If you think you know what autism is but your only reference is what you've seen on TV or your cousin's/sister's/neighbor's kid... there's a very good chance you're wrong.

Caught up on Doctor Who and it was joyful to see Rose Ayling-Ellis playing Aliss. True representation front and centre So glad the Beeb went with a Deaf actor and smoothly incorporated BSL & live caption tech into the episode Really good episode. Worth a watch! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Don't send all your users' data to the broligarchs. The Astro Fonts API downloads and caches fonts so they're served from your site, not an ad company's. Better for CLS *and* GDPR.

When I didn’t have “I’m autistic” I had “I need a minute”, “I don’t understand”. I had a lot of ways to communicate my needs. Better than what to many is a vague medical label. I was still autistic. #AutismAcceptance means accepting all autistic people, not just ones with “certificates”.

“Normal” people expend an awful lot of effort stating the obvious, like pointing out the currently observable weather. How weird is that? 😅 #WeirdPrideDay
