Research opportunity with @Autism ! We are recruiting a co-design group for a year-long project, researching autistic people's experiences of travel. Please take a look and share. More info/screening questionnaire: smartsurvey.co.uk/s/autistictrav…
@PokerPolitics You would not believe the abuse that kids go through because they were born autistic to ableist parents. Forced to drink bleach (MMS), bleach or coffee enemas, restrictive diets, ABA “conversion therapy.” No shortage of quacks in the autism parent world.
Tremendously clear explanation of how much Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) junior staff (Registered Behaviour Technicians) are taught about autism, for their exams. Er, nothing. Nothing at all. Shall we see what a well-recommended book then teaches RBTs about autism?/
Autistic people: have you ever experienced what you have consider to be harm, in therapy? Do you think this experience was linked to your autism (therapy not suitable, increased vulnerability due to autism) or simply a poor therapist? #TherapyHarm #Autism #AutismTherapy
Remembering the time a psychologist suggested a patient couldn’t be autistic because she had… bonded with her baby… Can anyone beat that?
Social media users have been self-diagnosing with autism because they often put their arms in a so-called T-Rex pose, including in their sleep. Experts say this does not mean a person is neurodivergent & point to autism misinformation on social networks. ow.ly/M3F750R7Kfi
A new study that included 221,714 adults and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (#ADHD) found that those who were prescribed ADHD stimulant medications were at a lower risk of attempting suicide or dying by suicide. forbes.com/sites/anuradha…
Please report anything claiming to 'cure' autism immediately. This is dangerous, predatory and could be illegal - not to mention insulting to hundreds of thousands of autistic people. It's time to stamp out phoney autism 'cures' for good. bbc.in/4aE53hF
Completely agree. Some of our members' children were prescribed antipsychotics for challenging behaviour which was later found to have been caused by pain from easily treatable medical conditions, such as toothache.

Important new paper on #Autistic #women's #health. “A perfect storm”: Autistic experiences of menopause and midlife. From @MirandaJBrady, @AutisticMatters, Julie Gamble-Turner, Rachel L Moseley, @seahorse_19816, @Autism_R_and_D #AutisticElders #Autism journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38619780/ Also new, research reminding us how many autistic children have digestive (gastrointestinal) difficulties causing pain and distress - but teams are busy describing that distress behaviour as a symptom of autism. Or force feeding them. Let's do better.
Um... what does the evidence say about worry boxes, zones of regulation and schools teaching children emotion regulation? PSA: school based interventions can have adverse effects. Mindfulness in schools seemed like a great idea but it bored most kids and made things worse for…

Really looking forward to this talk at @RCSI_Irl tomorrow. So much to say, so much to share. The key question is how do we meet the healthcare needs of the Irish autistic community?? And that includes the needs of autistic healthcare professionals in 🇮🇪

More ableism and disability erasure.
Anyone who thinks it’s “easy” to fraudulently claim disability benefits… Go on then, try it. See how far you get before you realise you’re talking shite.
Toxic positivity does nothing but depress & trigger me. Positive phrases will not enlighten me. I can not bear jolly music (to try to change my mindset). Having Hope does not heal me… In fact- It All devastates me. Am I the only one to feel like this?
"That the sector continues to treat disabled students not being able to access their education as anything other than an emergency of that nature is a scandal." Time to stop being reasonable on reasonable adjustment failure wonkhe.com/wonk-corner/ti… via @Wonkhe
I actually love it when I meet an autistic person who's also an angry a**hole - reminds me that autistic people also have individual personalities. Not everything is down to autism.
Excellent piece on Social Communication Disorder inclusion in the DSM 5: it's not really used by clinicians, as other diagnoses tend to be a much better differential fit; it never caught on. For very good reason. spectrumnews.org/opinion/viewpo…

@DudeAdhd Q’aires are not the diagnostic only tool used. They’re an indicator. There should be conversations, diaries / logs etc too.
I don't know how a psychologist, in 1979 when I was 16, pulled borderline personality disorder out of her ass to ultimately diagnose me, a stoic, wallflower, quiet, shy girl AND it's stuck for all these 44 years, no reviewing, just because long ago that one psychologist said so.

@wolfnsunflowers Well that is a new definition for "pathological"/ "extreme" demand avoidance if I have ever seen one! @milton_damian @Allison66746425
When you think you have seen it all, along comes something like this...
Warning this slide may upset: please do read this one @RCPhysicians @bodgoddard Are physicains claiming ME/CFS patients gain from having ME/CFS? I think this slide should form the basis of some complaint on this @NICEComms. "unwanted sexual attentions" really?
@AutisticPsychs I think being harmed automatically indicates a poor therapist, doesn't it? The harm is not due to "my" autism (and ADHD and many other issues). It is due to *them* not being understanding enough.
@PerinatalBirder Reminds me of midwives telling me 12 hours after a caesarean.I couldn’t be Autistic because I wear makeup, didn’t act like one of the midwives (5 year old) nephew and followed by ‘we didn’t think Autistic women had relationships’ 🤦🏽♀️ Errrr.Great, thanks. This is helpful right now

Another study challenging the widely-held view that all #autism is by definition lifelong. Refers to "nonpersistent ASD". 37.1% of children diagnosed with ASD at mean age of 24.6 months did not meet diagnostic criteria at mean age 74.3 months. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37782510/
This. So much. Also infantilizes those of us coming into mental health tx with well-developed skills in the arts & educated, especially when therapists don't want to hear how we already do mindfulness, etc. because what we do isn't on the activity practice list for the day.
Wellbeing cult "activities for mental health" completely ignore the vast amount of historical data displaying extremely talented individuals continuing with "meaningful activities" (art, writing, music) whilst still being clearly unwell in varying degrees.
Don’t believe TikToc/social media! #Autism #Meltdowns are NOT “typical” lose your cool at grocery store & traffic. There’s Not enough talk about Paramedics/police intervention ASD meltdowns. NDM act like it’s just “sensory overload”/instead of neurodevelopmental deficits.
Autism is not a disability. #autismmyths. Equality Act - citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts… #autism
So, excessive internet use, lack of sleep & low parental trust are key factors in school absence. Not depression & anxiety which just might have a similar impact on relationships, sleep, isolation & seeking connection online. Sort yourselves out, parents. tinyurl.com/4vn23b9p
We did a marry, everyone. I appear to have something in my eye... 😭😭😭 This is the moment where I saw SJ for the first time - our "first look". We had a very AuDHD, small, predictable, manageable, authentic day where we only pleased ourselves, and it really worked for us.…
I’m not ‘in this together’ with anyone denying disorders exist, denying #autism is a disorder, denying the spectrum exists, trying to get autism removed from the dsm, or who say there is no level 3 / #severeautism. Low support needs trying to #whitewashautism are the problem
We are in this together, all of us #AllAutistics, hoping for better communication & an improved quality of life for ourselves & our carers. There’s enough money in organizations purporting to care about autism that if just a fraction were redirected to helping autistics /23
