Reflections of when I contributed to the publication #Girls and #Autism launched 2 Apr 2019. Its Apr 2023, can say no matter how much one can speak of one's lived experiences. Another chapter that is unwritten. #Trauma I am tired! #BlackAutisticGirls

Rolling of the eyes when asking for help for my undiagnosed son 2004. Described as naughty, menace, unruly, referred to numerous parenting workshops made no difference, diagnosed 2008. Mistreated, belittled, wrong advice from everybody. Prejudice, assumptions DESTROYED my home

End racial disparities in maternal deaths - MPs ===> Stopping racist attitudes in the NHS ain’t gonna work overnight. It’s not like flicking a light switch off. Unless govt ditches its unpleasant stance, and instead leads by example, it’ll prob get worse bbc.co.uk/news/health-65…

Please don’t assume that autistic people should “overcome our autism.” It’s incredibly offensive and ableist, not to mention impossible. Being autistic is an inherent part of who we are, which many of us are proud of. #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent

Autism and ADHD Assessments to be Refused ydrf.org.uk/2023/03/26/aut…. This will lead to the suicide of autistic people who need a diagnosis to help them make sense of the challenges that they have faced throughout their lives.

There are so many flaws and disappoints that unfold when your other children are diagnosed years later. The issues I experience with my daughter is more traumatic, lack of understanding, denied services and loneliness. The famous words from the panel! Don't meet criteria #autism

Rather than making it political all the time let's make it accessible and build bridges, acknowledge one's differences and work from there. It starts with the grass roots and going to communities. Paul Isaacs 2023 #autismsupport #autisms #autismspectrum #autismconsultancy

All "autisms/autism fruit salads" have different ingredients - for some it's social emotional agnosia, for others it's dyspraxia, the next faceblindness and the other aphasia. See people as such and healthily acknowledge their humanity.

my "autism isn't the autism" and healthy discourse, agreement and disagreement can be shared without shouting and/or being reactive. Even if one internally doesn't know or experience that reality it still exists.

Are there any charities out there that could help with a grant for washing machine, they have just had to spend what savings they had on getting a diagnosis so they can get the proper help. Just asking for a friend
