we always know best & we’d let them make some choices themselves. We’d tell them they can’t be ‘behind’ because there is no race. We’d let them make mistakes & we’d be there to catch them when they fell. 7/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 18, 2022
