My NT 5 yo was upset, my Austistic 3 yo watched him for a while and out of the blue said 'what happened?'.First time he has ever said it. 5 yo stopped crying in surprise, hugged him then they both started laughing.The love between them is breathtaking #Autism #Christmas #empathy

Both these things. Well said Lyric and @Logicdivilment. The World is changing, so I am feeling hopeful this #ChristmasEve x.com/Logicdivilment…

Merry #Christmas2017 everyone! Huge thanks to all the wonderful #actuallyautistic people who have shared their thoughts and insight on Twitter this year. Helping me understand my #autistic son, but also giving me a wiser perspective on life and the world! #autism 🎄♥️🎄♥️

I had a small melt down earlier. I am fine now but it got me thinking about how awful I would feel if someone punished me for that.. I now feel exhausted from all of the energy & I feel almost ill from the after effect. Melt downs are involuntary & should not be punished #autism

#Sleep is essential for a person’s physical/ mental health & cognition. Yet around 80% of #autistic individuals do not get enough sleep. We aim to understand sleep patterns/hygiene through testing +interviewing #autistic #teens . If you are a parent+want to know more DM me :) x.com/AT_Autism/stat…

Wow, big shout out to Graphic Flavour, selling reward stickers with real pics of trains on them. My #autistic son adores them! Makes him so happy. #autism #asd #trains #pottytraining

1. You try getting a diagnosis without evidence. 2. Autism is not equivalent to 'bad behaviour'. 3. Parent blaming is really not a good look. So - why stigmatise a discriminated against minority? Sensationalist nonsense. x.com/thismorning/st…

This is so important, especially for those who do not understand why Functioning labels do not describe #ActuallyAutistic children and adults. Do not limit your children because of your own prejudice and lack of Autistic education. x.com/NeuroRebel/sta…

In asking for consultations from the #ActuallyAutistic community, I realized why there might be some confusion. No one would have to actually come to the set. We'd be happy to email people dailies (the bits we film any given day) and they could watch from their computers.

Thinking about international women's day this week. If I had to pick one inspirational woman it would be Dr. Temple Grandin. Taught me so much about humanity, perseverence& finding your own path through her writing & films. #inspiration #autism #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2018

Today we are enjoying MuseumofLondon in Docklands. Wooden trains & quiet spaces. Thanks for wonderful day! #autism #londondaysout
