A neurotypical woman furious that you just joked about your own disability has issued a statement demanding an apology for “making fun of autism”.

When I was 12 we went to an antique store and they had the largest book I’d ever seen by an author I knew already and I wanted it immediately My parents bought it for me That book was The Stand by Stephen King

ok so it’s kind of like this hypothetical: gov’t gives cheese to needy families families who can’t afford food studies suggest these people have disproportionate trauma politician gets a hold of study says cheese cause trauma takes the cheese back doesn’t ask about trauma anymore “the end”

Autistic people are at a higher risk for catatonic state & because we don’t always act how people might expect AND because catatonia doesn’t always look like vacancy & limb rigidity, it’s easy to miss! I’ve been lucky to see diverse cases of catatonia in my work and it looks a lot of different ways!

Very cool! Went to follow, saw I already did. Thanks for these efforts and for the rest of your impressive body of work!

sometimes PSTD means that you tell a story while laughing, perfectly euthymic, feeling stable and great and your friend’s face just suddenly falls and they gasp slightly, and they say your name softly but urgently, it hangs in the air And you’re like, what? Is that not HILARIOUS &/or relatable? 😅

And because I've seen the comparison: This is not an H.P. Lovecraft situation of "separate the art from the artist." Lovecraft is a century dead. He's not alive right now, trying to suppress records of his yacht visiting Epstein Island and swearing to make the lives of millions of ppl unlivable.

"Such statements, commonly made about autistic children who were assigned female at birth, rely on ableist beliefs about autistic people’s incompetence & presume that cisgender and neurotypical people know us better than we know ourselves." TL;DR JKR is an ableist TERF & supporters should fuck off

it's about so many of us "Further, we are horrified to learn that Rowling has chosen to double down on her initial statements by questioning whether or not autistic children are being manipulated into falsely believing that they are transgender."

this is the way

sorry i never responded to your email, i didn't want to and then i forgot

oh so TSA agents are being pieces of shit FOR FREE

Ah, another of Prof. Uta's regular, "The world moved on & I don't like it" articles, claiming that autism is a disease, & inferring most autistic women are likely misdiagnosed - not autistic, that if you can manage a conversation you're not autistic, & there's no such thing as masking. Oh dear.

“…men report higher levels of closeness to women friends than men friends, while women report lower or equal levels of closeness to men friends than women friends,”

understanding that we are autistic is like a radically new set of glasses & if you’re asking us to take the glasses off, we’re likely to have a trauma response Would you try to take my glasses from me if I were undetected as nearsighted for 38 yrs? Do you understand why I would NEVER let you?

I know I don't have to tell any of you here that ICE is deployed at the airports because he wants everyone to know that they are his personal police force and that he will deploy them anywhere at will.

sometimes things FEEL wrong therefore something IS wrong because perception is reality! sometimes things FEEL wrong & there is no detectable disorder, disease, or injury & your medical status is STABLE which is NOT to say "nothing is wrong" SOMETHING feels wrong SOMETHING *is* wrong! AND -

paraphrased from someone's IG post: doctors, all we want is for you to tell us that you'll help us figure out what's wrong. we come to the appointment anxious and ask, is it A, B, C? And you can tell us, no! I don't think it is. BUT we'll help you figure it out. We'll figure it out together. uhh 🤦‍♀️

As a life coach, I prioritize clients who are marginalized. Being neurodivergent, mentally & chronically ill, and (collective) trauma-informed allows me to help you when mainstream approaches to healing are not enough. Free consults at defiantlifecoaching.com

This is how @audhd-psychnp.com prepares water for her plant family.

looking forward to hearing Shaheen & Hassan speak up on this issue they care about probably more than pretty much everything else

good.

Among the chaos, nearly all NH House Republicans voted against the will of the people to kill a constitutional amendment to protect same sex marriage. My heart breaks for the queer community. These protections are desperately needed right now. I am with you, always 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #NHpolitics #NH01 #lgbtq

There was so much about active learning that I loved & SO much that made me anxious when I was in school (& in-person) Nursing school clinicals were different I’m talking role playing for US history class Great research examining the comparative wisdom & aspects of these teaching methods!

I am a member of the Autistic Autism Diagnostician Collab (and on the website team so TBA but) We were accepted for an oral presentation at INSAR in Prague in April I already couldn’t go but I am very worried about all this Some collab members may see this I don’t wanna put it in the discord but

Here's another photo of the year candidate from Getty contributor Megan Varner:

Here’s the link to donate to local organizers who want to make sure we can have a safe and compliant event on Saturday after being unexpectedly asked to come up with over a grand in additional fees. Can you help?

🚨BREAKING: Steve Bannon suggested that President Donald Trump deployed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to major U.S. airports as part of a “test run” for using them to meddle in upcoming elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I feel like I can't be as ridiculous on here with my gov't name & headshot not because I'm like, weirded out by the transparency, all that's fine. I'll stand by a bad skeet. I just feel like it's not as funny when it was a pic of my grandmother holding a rifle the snark hit different for me, maybe

Hey yall, the state of NH is trying to throw a wrench in our No Kings on Saturday with unexpected (never before expected) permitting fees. Can you help? Here’s the local org’s instagram post about it:

someone I know was supposed to fly from the east coast to the west coast they're a white person, one who "tries not to think about politics", who speaks only English and it is without an accent you'd wonder about, and is a legal resident but NOT a citizen they are not flying I am relieved the end

I gave a presentation back in January and have been struggling to reduce the file size of the slides so I gave up and hosted it on my website & thought I'd share Neuro-Affirming Terms in Clinical Practice (plz be gentle, I realized it was 2 hrs instead of 1 hr after I thought it was done already)

I'm working REALLY hard on trying to make the Jewish community a more inclusive place for autistic and other disabled members of our community. Please share my upcoming seminar with your rabbi, synagogue staff, board members, and leaders. www.theautisticrabbi.com/seminars

Rather then spending millions on eradicating autistic people, perhaps the money should be spent on supporting autistic people Why do journalists insist on publishing nonsense like this without presenting any context?

“Autistic respondents were also more likely to have a diagnosis of several co-occurring physical health conditions, including dysautonomia/POTS, Chronic Fatigue/ME, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.” #AutRes My caseload feels disproportionately plagued with autoimmune & dysautonomic disorders!

“Autistic people actively assess risk and relational trust in deciding when and how to stim, revealing stimming as a socially negotiated act shaped by safety, disclosure, and belonging.” #AutRes

It's still too cold and frosty here for wildflowers outside, but I do have this new monstera leaf, inside 🔥 #WTFucculent the world is stressful so I look at leaves foliage is a cope I don't know what else to tell you

I think of lawn darts often when contemplating the consequences of AI

My child is fading before my eyes, and my heart is breaking 💔 I watch him grow weaker, feeling helpless and lost. I don’t want to lose him as I lost my niece—this pain is unbearable. He urgently needs treatment, but I can’t afford it…Please, any help could save his life🙏😭 chuffed.org/project/mahm...

It's a strange thing, because Americans cannot imagine the reality of being bombed like we do to others. We got bombed, so to speak, by another country, once and it completely changed everything. And yet we nevertheless live through constant daily barrages of gun fire that we metabolize as not war.

jim jones had a 100% approval rating from all those people who drank the koolaid too

yall remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? we need a version of that campaign for AI usage

Autism research weighs ideology against evidence. Let data drive questions, not factions. Will diverse methods guard against politicized conclusions? Compassion guides science.

are they taking applications?
