A professor has arrived, cape 'n'all to judge what we haven't 'run'. With his OBE. And his blue tick. And his absence of understanding of autism. Cheesus. @Autism
13y/o: I didn’t know this is what neurotypical people meant.
The noise (horrible acoustic environments, spiralling volumes). The new people. So many new people. The small talk. The dress ‘requirements’ (black tie, fancy dress, … all ignored anyway). The lack of escape spaces.
The noise (horrible acoustic environments, spiralling volumes). The new people. So many new people. The small talk. The dress ‘requirements’ (black tie, fancy dress, … all ignored anyway). The lack of escape spaces.
Note to non-autistic people: When an autistic person tells you they're anxious of going to some social event, never ever tell them, “You'll be fine. Just be yourself,” because YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
People have asked me to summarise everything above with guidelines for self-treatment if you have sensory overstimulation, so I hastily did that here. It's audio only, no transcript. There's a LOT more to say, but this could get some people started. youtu.be/Osb1Ll9YYbA
Some autistic people suffer from sensory hypersensitivity for their entire lives, because nobody is treating it. It is urgent that medical practitioners who work with autistic patients should be made aware of this.
[THREAD] TREATING SENSORY OVERLOAD This is really old news, but it seems that many people who follow me don't know about it, so I am posting it again.
In some ways Laughing Boy is a sequel to All Our Children. 1945 didn’t bring an end to the dehumanising of young people who are, supposedly, ‘different’. @sarasiobhan ❤️
Me and 14 are off to see Laughing Boy at Jermyn Street theatre. Long old train journey and we have ‘different’ ideas about being prepared to be on time. For me, very stressful not to be early 😖. For her, time is just a concept 😑. We made it. jermynstreettheatre.co.uk/show/laughing-… #LaughingBoy
Your daily reminder that NHSE expects some first year doctors to hear where they are placed as late as 4 July (or even tba) and be ready to start work in this unknown destination w/c 22 July. Still no explanation from NHSE of how this has been allowed to happen. 1.n
Safety in the cockpit isn’t a solo act - neither is Tea for Two. #SafetyStartsWith2 Is an international campaign, and we’re grateful to @eu_cockpit and @IFALPA for their support. You can learn more about the campaign against RCO at safetystartswith2.com.

@1917AndAllThat @MrDavidScales This is a problematic and ableist statement. It doesn’t communicate listening or belonging if it makes the person less likely to process what they’re hearing and ergo less likely to engage with the class. This is what neurotypical people expect, but it has detrimental impact /
@MrDavidScales I have a problem with eye contact - autistics and ADHDers don’t do eye contact and this affects their processing ability. I’m an academic in my 40s with doctorate and in my teaching I don’t do straight eye contact. Never had any problems. What’s the basis for eye contact?
@MrDavidScales This makes me feel really, really sad. I work with SEN kids in mainstream. Way to make them feel excluded and pressured. Also it’s so GREY and dictatorial. There’s no love, warmth or care.
@MrDavidScales As an autistic scholarship-winning pupil, now nearly 60, I say NOOO, this would not have helped me at school, and thank goodness they didn't demand all that of me back then! Aaaaaaargh!
Admit to feeling very sad about the world of patient safety at the moment - some big egos, self promotion & disingenuous behaviours - whilst voices that should be heard seem to be sidelined. Sadder still to see people I respect who must know & see this - but don't challenge it.…
1. Impairment, combined with 2. Societal barriers.
Disability isn't simply about deviation from some statistical mode, median or norm, and it isn't necessarily about being part of a minority. The understanding which we have according to the #CRPD and other reference texts is that there are two main aspects to disability:
Do other autistics find writing the social nicety preamble of emails utterly exhausting? I could do with a menu of neuronormative bs intros to choose from.
Then there's “Be myself? MYSELF?! I have no idea who I am or how to do that. Which part of me? My morning self? The me that I am when I go to the shop? Or the me that I am with dogs? Oh! Dogs! They have dogs, thank God. I'll play with their dogs outside.”
Note to non-autistic people: When an autistic person tells you they're anxious of going to some social event, never ever tell them, “You'll be fine. Just be yourself,” because YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
- Anxiety in social situations that's not due to the social aspects of the situation (which would be associated with social anxiety disorder). For example, with distinct anxiety, it could be due to a disruption in routine... or the environment causing sensory overload
- Anxiety tied to autistic stims... not being able to access stimming activities that are typically done for self-regulation and comfort - Anxiety tied to others misunderstanding intention or meaning (which is why many autistic people often "over-explain")
People have asked me to summarise everything above with guidelines for self-treatment if you have sensory overstimulation, so I hastily did that here. It's audio only, no transcript. There's a LOT more to say, but this could get some people started. youtu.be/Osb1Ll9YYbA
Some autistic people suffer from sensory hypersensitivity for their entire lives, because nobody is treating it. It is urgent that medical practitioners who work with autistic patients should be made aware of this.
Note: Occupational and behavioural therapies have a place, but they can be a hopeless waste if you are employing them instead of addressing an urgent internal medical problem. (Note: #ABA in the manner that it is typically used for autistics, is abuse.)
Did you know there's a type of anxiety specific to autism that isn't explained by any of the anxiety disorders currently included the DSM? Researchers are referring to this type of anxiety as "Distinct anxiety" because it's distinct to autism and tied to autistic traits.
[THREAD] TREATING SENSORY OVERLOAD This is really old news, but it seems that many people who follow me don't know about it, so I am posting it again.
In 2014, I made this video for the South Asia International Autism Conference in New Delhi. In the last 20 minutes, I explain the basic physiology of sensory overload, based on what I learned from my friend Benjine Gerber. youtube.com/watch?v=cw1dEj…
