I love that the most consistently available Irn-Bru in London comes with a kebab.

What the actual fuck?! “Well, there’s something wrong with them, better test them for the tism!” The damage that these genital obsessed bullies inflict on *everyone* is off the charts.

A difficult video to make; but a great opportunity for brands to properly align themselves with the neurodivergent community. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

If your brand wants to better serve neurodivergent people, you have to include us in the research and development of your products and services. Seems simple, right? #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

I don’t see autism as a positive per se, but also not a negative, it’s just part of who I am. I don’t see being a white, male, heterosexual as either positive or negative either, also just part of who I am.

Neurodivergent people are probably among the most resilient people you’ll ever encounter. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

I always say I am autistic, because I don’t know where autism ends and Andrew starts, it is as much a part of me as my thumbs are. With that said, if someone else wants to say of themselves that they have autism, or that they’re with autism, I support them. It is for US to choose though.

How we label neurodivergence is not uniform, nor does it need to be. As neurodivergent people, how we choose to label ourselves, or not, is entirely our choice. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Neurodivergent people are different; not only different to neurotypical people, but also to each other. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Give us options to interact with your brand. Giving neurodivergent people control over how they interact with you will improve the outcomes for them, and you. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Masking is exhausting and stressful, and it means that neurodivergent people are hiding the very traits for which they are valued. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Is it important to include neurotypical people in the design and creation of environments which are nurturing and supportive for neurodivergent people? #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Communication between neurotypical people and neurodivergent people can be challenging, for both groups. With willingness, and a little effort, it can be improved significantly though. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Sensory sensitivities. If you’re neurodivergent, particularly autistic, your senses may be heightened. Maybe reducing sensory bombardment is good for everyone though? #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

“Autism Awareness Day” Today we talk about moving beyond awareness, to acceptance, and recognise there are bigger end goals than merely acceptance. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic

Agreed! It’s the old story of quality over quantity; the “social” part of “social media” is so often forgotten! I’m hopeful that BlueSky can be what Twitter once was :)

Right?! Evolution is sometimes inevitable, but consistency is helpful - probably not only for us neurodivergent people, but also neurotypical people! [btw, I love “I follow *interesting*”]

For the longest time I have struggled to tell people what I actually do. So, from now I’m a “neurodivergent brand consultant”. 1 in 7 people are neurodivergent – but most brands don’t even consider us. #WorldAutismAcceptance #ActuallyAutistic www.bgateway.com/stories/blog...

The biggest disappointment, for me, was Twitter - its slide probably started when the chronological timeline was abandoned. People started following more accounts than was feasible to keep up with and an attention economy ensued. Ah well, at least I met you, Sam :)

Elon Musk: Butt out of UK politics
Elon Musk does not represent the views of British people. So I've signed the open letter telling him to butt out of UK politics. Agree? Sign & share it far & wide across social media so he sees & know...

There was a time where I’d post this on Facebook; but @jena.ng isn’t there anymore. Happy Birthday to the most amazing partner, friend, and tireless ally.

One of the best things about BlueSky so far is the lack of blue check marks. Being able to change your handle to be a domain you own is such a simple way to verify who you are, really clever too.

Hey hey! Deleting Twitter, so glad to see you here, bring teh Caps with ye!

I’m here, found you by searching for neurodivergent lists, I think, still a bit confused by BlueSky :)

Oh! Good question, I don’t think that’s possible yet, but would be better than that other place!

Good idea. That's how we used to use it on that other place, before "likes" became currency :)

I love meeting new people, I figured out long ago that most people are probably interesting, if you give them a chance :) If you want to make threads on here, this is where I learnt how: (bsky.app/profile/russincheshire.bsk…) (4/4)

For clients, I figure out how they want to be perceived, and what they can say, and do, to be seen in the way they want to be seen. Now, I find myself figuring out BlueSky. (3/4)

Then, in 2012, I was diagnosed as being autistic (Asperger's) and everything started to make more sense. 38 years of figuring it out, of trying to find patterns in how these weird people think gave me a vast bank of experience, and knowledge, about how people react to certain stimuli. (2/4)

Andrew Burnett @burne.tt · 13/11/2024
I love figuring out how to do things. It's part of who I am. For 38 years I figured out how to communicate with all the weird people around me; family, friends, teachers, everyone. (1/4)

The only food thing (f-)Elon Musk has done is make Bluesky the new Twitter.

My friend Jen Ang has set up a new legal consultancy - Lawmanity: Law for Humans - in Scotland Check it out lawmanity.com

Inequality and social injustice are on the rise, and the law itself is often a barrier to people seeking justice.
