After yet another person telling me "but sure we are all a bit on the spectrum", I decided to write a little blog post on the correct language to use when talking about autism. Here it is: #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Autistic #Neurodiversity niamhgarvey.com/2024/04/25/the…
Stoked to have written another blog for @NDConnectionUK! The theme is autism acceptance, in honour of Autism Acceptance Month (also known as Autism Awareness Month). I hope you like it. 😁 ndconnection.co.uk/blog/12-ways-t…
I got news for you, buddy. I was born without the ability to walk, which makes me disabled. It doesn't matter how determined I am, I will never realize my dreams of slow walking away from an explosion with Ryan Reynolds.
@DrAminaYonis And I love how they say ‘people of determination’ instead of ‘disabled or handicapped’

@NDConnectionUK @guardian @sian_boyle @JillCorbyn @charliclement_ Excellent article! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a refreshing perspective to see. Part of the reason I wrote my book ‘Young, Autistic and ADHD’ was the lack of information out there about AuDHD. I’ll be ready to share more soon about my book being released this summer. Watch this space! 👀
The sudden rise of AuDHD: what is behind the rocketing rates of this life-changing diagnosis? theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
I feel like I've just seen a unicorn. Someone has written a newspaper article about increasing recognition of AuDHD that engages with lived experience perspectives and which doesn't scaremonger or 'other' us, or frame the increase as a problem to be solved theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
It seems to be a day of autism and ADHD reporting, here's the guardian on the 'sudden' rise of AuDHD, sudden as it is being paid attention to now, but it's actually always been there, people just weren't looking in the right direction/connecting the dots. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
“I’d already given myself labels… I already thought that I was weird and broken. So having a label that actually made sense and encompassed my experience was so liberating.” Thank you @sian_boyle for having me talk autism, ADHD & “overdiagnosis” 💖 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
"AuDHD is uniquely “cyclical”... with big bursts of energy followed by a crash... The paradoxes can camouflage each other or on the surface at least – cancel each other out, which is why some AuDHDers experience missed or incorrect diagnoses."👍#AuDHDNotPD tinyurl.com/3jn4xb6u
It's about time. We know that being AuDHD is more likely than being singley autistic or ADHD. Anecdotally it may be even more likely if you've been missed as neurodivergent. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…
I’ve said it before and I’ll said it again: no-one goes through a years-long, traumatic, admin heavy, bureaucratic diagnosis process for the sake of it. You cannot build a society where support is based entirely on formal diagnosis then be surprised people want one.
Tomorrow is autism awareness day and the start of autism acceptance week, but please remember that autistic people don’t owe anyone anything! We do not have to participate in the week if we don’t wish to or feel able to.
