  1. Despite claims to the contrary in some #ND circles who participated in harassment & pilots against Michelle Dawson, #Neurodiversity Leaders in fact exist!

    Point being: #ASAN, aka #AutisticSelfAdvocacyNetwork is still shit, a top down Non Profit with no transparency that threatened slapsuits against those who accused them of #Plagiarism that they’re guilty of, so stop advocating for them as an Alternative to #AutismSpeaks in this latest round of discourse thanks to a Physicist’s #ableism.

  2. So for #AutismAcceptanceMonth:

    • Support organisations ran by and for #Autistic people, like the #AutisticSelfAdvocacyNetwork (#ASAN);

    • Do not discriminate against autistic people – accomodate, listen, and understand their needs;

    • Don't support Autism Speaks or use their puzzle piece symbolism or the colour blue;

    • Opt for #RedInstead, #LightItUpGold, and red/gold/rainbow infinity loops, the symbol of neurodiversity;

    and most importantly:

    • Listen to and uplift #ActuallyAutistic voices!
