[1/4] Tips for folks who want to be good allies during #AutismAcceptanceMonth: 1. Most autistic people prefer to be called "autistic" rather than "people with autism." 2. Listen to autistic people. 3. Avoid demeaning/inaccurate terms like "high functioning" and "low functioning."

We are looking for an #ActuallyAutistic graphic designer to work with us on a logo and banners for social and Web use for the network. While this is a paid opportunity budget is limited as this is currently an unfunded network so please do DM your standard rates if interested.

I wrote this for The Bookseller If it makes you mad, I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better, I'm glad. I hope I will always be allowed to use my voice to say: disabled people, and Neurodivergent people, deserve privacy, agency and the opportunity to hold the microphone.

A phenomenal weekend at #CBIConf22, huge thanks to the team and all the incredible speakers. It felt very good to be #AllTheWayHome once again in the kidlit community today.

The Irish Book Awards last night had several autistic authors shortlisted for awards. Wonderful to see, especially Speechless. There have been quite a few authors who are open about their autism shortlisted in recent years and a few winners too #autisticrep #inclusivepublishing

1/ Just overheard 2 managers talking about me and it appears I’ve been punished for “not talking about it (ABA) positively” since a few months ago when I advocated against it in a meeting for the person I support. #ABAisAbuse #ActuallyAutistic #BetterWaysThanABA

'Locked away: our autism scandal' is the #Dispatches tonight on channel 4 at 730pm. I will be watching and live tweeting as I am sure will many others. Please however, mute the hashtag and signifier 'autism' tonight if it would be triggering for you. Your safety is paramount.

Ok, judging by the reaction, we definitely didn’t say that enough. So here are some other things you may not know: You can browse and reserve items online - ‘click and collect’ but everything is free.
