Give us clarity, predictability and details wherever possible. The world is a confusing and chaotic place, especially for #autistic people. When you communicate with intention and our needs in mind, you are helping us shed one of the many layers of anxiety that weigh us down EVERY day. #autism

Always good to be reminded of the need for clarity in speech and writing, removing ambiguity, which is important for both accuracy, and the mental health of others.

UK statistics state disabled women are nearly twice as likely to be sexually assaulted as non disabled women. Gisele Pelicot has blazed a trail for women in France. Let’s honour her courage & call out assault culture for us too. #disability #giselepelicot amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/n...

The everyday assault of disabled women: ‘It’s inappropriate sexual touching at least once a month’ | Sexual harassment | The Guardian

They are almost twice as likely to be sexually assaulted as non-disabled women. Why is so little being done to address this harrowing, pervasive problem?

Please join us. Demand better of your fellow man. Loudly condemn these despicable acts. Show us that you’re one of the good guys by being a true ally - not by yelling over us on the internet. Listen. Pay attention. Speak up if you see someone being harmed. We won’t go gently. It’s time for change

My partner and I have been discussing what we’re having for dinner at his parents’ house tonight and sometimes it’s really not hard to figure out which one of us is autistic I do love his quick summary of us: Him: "We'll have to wait and find out 🙂” Me: "We'll have to wait and find out ☹️” #autism

A screenshot of a typed conversation by via a messaging app where I say “Spicy sausage pasta? I wonder if it's spicy sauce with non-spicy sausage, or spicy sausage with non-spicy sauce, or spicy sausage with spicy sauce” and my partner replies “If I had to guess, it'll be spicy sausage with non-spicy sauce... but i'm not 100% sure. I do realise though it's a case of Me: "We'll have to wait and find out :D” You: "We'll have to wait and find out D:”

Thank you @familiarstudy.bsky.social 😊 it's been a learning curve for us both, it feels very strange to be coming to the end of the project after so long. You've got this 🫶🏻🦜

Biggest thanks on this #InternationalDayOfTheVolunteer goes to my long standing Patient Co-Researcher, @libbyhumphris.bsky.social, who has stuck with this project for over 6 years (yes, SIX!). Expertise, encouragement, and comradery. Thank you, Libby 🫶🏻 🦜

Did you see Chrissi last week? A grandmother kinship carer in County Durham who spoke to #5News about stepping in to raise her 4 grandchildren & being forced to give up the job she loved. Our new research shows 6 in 10 kinship carers like Chrissi have to give up work or reduce their hours.
