Diana Diaz-Harrison will likely run Special Education under Tr**p. She is an ABA therapy supporter, & her autism schools have used the dangerous disciplinary practice of restraint and seclusion on students at an unusually high rate. By @bethhawkins.bsky.social: www.the74million.org/article/trum...

Autistic people are human beings with autonomy, and that autonomy should be respected. When we tell autistic people (especially children) that they aren’t allowed to express themselves freely, we tell them that their thoughts and emotions don’t matter. That people pleasing is what matters.

PSA Autism isn't a choice. If someone's autism causes them to do things that annoy you, it's not because they want to annoy you or don't care that they are. It's because they have a literal disability. And just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't one. Hope that helps.

Sometimes there are words or terms that I feel too protective of or are too special to share, and then I scold myself for being a gatekeeper. #NeurodivergentCompendium

“My message to people who want to cut Medicaid is, really think about your own life and think about your own sons or daughters or nieces or nieces of people in your life. Would you do the same thing to them in your own family?” @pbsnews.org www.pbs.org/newshour/sho... #ProtectMedicaid

The past two years under the Biden Administration, homelessness rose by record levels as people struggled to afford housing. Now, the Trump Administration wants to make it even harder on people. Absolutely appalling.

It is pretty darn rare that the APA comes out with a statement like this, nevermind 2 months ago before things felt this dire. Judge Reyes said it best when she inquired, "You do understand, don't you?" These are facts whether or not you believe them.

I celebrated Autism Acceptance/Rage/Empowerment/Pride month at work using the Neurodivergent Lexicon (300+ objects). Sorry I couldn’t incorporate Bluesky into my flow, but the efforts at work had a huge impact. More to come…

If I explain something to you, it doesn’t necessarily mean I think you don’t know it. I’m just autistic and really like explaining things.

“I’ll go for a ‘maybe?’ and ‘or something’, after a pause,” Mulligan explains. “Even though I come out with random and weirdly particular facts throughout the duration of the film, it surely signals I have a merely healthy interest in the subject. They will never know.”

Autistic Lexicon Flat Facing & Flat Affect It’s common for Autistic ppl to emote less frequently & shorter than Allistic ppl as part of our face language but of any intensity when we do. Unfortunately, A “flat face” is often perceived as foreboding, or worse in Allistic face language.

My thoughts on labor organizing are complicated and probably not well-informed, but my thoughts on racial and disability justice are very clear and direct: if you don't want to priortize accessibility because it's juet the right thing to do, you should at least do it because it benefits EVERYONE.

There is no “science of reading”. There are many sciences and disciplines and areas of study around reading. But hey… it makes for a groovy marketing slogan. That’s not so bad.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.
