Have NCPS yet informed their members that the organisation left the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy in 2022? It is intolerable if members *still* don't know. @prof_standards
Judy Singer's hatefulness also torpedoed any goodwill the autistic and #neurodiversity communities once felt towards her; she has since been embraced by anti-ND grievance parents. Don't let transphobia eat your brain! Also: Thanks to @19thnews for including image descriptions!

Judy Singer was once known as "The mother of Neurodiversity." However, transphobia has since derailed Singer's thinking—& her bigotry led to the eruption of long-simmering rumors about how she misrepresented her supposedly formative role. By @slooterman: 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
This is really shocking - no professional body should be doing anything as huge as withdrawing from the Memorandum of Understanding on Conversion Therapy without so much as informing members.

"Honestly, if the world was built for your wiring, it would be a much better place. There’d be a lot less overhead lighting, for starters.” From the novel Cassandra in Reverse, by autistic author @HolSmale. Read @scrappapertiger's book review at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2023/05/the-ca…
This is an important ruling and MBs need to take note. #TherapistsConnect

Machine Gun Etiquette. Many years ago a far-sighted town planner chose these fibreglass street lamp covers from a supplier. Now the local Great Spotted Woodpeckers have discovered them. Audible at 500m & the habit seems to be spreading locally. (Video Andrej Cunja).
THIS. That is all!

"There can be an immense sense of pressure, especially in time-limited therapy, to dig right into sometimes deeply painful experiences that [autistic] monotropic processes might find hard to put down again from week to week." From @scrappapertiger: medium.com/@sonnyhallett/…

Image reads: I don’t see these ideas as being ‘accommodations’ or ‘adjustments’, because they shouldn’t ideally be tacked on to a normative way of working in therapy — I’m not suggesting that we just add a small wildflower patch to a lawn for the bees. (1/2)

CASSANDRA IN REVERSE, my adult debut, is out today in glorious, neon paperback!! To celebrate, I’m giving away THREE COPIES here and three on Insta! To win, like, retweet and comment with your fave three emojis. Available in all good book shops and supermarkets NOW. 💕💓💕

You hate when neurotypicals read into what you're saying, but some of you have been perfectly content to project all sorts of bizarre shit onto me that I did not say. Some "community."
You want me to prioritize a hypothetical man's intentions and feelings while ignoring my own experiences, needs, and history. You want me to politely take it, never expressing any displeasure in any venue. Isn't that inauthetnic? Isn't that masking? Thought you guys hated that.
Now that I’ve had more time to process, it hurts that so many of you could only see me as an evil scold who is robbing men of autistic joy, not as someone who has had her own autistic joy repeatedly crushed and dismissed, and who doesn’t like when her fellow autistics add to it.
If people are open to talking about autism vs mansplaining now, I'll add my own less pressing but still pertinent take: As an autistic woman who's had every interest and expertise explained to her at length, I don't care either way. The impact on me is the same.
@fodderfigure I think it also takes agency from autistic men. Like, yeah as autistic people we might be predisposed to info-dump but that image implies we're not capable of understanding that info-dumping might not be appropriate in some situations and trying to remember to check first.
Weird how no one who is mad at me has put together that, if a man is info dumping to me and does not care to hear me info dump in return, he is hampering *my* autistic communication style in addition to my need to be taken seriosuly. So why am I the only bad guy here?
I worked as a music journalist in the 2000s. I wrote about MMA in the 2010s. I was a personal trainer for a bunch of that time. I'm a wrestling fan. Do you have any clue how tired I am??
I haven't told anyone what to do here. I'm not your boss. I'm not your mom. I have not advocated for any punishment or behaviour in response. I made one friendly suggestion for better engagement if you want that. All I want is the ability to be annoyed by what annoys me.
I own a (somewhat irrational) number of Judas Priest shirts. I wear them out. If a man says he likes my shirt, I will reflexively reply "Thanks, I've interviewed Rob Halford three times." I'm not trying to be an asshole. That's just the only preemptive strike that works.
And if a person responds weirdly or cooly to your outreach, maybe they're not an asshole, maybe they just have their own history with this stuff.
Instead of lecturing them or quizzing them, talk to them. And then—and this is key—you also have to listen and care about what they say on the topic in return.
We talk a lot about presuming competence in autistic circles. If you are genuinely excited to talk about something you care about with someone else who looks like they might, too, then you can apply it here. Reach out to them as a peer.
And if you find yourself struggling with this at all, think about it this way: How would you feel if I just started monologuing to you right now about your special interest? Like you couldn't possibly know anything about it or have your own ideas?
