Ashley Storrie's autistic experience, reflected in her Hulu show Dinosaur, which you really should see: "I would get report cards that said, 'She just has to try harder. She just has to apply herself more,'" even though she was "trying my absolute best." thinkingautismguide.com/2024/04/talkin…
These are photos of a tent where Rajab, a 49-year-old man w. a disability and father of 7 children, lives in Rafah. He texted me yesterday that the soaring heat in Rafah has been unbearable with 37 degrees Celsius outdoors & scorching heat inside the tent.
Autistic burnout “is grossly under-recognized, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and prevention.” What we need are valid measures—to determine accurate prevalence, inform effective diagnosis, and get people appropriate support. Per new research: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/au…
A very important read!
We kind of buried the lede, but I wish more people were reading this because the quotes we got from Judy Singer are astonishing. 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
“We may not know what other ppl are feeling if they don’t tell us because autistic ppl may not be good at reading body language or other kinds of subtle social cues. But that doesn’t mean we don’t care what ppl are feeling.” @autselfadvocacy’s Zoe Gross: usatoday.com/story/news/202…
Archiving neurodiversity movement is responsibility & privilege. @autimodo recently published origins of neurodiversity (he told me long ago he may have but didn’t manage to look), which led to an academic letter to the editor a group of us wrote, & now this article quoting us.

A parent of a high-support autistic adult and an autistic professor discuss why #ProfoundAutism is not a helpful label. Instead they "propose personalized services for all Autistics" to reflect the diversity of autistic abilities and support needs. autismspectrumnews.org/we-are-all-on-…
I credited #JudySinger with coining the term ‘neurodiversity’ in error. I have found evidence that the #neurodiversity concept was fully formed on my online autistic-run group ‘InLv’ as early as October 1996, well before Singer's 1998 thesis. inlv.org/2023/07/13/neu…

“The rest of us were tired, and it wasn’t worth the fight. But her attacks against some of the most marginalized among us were impossible to ignore,” said [@autimodo]. 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
“What’s really interesting to me is that she wasn’t sure if she coined #neurodiversity until it was proven that she didn’t. And now she’s really certain that she did,” @Eidle_Ira said. 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…
“To support autistic youth in reaching their maximum potential and achieving their goals during emerging adulthood and beyond, it may be helpful to widen our focus from promoting independence, to promoting independence & interdependence.” journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13… #Neurodiversity
Once again, people with legitimate disabilities are having Disney park access taken away because non-disabled people are exploiting accommodations and overburdening the access system. Sigh. At @washingtonpost. wapo.st/4cVLu6i
"Language is a powerful means for shaping how people view autism. If researchers take steps to avoid ableist language, researchers, service providers, & society at large may become more accepting and accommodating of autistic people." @KristenBott et al: liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10…

"We all need autonomy. If we don’t get it one way, we will look for it elsewhere. If you don’t let [ppl] say autonomous things they will exert their autonomy another way & this may be thru body language, resistance, avoidance—even challenging behaviours." twowaystreet.com.au/2021/10/09/the…

"Since autism was first identified by researchers, deficit discourses have pervaded descriptions of autistic research participants. In fact, some interpretations of research findings have tacitly or explicitly questioned the humanity of autistic people"
"Language is a powerful means for shaping how people view autism. If researchers take steps to avoid ableist language, researchers, service providers, & society at large may become more accepting and accommodating of autistic people." @KristenBott et al: liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.10…
I’m delighted to share that I’ve been promoted to a Research Assistant Professor position at @TGen. I’m excited for this new chapter and to continue to work with my amazing colleagues at TGen, @cityofhope, and beyond. A million thanks to @NeBanovich and the whole lab.

@slooterman @MaryRusselldoc On InLv, Singer had “AS traits”. In her 1998 thesis: "switching between AS and NT depending on the needs of the moment". From 1999-200?, she ran ASpar, for NT victims of autistic parents. Autistics weren't allowed. aspar.wordpress.com 2016: "I don't identify much anymore".
@DarcyCantin @thinkingautism He has written and spoken for years about autistic men potentially not making good fathers. There have been various issues for a long time.
Came to class with my end of the semester project and half the class didn’t have theirs. Professor let those of us who had ours choose what we wanted to do. We said to push the due date cause community.
@drstevenkapp @DarcyCantin @thinkingautism How utterly ironic and hypocritical of him, since he most likely IS an autistic father (helloooo!) and autism is HIS special interest!
Pefect article for me this month...cheers @thinkingautism 👍
Autistic wisdom on how to make travel work: "If we each plan ahead and choose what to do or where to go based on our known sensory sensitivities, communication preferences and social battery life, every trip has the potential to be perfect just for us." theguardian.com/travel/2024/ap…
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.
@slooterman Brilliant yarn @slooterman. My only interactions with Singer have been strained/before the transphobia stuff and it was odd bc I was trying very hard to be polite even when she was basically sharing “Autism Dark Web” stuff seemingly uncritically.
We're launching the Neurodivergent Peer Support Toolkit (NEST) this summer! ☀️ This is a suite of free resources co-designed with neurodivergent young people & adults to help mainstream secondary schools establish a peer support group for neurodivergent students🌈
@thinkingautism I recommend a little mischief on the grown ups to empower the kids. (Most adults will suspect this one but will be good sports & act surprised.) Elijah's draining cup: tcjewfolk.com/2015/04/02/mid…
The headache caused by barometric pressure was a lesson I had to learn. I thought my son just made up headaches because he hated going out in the rain. The tone of voice thing is one of my biggest challenges in parenting since I am not an unexpressive speaker to put it nicely lol
"If you want to do right by your autistic kid (or any autistic person, really), then please do your best to understand and respect these 11 factors about being autistic." One of TPGA's evergreen posts, please share with people who need good autism info: thinkingautismguide.com/2017/04/eleven…
