The CDC revises autism rates in children age 8 from 1-in-44 to 1-in-36 (based on 2020 data). Hooray for narrowing diagnostic gaps. Imagine if more people understood who they were at earlier ages. “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood,” - #MarieCurie

We’ll be at Chico State tomorrow (Friday) to celebrate Autism and Neurodiversity Acceptance Month. 🎉❤️♾️

My friend Pedro (pedro) texted me this. He’s a huge heavy metal fan and this text is one of the best texts that I’ve ever received from a neurotypical friend. ❤️😘♾️🎶 Cc: Autistic heavy metal fan Eric Michael Garcia #AutRock

Today, I was presenting online about #neurodiversity in the workplace when sensory issues started causing cognitive issues and my speech slowed (Hi! I’m #autisfic! 👋) My #neurotypical colleague was able to present my slides until I could speak. That’s neurodiversity in action!

BIG NEWS (and a huge weight of responsibility): I’m co-authoring ‘Neurodiversity for Dummies’ for Wiley Publishing. This is meant as an easy-to-understand guide to neurodivergent conditions from an empowerment frame. Publishes in March 2024, but is available for preorder today.

Hooray, #neurodiversity! New Saturday Night Live cast member Chloe Troast giving an online tour of her dressing room: “We got a ton of junk over here… all my crocheting. Need some noise-cancelling headphones - #neurodivergent queen! We got a bunch of Girl Scout cookies…” 🧶♾️🎧👑🍪

It’s here! After a year of writing, I received my author copies of #NeurodiversityForDummies today! Go-ahead and pre-order (below) to receive your copy by our March 19 publish date. And THANK YOU ALL for your encouragement and support! ❤️♾️🙌 For Dummies

#Autism #AutismAcceptance #Neurodiversity

People have been asking, and I’m excitement to announce that #NeurodiversityForDummies will be available for download as an #audiobook on July 30, 2024. 🎉🎧📖 You can pre-order here: a.co/d/7c7NHfz For Dummies

I just donated! Will you? Please take just five seconds to do so if you can. Chris is an extraordinary (humble) LEADER on #neurodiversity and #autism. Chances are your life has been blessed by his. Please take a moment to lift this incredible human and family up! ❤️♾️
