Do my #ActuallyAutistic comrades feel well supported by their families? #AskingAutistics

Controversial question: why is "the world is full of idiots", a common thread? Had a colleague tell me today - "I need you to defocus from people." She could see me get more and more and more frustrated the more people couldn't see what I was saying.

Last new @unstandardizedE episode of 2023! Talking to a group of brilliant students about the way they were unfortunately mistreated at a conference when presenting on race and language. They're out there doing the work. Enjoy, and happy holidays! playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=CDL88632784…

Autism is a very wild developmental disorder. Its like the wild mushroom of disorders because you dont know what you about to get out the muthafukka.

it’s a good time to check your settings for auto-playing videos, there are some horrific ones on the tl today 😔 (i’ve always had mine set to never auto-play and it “somehow” -cough elmo cough- got switched to “when on wifi” 😡)

Instead of going to therapy people are out here trying to bring measles and tooth decay back

There was a time, pre-Elon, when Twitter was great for breaking news. A major event is unfolding in New Orleans, and I can barely find it here.

Dr Russell Barkley, my favourite #ADHD expert has just recommended a TED Talk on ADHD that was given by a friend of mine—both videos well worth your time!! Please share ✌️✌️ (here’s Dr Barkley’s short vid—direct link to my friend’s talk in 1st comment) youtu.be/J9XSwY49o6s

This is a talk for ADHDers from an NT—not more “have you tried trying??”, but instead understanding and love ❤️ youtu.be/axIDDiZsM78?...
