Neurodiversity is a vital concept, and understanding the difference between neurodiverse and neurodivergent is much more important than just splitting hairs over linguistics. Here is a comic explainer, by @scrappapertiger.bsky.social at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2024/07/neur... #neurodiversity

Welcome to the Autistic Community is a free online "book for autistic people who want to learn what being autistic means. We also want non-autistic people to read the book. It can show you how to make life better for autistic people." By The Autistic Self Advocacy Network. autismacceptance.com

Querying writers in the disability community, check out #PitchDis! #PitchDis is what inspired me to write my 1st novel & is also how I connected with my agent. Definitely worth checking out.

Satire: “People with autism are showing signs that they may soon develop independent thoughts, and worse, start expressing them, researchers have said.” At @thedailytism.bsky.social: thedailytism.com/researchers-...
