Here we go again… You missed out an important part. #Autistic children do not automatically need anything, And that includes therapies and “medical interventions” like medicinal cannabis. Stop using deficit based thinking about us. We are NOT BROKEN WE ARE #AUTISTIC

I’ve not been on here or any social media for a while .. My partner of 35 years died of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, a particularly aggressive form of pancreatic cancer, which had already spread to his liver and bones. The cancer had caused extensive damage…. 1/ #Cancer #Grief

I don't know loads about Dolly Parton but our baby daughter gets one book a month from Dolly Parton's Imaginarion Library and will do until she is five. I think setting up a charity to provide free books and inspire reading in children was a really incredible thing to do. imaginationlibrary.com/uk/

3. The review was commissioned in May 2024 in the wake of the Cass Review. The Health Council’s committee ran systematic literature searches and consulted outside clinical experts chosen for their differing perspectives on the care—a list that included Hilary Cass herself.

2. The council’s conclusions were universally positive for gender-affirming care: it endorsed the treatments as careful, lawful, and effective, framed quick access as a matter of the right to health, warned that “doing nothing” is harmful, cast aside the Cass Review as not applicable to Dutch care.

This is what it is important to pay attention to. We are watching national news and YouTubers devote time to the reflecting pool while ignoring the impact of a memo about the Olmsted act. As we argue about dramatics, policy change continues.

Yep, it's just as varied as any other group. There might be relatively simple similarity when we're born - no one knows - but the way things develop and are expressed just is very varied. Masking looks different depending on cultural background because it's an attempt to fit in.

I have to say I’m not shocked but deeply disappointed and dismayed by the overtly racist comments that were on this post. We don’t speak about the internal #racism within our #Autistic / #Neurodivergent community and the fact IMHO that so Many in the community speak over them. 1/

Just because the same group of mostly anti-neurodiversity, non-autistic people keep trying to make #ProfoundAutism happen does not mean the proposed label actually has merit. In fact, the term has the potential to do great harm, as @drstevenkapp.bsky.social details: www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/13...

Many autistics repeat things over and over; this is called "perseveration". Sometimes the perseveration happens because the person is thinking about something they don't want to forget, and they haven't yet figured out another way to hold onto the thought. -Judy Endow: ollibean.org/autism-perse...

One of the things about researching the history of sex-gender medicine is that they used to say the quiet part out loud - abnormals, freaks, degenerates etc. A lot of the time those are still the words being used - they're just wearing the thinnest of disguises.
