I am currently reading a book by #SteveSilberman called #Neurotribes, and I came across a nice thought that I agree with and that other autistic buddy's might also like.
I quote: "Autism is both a disorder and a gift, and I am valuable in a different way, not less valuable."

You knew Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education. You've learned he's naming WWE wrestling executive Linda McMahon to head that agency.
But did you know that Project 2025's blueprint for dismantling the agency calls for disabled children's special education services to be overseen by... RFK Jr ? The guy who believes vaccines cause autism and that autism needs to be "cured"? #autism #audhd #neurotribes #ASD
Details in next post. 1/2

#Brain as Mr. #Silberman put it:
“an interactive, adaptive, and endlessly innovative participant in the creation of our world.”
#SteveSilberman decided to write a book exploring the diagnosis’s history. The result:
“ #NeuroTribes
The Legacy of #Autism and the Future of #Neurodiversity ”https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2024/09/04/steve-silberman-dead-neurotribes/

CW: Mention of well-known author passing away
I just found out the heartbreaking and sudden news that #SteveSilberman passed away yesterday.
His book #NeuroTribes is very important to myself and so many other #Autistic people in helping us know who we are, fight back against decades of "deficit" propaganda, and introducing so many others to the #NeuroDiversity movement.

So saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Silberman, a fierce advocate for #neurodivergent people, LGBTQ folk, and humanity in general. His book, #NeuroTribes was revolutionary in helping change the mental health community’s understanding of autism and other mental health challenges, redefining them as “a different way of thinking” as opposed to an “illness”.
He was with us here on mastodon just a few hours ago, and i will miss him SO much 😢

@stevesilberman Hiya Steve, hope you're good, I've been recommending your excellent book 'Neurotribes' to #ActuallyAutistic anthropologist (among others) but was wanting to get the audio book version of 'Neurotribes' read by your good self but want to know the best place (for you) where I can buy a HQ download.

If you don't follow him already, @stevesilberman is excellent. He is a gifted writer (Author of the book #Neurotribes ) not to mention a Really Good Person.

French President Emmanuel Macron is serious about increasing opportunities in the workforce for #neurodivergent folks. Today I was honored to share some insights gained by talking to autistic people with Vincent Grimaldi de Puget, chair of the national Commission for the Recruitment of Atypical Talents, who got in touch after reading #NeuroTribes. It was a great conversation.

@powells.bsky.social in Portland is one of my favorite booksellers on Earth, and I'm so honored that Powell's on Hawthorne is featuring my book #NeuroTribes, along with superb books by Devon Price, Hannah Gadsby, and others, to celebrate #neurodiversity this month.

A very, very lovely essay by Kristy Barlow about waking up to one's own #autistic identity - near the heart of what my book #NeuroTribes is about. Thank you, @mattward.bsky.social. https://open.substack.com/pub/kristybarlow/p/lighthouse-in-the-fog?r=1e885&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Did not expect #Neurotribes to open with a bit about Larry Wall and Perl, that was a fun surprise.

Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay. No one ever explained the difference between "awareness" and "acceptance" better than this 14-year-old in Australia. Please read my in-depth history of #autism and neurodiversity, #NeuroTribes, and books by great autistic authors like @EricMGarcia, Yenn Purkis, and Katherine May. NeuroTribes is available everywhere: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/310415/neurotribes-by-steve-silberman-foreword-by-oliver-sacks/
