#autisticcommunity — Public Fediverse posts

The National Autistic Taskforce was founded in 2018 by Dr Dinah Murray to promote justice, autonomy, and meaningful support for autistic people.

Dinah, a much-loved part of the autistic community, was a passionate and principled advocate, researcher, activist, and was quite accurately described as a “productive irritant”.

On Sunday at 14:30 GMT, Jo Minchin and Fergus Murray will explore Dinah’s life, beliefs, and impact. They will also introduce the Founders Award, established by the National Autistic Taskforce to honour Dinah's legacy, and outline the kinds of projects and activities applicants might propose for funding.

Jo Minchin worked with Dr Dinah Murray on the Mental Health Act review in 2017/18 and now works nationally as an autistic consultant. Jo is a Director of the National Autistic Taskforce.

Fergus Murray is a writer, science educator, autistic community organiser and independent researcher. They co-founded Autistic Mutual Aid Society Edinburgh, founded Weird Pride Day, and write, speak and run workshops on neurodiversity.

The presentation is a part of #OnlineAutscape2026, which starts this evening. Registration is still open:

Hello everyone,

#OnlineAutscape2026 “Evolving Autistic Space Online” starts at 6pm GMT today (Friday 6th February), and if you don't already have a ticket, you can still join us!

There is no set registration deadline; we'll keep registration open until the event starts, and even beyond (so don't worry if you're late). Upon registering you'll automatically be emailed all the information you need.

The event runs from 6th to 8th February. We will be using Zoom webinars for the presentations and a dedicated Discord server for our social space. The main page for the event is at:

https://www.autscape.org/2026/online/

Booking your ticket is quick and easy. Please visit:

https://www.autscape.org/2026/online/registration

We're very proud of our incredible international line-up of presenters! The programme schedule is here (and you can switch it to your local time zone):

https://www.autscape.org/2026/online/schedule

But, as always, presentations and workshops aren't all there is to #Autscape. There will be also al sorts of more informal discussions and socialising going on, in text, in the social space on Discord.

Autscape is a genuine #AutisticCommunity event, organised by and for #ActuallyAutistic people. As is Autscape's way, everything is optional: there is never an expectation to participate, you're very welcome to just come and read/observe. And it's #AutisticSpace: being and acting autistic is accepted, welcomed, and even celebrated. But non-autistic people are also very welcome, provided they respect this.

As many of us #autistic people tend to get stuck and struggle with “doing stuff”, we hope that this reminder gives some of you the prompt you needed to join us. See you at Autscape!

On behalf of the Online Autscape organising team and the Autscape board,

Martijn Dekker
Acting chair, The Autscape Organisation

Lack of digital skills can be an obstacle to joining shared autistic online spaces. Kosjenka Petek is a member of an all-autistic team in the European project Digital For All, which has developed peer training of digital skills over the past two years. She is Croatian, a qualified teacher and teacher trainer, and the Programme Director of the association ASK - Self-Advocacy Society Croatia. Her presentation introduces the Digital for All curriculum and the accompanying teaching materials developed to support accessible digital education for disabled and neurodivergent learners.

The presentation will give an overview of the project materials, highlighting areas such as inclusive group formation, curriculum adaptation, formative assessment focused on real-life digital tasks, and standardisation of the recruitment process. It will also address the role of trainers, personal assistants, and assistive technology in creating supportive, safe and accessible learning environments.

On Saturday, we will have two short talks about nomadic networks and collective development of resources..

Betsy Selvam, a neurodivergent artist from Vellore, south India, will explore neuroqueer community-building in online spaces as a nomadic form of belonging. Drawing on Rosi Braidotti’s concept of nomadic subjectivity, Betsy argues that digital platforms used by neurodivergent and queer individuals function as nomadic networks rather than fixed sites. The talk invites audiences to consider how neuroqueer digital networks redefine what community can mean in contemporary culture.

Aut2Aut Founder & CEO, Dr. Gal Schkolnik, an autistic and nonbinary community organizer and activist, will talk about prepped.to, a free website where autistic folks can find sensory information and service instructions before visiting a new place. This is a collective system where the information comes from the autistic users.

Just five days to Online Autscape 2026!

The first day, evening of February 6th, will be all about autistic people and organisations learning and developing in changing online spaces.

👉Event opened by Martijn Dekker, Acting Chair of the Autscape Organisation.

👉Daniel Grahn, Chair of the Swedish association Organiserade Autister (Organised Autistics), who grew up in the emerging online environment and watched it change from what it was to what it is today, talks about his experiences and observations of how the changes have influenced autistic people's engagement in online spaces.

👉Raquel Lebre from Portugal will reflect on what it means to work inside an intentionally autistic-first online space, from the perspective of an autistic employee, exploring how everyday organisational choices shape whether online work supports autistic participation or quietly reproduces neurotypical norms.

👉Luis, an autistic advocate and community organiser, will lead a discussion on how building autism communities can positively support autistic individuals by creating inclusive, peer-led spaces grounded in lived experience. Join in to share your thoughts!

🎆At the end of day, you can join Sparklies in the Dark - bring out your glowsticks, sparklers, LED toys or any other favourite items for a stimmy lightshow. Chat freely with other participants or just de-stress in silence while enjoying the visual spectacle.

I woke up feeling flat. No spark, or real reason. It is a deep deep heaviness that settles in sometimes. A good coffee outside helped. The warmth, the stillness, the routine of of my Monday. That kind of grounding works better for me than trying to force a mood shift.

Tonight I am attending an online group for autistic people. It will be my first time and I have been looking forward to it. One of the things I already appreciate about the neurodivergent community is how much detail is given about events. People actually explain what to expect and list options. They do not assume you will know. That matters to me as I need to know how things will run before I join in. Unstructured situations are exhausting.

This group sounds amazing! You can join with or without your camera. You can speak, or type in the chat, or you can listen if that is what works. I am highly verbal, but speaking can still be hard. Sometimes the words are in my head, but I cannot get them out. It is not just about anxiety. It is about processing. It is about how much effort it takes to speak clearly when your hearing is unreliable and your brain is working through five layers at once. I have to concentrate on how the words feel on my lips. Reading is easier. I can read a chapter, absorb it, and retain the meaning far more efficiently than spoken conversation.

Today I have been preparing for lectures and tutorials. My autism and learning subject is focusing on different models of disability. I already knew about the social and medical models, but the charity model was new to me. That one is built on pity. It treats disabled people as objects of sympathy. It frames support as something to be given out of generosity, not rights. It highlights deficits instead of needs.

The social model is stronger. It shifts the focus to the environment. It says that the problem is not the person, but the barriers around them. That makes sense to me. Public transport. Education systems. Physical spaces. Social attitudes. All of these create exclusion. But the social model has a gap. It does not fully address impairment itself or the supports a person might still need.

That is where the human rights model fits. It blends both perspectives. It says people deserve access and participation, but it also recognises that disability can bring real impacts and real support needs. It centres autonomy. It asks what the person needs to live with dignity and full agency.

This course is igniting something in me. I am not just studying for the sake of knowledge. I want to do something with it. I want things to change, not in vague ways, but in actual lives.

So yes. A flat morning. A helpful coffee. A good study session. And tonight, I will join a space where I do not have to mask or explain. That is something worth looking forward to.

I saw this while driving yesterday. I’m at a loss for words.

Can you imagine seeing a road sign that said:
“BLACK CHILD AREA”
“HOMOSEXUAL CHILD AREA”
“ISLAM CHILD AREA”
There would be international outrage.

@jonatin @qlp Completely agree with @jonatin We support #selfdiagnosis or #selfidentification as it is also known; an official diagnosis is not necessary to identify with us.

If the #ActuallyAutistic community resonates with you, if it feels like the answer to your questions; then Welcome!

There are many people on the edge, not sure where they fit, do they have the right to join in? Yes, they absolutely do!

No-one will ask you for your diagnosis credentials 💗
