If at least one of these statements is true for you, then you are disabled, and the UN Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities (#CRPD or #UNCRPD) was designed to promote your rights. 10/
Most of them say this because they don't understand what disability really means. They think that saying you are disabled is the same as calling yourself inferior. This is a wrong idea about disability. 3/
Disabled doesn't mean the same as 'unable'. Disabled doesn't mean you can't do anything at all. It also doesn't mean you're worse than everyone else at everything. You may even be better than most people at some things, and still be disabled. 4/

Gambians living in sweden tweeting pro FGM with children in their homes… just know reports have been made. I may not still be an activist but I will report anyone endangering any child on swedish soil and proudly standing on it. That swedish passport you hold comes with rights…
Do you know how many cases are open of swedish children taken back home for FGM to be performed in Gambia and returned here? I dont play I will report and have reported those I can verify online as swedish citizens. And if I know you are based in other European countries i will…
You lot are brazen backwards sadists who have no grounds in religion nor culture but seek to come online and sit in countries you know well and good do not allow this and still uphold bastard behavior. Nah… take the L and hands off childrens bodies.
@AfricanAutists My north American mother specifically tried fad diets she read in articles and magazines to magically cure me of my (undiagnosed) autism, and when that didn't work she used to pray over me. I now have some disordered eating and religious trauma but it's managed ok.
This year's International Women's Day, let us get to recognise the incredible work that women with disabilities have done in advancing inclusion in all walks of life.
Of particular interest as we prepare for neurodiversity week let us recognise the work of neurodivergent women who have stood strong in their advocacy work in bringing change to the world @UbongoKids @AACritPsy @IDA_CRPD_Forum @UDPKenya @UBONGOtz @Kwwdnetwork
Exorcisms in North America. Exorcisms in Africa. Where else are people trying to drive your autism out of you with their harmful rituals, friends?

Parents hitting their children was not part of traditional African culture. It came with colonisation. allafrica.com/stories/201910…
Ways we set our children up to be in abusive relationships: We hit them to “teach” lessons We yell at them We threaten them We don’t honor their feelings We don’t respect their “no” We don’t apologize and make amends when we’re wrong.
More than 10 children per day, on average, have lost one or both of their legs in Gaza since conflict erupted three months ago - @Save_GlobalNews Lifetimes of pain management and medical care will be needed savethechildren.net/news/gaza-more…
Autistic people are bullied a freeking whole lot for our existence and for our autistic traits and it's no secret that we have bone the brunt of physical and emotional abuse as well as struggling with our mental health for years because of that

The negative cultural, religious and stereotypical aspect in Africa has made even worse for autistic people to stay alive and exist in the community thus hindering their livelihoods owing to the fact that we don't fit in

Can you just imagine yourself acting in ways that are unconventional to the average "normal person" (poleni I'm being very layman here yaani kutumia lugha ya mtaa) you become the target of constant judgement, abuse and humiliation from people you live with that don't understand

These are the sad realities of being bullied as an autistic person in an African setting and it gets worse still whereby you have suicidal thoughts and people don't really care about it 😢 💔 They simply want you gone like the wind. POOF

Like for me, theres "before and after knowing". I don't think I was a very good human before knowing. I think I'm getting better at this being human thing post knowing. And I hope to make amends with people I harmed in the before - most were people closest to me.
Whaaaa I'm taken back to my childhood of Coloured aunties calling me rude because I have nystagmus or my personal favourite arrogant because my head cocks to the side when I'm looking at people or things.

Looks like yet more proliferation of the unethical unscientific category "profound autism" in autism research Related note: has INSAR ever had "research integrity" or anything similar as a topic? I don't think so
INSAR just added a “profound autism” topic to its annual meeting program. ASF will offer a limited number of travel awards for scientists presenting work in the new “High Support Needs or Profound Autism” category. The meeting is May 15 -18, 2024 in Melbourne.
@savororaidh No wonder I loved my Wendy house so much 😂
@damonalisaa If I showed you my list of antihistamines, you'd get shocked. As in I'm beyond antihistamines - I have those plus mast cell stabilizers (supplements like quercetin). Yeah - that bad.
If you get a period, here's something to add to that mess. Your PMDD might just be cold intolerance - I got diagnosed with PMDD and asthma that gets worse during periods. So stay warm and covered throughout, with a bunch of antihistamines to accompany that.
@W_Asherah Why have their picture on the milk packets 🙆🏽♀️
In the world's greatest democracy, people have to choose between a genocide supporter and a dictator. And there's no option outside that - you can't just get a better candidate. But they invade other countries to teach them democracy.

So someone has been outed as an abuser of young boys and what you people saw was "gay"? That's where you're going to pitch your shock tent? At the gender of the people he was abusing? Not that they were children?

What the execution of three Israeli hostages inadvertently proves is that the IDF has no rules of engagement, and that its primary task is to kill on sight, with no restraint and no moral guardrails. There is no excuse for this, and no justification.
You know how fucked up it is that the Holocaust happened in 1945 and the emergency in Kenya started in 1957? People fought against the Holocaust in 1945 then employed the tactics of the Holocaust in 1957+. Dude saved Holocaust victims then set up a business in a colony?

Just that ABA is on a WHOLE different level of abuse. ABA is conversion therapy, not a 'behavioral intervention.'
