Exactly same with local authorities and nhs health board - never any accountability
Healthcare providers in one of the FB groups I am in are bashing patients who self-diagnose. I’m trying to educate them on why patients do this, how it is valid, how to actually help, etc.. I’m also trying to communicate that it’s problematic to mock this behavior (all while…

'Being singled out for being different has a big psychological effect on our children' Actor Sally Phillips spoke to #BBCBreakfast after her son Olly, who has Down's Syndrome, was prevented from entering a trampoline park without a letter from a GP bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c7…
Anyone else find that they can't concentrate on reading unless they have things printed out? I can read novels but without the ability to highlight/take notes, my ADHD brain can't retain research. I have to print it out and my environmental self feels incredibly guilty... #ADHD

Ableism in society isn't just an oversight - it's a pervasive societal issue that diminishes the value of disabled humans. Recognizing this is the first step toward meaningful change. How have you encountered or challenged ableism in your daily life?
I've just been told by my child's primary school that ear defenders are no longer allowed for autistic/adhd children because they are, "aiming to desensitize the children to noise so they can function in society." I'm sorry, but I'm calling BULLSHIT.
@SethornelgTales Desensitisation = learning to repress pain and reactions to pain = trauma. It's not like the sounds will get quieter or less painful. I'm sorry your child's school don't understand/don't care to learn.
I feel so special when 75% of my "follower" notifications are the "here's a s*xy lady pic that's definitely of her, let's DM!" type
When Autistics and ADHDers express they’re unhappy about something, take what they’re saying very seriously. Often when I speak up people don’t take me seriously, because it’s the first time I’m speaking up and I’ve let a lot pass. But, my first time speaking up is often my last.
The ADHD tendency to have 47(00!) tabs open at one time and get so attached to them we are afraid to close them. Emotional support open tabs are REAL. -Dr. Jen
Any time I have to sit still for a long while, I have to go to the bathroom. I think it's my body's way of getting movement in so I can continue to pay attention. As both kid and adult. As a kid, I can't imagine not being able to get into the bathroom when I needed to. Horrifying

TRAUMA WARNING* Restraints "Daddy, I want a school that will listen to my words" parent quoting their child. Vermont DOE says they work toward trauma informed care and education, but are they? #specialeducation #disabilityrights #Livesinthebalance buff.ly/499PcpN
One of the reasons people don't recognize ADHD as a disability is that they see ADHD struggles (with things like organisation, tidyness, timeliness, communication etc) as personal failings. That is ableism.
Oh, oh, oh so wrong and so sad that this is still a supported perspective by many.

One of the autism diagnostic criteria in ICD10 that bothers me the most is 'adherence to non-functional routines'. It projects NT prejudice so clearly. Those routines absolutely have a clear purpose.
Before people come for me saying “ Well I think of my neurodivergence as a superpower but also find it disabling” .. I’m glad you feel that way. I’m not taking that away from you by simply sharing my experience. Both of our feelings and experiences are valid. ✨
The kind of ADHD and Autism I have aren't superpowers. For me, they're both very disabling. The 'superpowers' so many talk about have made every day for the past 25 years chronically overwhelming and exhausting. I'm fed up with being told I should try and embrace my AuDHD.
I feel like I've spent my entire life not knowing where I belong
Online friends are real friends btw. They're the only true connections many people have... and they're valid. Shoutout to all the amazing people on here who are always so kind and supportive. 💙
Can someone that's good at chemistry and explaining things, explain WHY adderall and meth are two completely different things? I know that they ARE, obviously. But please explain to me like I'm a high school student how the structure and metabolic pathways of them are different?
Neuronormative society is literally people who ask you if you're drunk when you're completely sober because they can't accept that your pure joie de vivre & ability to enjoy life w/ unadulturated wonder is actually possible as a grown adult. They believe joy is only for children.
one of the most hurtful things of learning i am autistic is just how long i spent my life blindly trusting people. thinking that if someone was nice to me that they liked me. and i could trust them. and be open with them. sometimes i cry thinking of that girl who naively
I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative* One texted me later: Holy f*ck The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.
“But ADHD meds are addictive” So that’s why we have to set reminder to take them and often don’t realise we’ve forgotten to have them until we start to feel the effects of our unmedicated minds… Also, treated ADHD lowers risk of addiction massively…
Who else grew up being told “anything is possible if you just apply yourself”, and then applied yourself straight into ADHD burnout?
Healthcare providers in one of the FB groups I am in are bashing patients who self-diagnose. I’m trying to educate them on why patients do this, how it is valid, how to actually help, etc.. I’m also trying to communicate that it’s problematic to mock this behavior (all while…
Now you’re talking to me as if I’m stupid. I was standing up to your lies. Your tweet in reply makes no sense. Where do I say bow to me? I’m not like that. Why should my parents have done better? You just really hate autistic people. Don’t answer. Not interested.
One year ago, a chance discovery involving autism, post-traumatic stress disorder, and monotropism changed my life forever… In the hope of encouraging more proactive awareness, I call on the autism community to recognize today, April 26th, as Autism PTSD Awareness Day. Join me…
What doesn’t kill you can: •dysregulate your nervous system •trap itself in your body •steal your sense of self •make you wish it did I don’t know what “makes you stronger” means but let’s stop glorifying trauma as a life-lesson we’ve been blessed with. -Dr. Jen
Everybody talks about cutting people off but nobody really talks about the grief that comes with having to stand firm on that decision knowing it's not what you wanted but what was necessary for your well-being.
You know what really confuses me as an autistic person? Speed limits. Every time I drive, I feel like my brain is desperately ping ponging between the literal definition of "limit" and trying to make sense of the unwritten rules of the road.
I want to take this moment to thank my followers and supporters for being here with me, during such a difficult time, and for sharing my tweets about #AutismPTSDAwarenessDay . I don’t know where my future will lead. I just hope I have the strength to get there and that it’s…
