Do consider watching this fantastic and very pointed take on 'inspiration porn', using disabled people as cheap entertainment where everyone else is the alleged 'hero' for being in the same space as us. https://t.co/GRlcX73rPI— Ann Memmott PgC MA (@AnnMemmott) September 17, 2022

Are some students prioritizing other things and often doing a really bad job at it? Yes. There are a thousand other things kids may want to do instead of try to learn. But I've found that "laziness" is rarely the real reason kids aren't willing to engage in an assignment.3/— Tyler Rablin (@Mr_Rablin) September 12, 2022

This is for a replication of one of the most important autism studies of recent years.It's on cross-neurotype communication, for example between autistic and non-autistic people - coincidentally also the topic of this evening's webinar, with @DjzemaLouiz.#doubleEmpathy #autism https://t.co/71YciToyy4— AMASE (@AMASEdin) September 13, 2022

There are strong parallels between cross-neurotype communication and cross-cultural communication.Fortunately in the modern era, it's widely understood that miscommunications between cultures don't mean that one culture is deficient. Perhaps one day we'll get there with autism.— AMASE (@AMASEdin) September 13, 2022

For anyone who missed the announcement on Friday, we are looking for autistic & non-autistic people to take part in the replication of the Diversity in Social Intelligence study.

I'd love to see an ethnography on how families with disabled members manage competing access needs. Anyone know if something like this exists?— Kristen Bottema-Beutel (@KristenBott) September 13, 2022

https://t.co/QnfXpOyFWb I like this new research. They look at how autistic people eat out & go food shopping. Originally framed as 'weird' behaviour, the authors say it is "an authentically autistic way to exercise their right to comfortably co-exist... as themselves".Yes.— Ann Memmott PgC MA (@AnnMemmott) September 10, 2022

In this video @Tinu talks about her experiences as an African American woman with long-covid and cancer, the high cost of medical care, and the need to be prepared for the next stages of the pandemic.https://t.co/J8l94Xrr4e— National Disability Rights Network (@NDRNadvocates) September 7, 2022

Filmed casually in my new bedroom is one of the projects I’m most proud of this year. My intention of this video is to describe for doctors & healthcare professionals what a disabled patient’s experience of healthcare under #COVID19 & #LongCovid is like.#DisabilityTwitter https://t.co/IgTn6SfLHe— Tinu - Empress of Twerk, Thirst of My Line. 🟣 (@Tinu) September 7, 2022

I want to bring back this article that I wrote about being disabled.Disabled people aren't faking being sick. We're often faking being well.#DisabilityTwitter #NEISvoidhttps://t.co/kDnWLlF8zx— 🌸Bibi🌸♿ (@bibicosplays) September 12, 2022

Happy #SMTX PRIDE, y’all! I am so proud to be a founding member of the first LGBTQ Caucus in the Texas Legislature.

This is not the Disability Rights Week tweet I thought I’d write today. Over the weekend, my friend Gaylon Tootle died. Gaylon co-led @revupgeorgia & he made things happen. The last time I saw Gaylon he showed up to my apartment with a camera crew from @SaveMyVoteGA. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/BiOhSy7aRa— Maria Town (@maria_m_town) September 13, 2022

"..the idea that voting processes should be at least somewhat difficult& exacting, as a way of ensuring that only the most informed & committed citizens vote.“This belief hides a very pernicious idea of who deserves to vote,” ... “and is rooted in barely masked racism & ableism.” https://t.co/V5xIEwllTX— The Guerilla Librarian (@DagbokDog) September 13, 2022

He was making a documentary about the disability vote and disability voter advocacy efforts in Georgia. The next day he would introduce Vice President Harris at an event and talk about life before and after the ADA and how inaccessible transit is a form of voter suppression. 2/3 pic.twitter.com/t9iBHtMdCP— Maria Town (@maria_m_town) September 13, 2022

Gaylon told me consistently was that as a Black blind man raised in rural Georgia, he’d seen voter suppression before. He’d say we have to come together and act because we must win. We cannot go back. It’s in that spirit that @AAPD is dedicating this years #DVRW to Gaylon. 3/3 pic.twitter.com/FqcliLV1cK— Maria Town (@maria_m_town) September 13, 2022

New research. Autistic adults, and what researchers need to understand about meaningful goals for us and for our quality of life generally. Top team. Nature publication.

The article opens powerfully:"There is little comprehensive research into autistic adulthood, & even less into the services and supports that are most likely to foster flourishing adult autistic lives../— Ann Memmott PgC MA (@AnnMemmott) September 12, 2022
