Thx for your kind word and big thx u @Stigmaphrenia_1 for agreeing to collaborate and letting speak to your brilliant material today
I found this explanation of the “Autistic Experience” excellent to represent the difference in individuals and how this may change over time. Thanks to @GeorgeMatuska @rcpsychGAP #rcpsychgap23

“Autistic academics are increasingly involved in #autism research, but most… undertaken by non-autistic academics. All members of this project team are autistic. With researchers & survey respondents all being autistic, this is a rare example of a fully #autistic project”👇🏻

Yesterday we protested CAMHS don’t care if Autistic kids die at Downing St. We presented my petition of 204k signatures to number 10, Damien did so well and made a statement about his feelings on CAMHS and what he wants to see as a result of submitting the petition. +

Why have you not replied to Autistic people who have asked about the content and context of this talk?

“Autistic traits can present differently depending on who you are…Fidgeting in Black girls could look like taking out her braids and putting them back in or something else to do with her culture that's overlooked." 💜

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/neurodiv…

Please amplify,RT & show @HiltonHotels & @HIRegentsPark that enabling cults & psychological abuse to happen on their watch via hosting the #LandmarkForum is ill-advised at best & unethical, irresponsible & dangerous at worst. #IGotOut #StopEnablingAbuse #HiltonDitchLandmarkCult
Replying to @PriscillaEyles
Hi @HIRegentsPark, I wonder if you were aware that the event you are hosting in Nov 10-12 & 14th is enabling a destructive org, Landmark Worldwide, to covertly psychologically manipulate vulnerable people?In many cases partiptg leads to psychosis,psych breakdowns & even suicide?

PSA: I would implore all #ActuallyAutistic people to use the words "marginalized genders" whenever you think about saying "autism in women and girls." Autistic trans people exist and if even our *own* community keeps forgetting to include us, we'll never get anywhere.

@aucademy has the highest concentration of useful stuff I've found. It's all Autistic-run, and they cover a much broader range of topics than you're likely to find anywhere else.
