On #AutismDay2023, we call for better inclusion and participation of autistic people in society, to address widespread biases and stereotypes, and ensure that they receive the individualised support they need – Council Statement: bit.ly/3nz9Ihf

👉🏼 82% of autistic people in France🇫🇷 are unemployed - Unconscious discrimination and cognitive biases can’t be controlled but their effects can be limited @VincentGrimaldi

We need to focus on the inherent abilities of autistic people - we need the diversity and help develop & build on the skills to create a truly inclusive society. The need for purpose / sense of belonging and meaningful work that contributes to the well-being of all in society.

The job interview. The nemesis of many as talent is being wasted. No easy solutions but things like scripts can help. 'Selling your talents' and outwardly displaying confidence are also key (but difficult to teach).
“Because of perceived differences (little eye contact, no small talk to break the ice, etc), unfamiliar observers with autism judge candidates with autism as awkward after only few seconds” @VincentGrimaldi

Nothing better to break false believe than reaching out to science: “there is no link between IQ, severity of autism and quality of life”
Being autistic doesn’t make you unhappy, let’s stop being patronising. Thanks 🙃
“There is no scientific proof of a link between IQ, severity of autism and quality of life…contrary to what most people think we should make changes not from ‘less autistic’ but ‘autistically happy’”
@Peter_Autisme amazing presentation 👏🏽

Everyone can get anything with the right support. That is why it is so important to provide individualized support to autistic people. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to address their needs
Thank you @DavidLega for your words and your work at the Disability Intergroup

Like Saul before his encounter with Christ, we need to change course, to invert the route of our habits and our ways, in order to find the path that the Lord points out to us: the path of humility, fraternity and adoration. #ChristianUnity

Bar Yehudi Shahar at #AECongress19 : if you want to include autistic students, don't fix the student, fix the school system. Well said! – at Nice, France

Learnt so much from @lilacCourt's talk at #AECongress19. Take homes: (1) there's vast variability in language and communication skills, so we need a clear understanding of a child's profile - finding out which skillsets are impeding success and focus on those; (1/3)
