Possibly the best AAC post of all time: If you or your autistic person use AAC [alternative communication], don't forget to enable descriptions of personal boundaries—because everyone should be able to say "stop" and "F*** off". From Mel Baggs, RIP: ballastexistenz.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/c...

Some reasons late autism diagnoses happen: “If you were socialized as a girl, chances are your neurodivergence was ignored because you weren’t disruptive enough. If you’re BIPOC, your symptoms were likely dismissed or misdiagnosed.” www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/wild... #neurodiversity #autism

Autistic here, and most of my friends are also neurodivergent in some way. We're all weird together and it rocks. My friends are really cool and so am I!

Last week's #CRAEwebinar is up on YouTube... in three versions. One in the original Japanese, one with overdubbing, and one with just the English translation. bit.ly/CRAEwebinars (Hopefully, we've sorted out the right captions too!)

To be more specific, parents of autistic kids should listen to autistic *wisdom*—because there are actually plenty of autistic people whom no one should listen to. #neurodiversity

“Parents should be aware that […] there is sufficient reason to be believe that adverse events do occur when autistic people participate in ABA & the majority of research on ABA is produced by researchers who also provide ABA as a service." @kbottemabeutel.bsky.social: www.salon.com/2025/02/05/a...

“When environments are designed with neurodivergent people in mind — ensuring accessibility, inclusion and safety — it is likely to make those spaces more inclusive and supportive for all.” insightplus.mja.com.au/2025/5/why-w... #neurodiversity #autism

Been there, done that! AD detox could be shattering. Done it a couple of times and never ever doing it again. It messed up my body and mind. Now I'm stuck with diabetes type 2 and poorer EF. www.madinamerica.com/2025/01/anti...

C'mon! This and mass shootings are top news when covering autism in mass media. Don't want anything to do with either 🫣

Autism is not a disease, so "the framing of autistic characteristics and behaviours as ‘symptoms’ is misleading, harmful and helps nobody." Instead, others should strive to understand autistic experiences and proceed accordingly. From @fergus.oolong.co.uk: oolong.medium.com/autism-sympt... #autism

It’s really exciting to see an accessible summary of a literature review! Fascinating findings too

Every few days, I look up the news on autism. It's regularly crazy thinking. But this one got to be the weirdest yet. I know it's a trash newspaper, but it's still really crazy press this one. I have no telepathic powers, btw. #AutisticNotTelepathic www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

“The pressure to conform to this standard and my fear of lacking the strength to resist it scared me away from a career I had spent most of my twenties building toward.” Oof. This could have been me but I got lucky to pivot.

A long way to go while trying to understand ToM, but still moving into the right direction with the proposed mind space framework.
