“Is comparing the skepticism of autism in high masking women to lobotomies and eugenics an over-exaggeration? […] In light of the history of how the mental health system has treated women, it seems like more of the same.” By Jennifer Cork: www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/neur... #autism #diagnosis

Newspapers tend to focus on autistic challenges, not autistic strengths. This kind of reporting—especially in some tabloids and right-leaning newspapers—can reinforce negative stereotypes, making it harder to build a more inclusive society for Autistic people: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

"The concept of ' #profoundAutism ' is deeply problematic. It risks reinforcing dehumanizing assumptions—that the absence of speech equates to an absence of thought, agency, or interiority, & that Autistic people with CSN are–as the Lancet Commission claims—'unable to advocate for themselves.'" 1/2

Autism is not a disease. You can’t cure autism. "Some people don’t care what we want. They want a cure for autism, and they spend a lot of time and money looking for it. This is bad for autistic people. People should spend time and money helping us live good lives." Words by @autisticadvocacy.org.

No, one group of autistic people is not “eclipsing” others, because NO autistics are getting enough support. NONE. Shame on organizations that let parents with unfounded claims make life harder for autistic people whose struggles are less obvious, but no less real or brutal. #neurodiversity

Neurodivergent Students Don’t Need a Calm Corner, They a Whole Classroom Rooted in Calm, Connection, and Compassion

“Just make a calm-down space in your room!” they say, as if emotional regulation can be solved with a bean bag chair, a glitter jar, and a cute sign that says “breathe.” But here’s what so many people...

The Trump administration says it wants to cut waste, but it's proposing to gut programs that save lives, contain disease, reduce migration, and prevent crises from spiraling into conflicts that threaten U.S. interests—at home and abroad. www.americanprogress.org/article/fact...

I keep seeing this trend on Tiktok where there’s like a random car flipping off road with a British airline ad playing in the background

My function keys on both of my PCs have not been working for some weird reason besides the volume ones, and I don’t even know how to fix this issue

It’s official, Monday rhymes with book.

Open this photo up and look for the small, white dot just left of centre. It looks like Venus, shining brightly in the twilight sky. But it's us. It's Earth. From Mars.
