Marginalised people who are protected by the Equality Act can face resentment from colleagues at work. They think we have an unfair advantage and 'play the disability/race card'. The reality is that under-employment, discrimination and harassment are far greater than is ever reported.

Disabled people can now report media coverage that scapegoats and stigmatises them and contributes to the hostile environment many of them face in their daily lives, thanks to a new campaign. #InclusionLondon #DisabilityMediaAction www.disabilitynewsservice.com/new-campaign...

Lucy Powell saying that #oracy is what makes us human. This isn't just marginalising for several groups, it's blatantly dehumanising.

Workplace culture prefers neurotypical communication style. As autistic employees we're often not fully appreciated for our skills and talent because of this.

One of the worst things about being #actuallyautistic is perpetually being misunderstood 😕

Exactly this. The Needs-led model doesn't give vulnerable people legal protection. Employers and schools will have even more of an excuse for not making reasonable adjustments. Accommodations will be seen as optional where funding is short. It's extremely naive to think Needs-led is a solution.

Of all the neurodevelopmental conditions in DSM, the Mental Health Review just targeted two. Autism and ADHD. The govt is only bothered when they're concerned about costs. #autism #ADHD

Mental Health Review report. I can't imagine how it feels for autistic & ADHDers & their families on the waiting list right now or seeking an assessment. The gov't is removing legal protection for masses at all ages. We need to be vocal when the Needs-led approach doesn't work. #neurodiversity

Mental Health Review Report: "Increasing participation in relationships, education, work, family and community life should be a central outcome and measure of success." Agree, but by which criteria? Success for one may be harmful to another. Risk of neuro-normativity national standards here.

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.

Capitalism loves monotropism for productivity until monotropism becomes a force for clarity and social justice. #autism #monotropism

Watching Celebrity Traitors I'm clueless about their intentions and motives. I have to ask my partner to explain it and watch Uncloaked. Makes me realise how vulnerable we are in competitive environments and why we get eaten alive in the workplace. #autism #actuallyautistic

Support for autism and ADHD isn't just about practical things and self- awareness. A diagnosis helps (or should help) friends, family, colleagues, teachers understand reasons for behaviour so *they* can adjust their expectations and own behaviour. This improves relationships.

When people say "best version of yourself" it usually means conformity and normativity. If it means a neurodivergent person has to forego their authentic self, it's blatantly ableist.

Really it’s 57 & prob counting but hey here’s some emails of Cornell 7 that were discovered. I don’t want them burdened by any means

To every man appalled by the Cornell gang rape saying they want their daughter to be protected, tell yourself if you have one 'I have a son' and teach them not to grow up like these cunts. #CornellRapists

'Neurodivergent' is a useful umbrella term to describe ppl who's processing doesn't fit the neuromajority. But using it atm resources are being provided misses nuances in support needs. Those who want labels dropped use it so they don't have to say autism/ADHD. Hijacking the neurodiversity movement🙄
