I’m Autistic, And Believe Me, It’s A Lot Better Than Measles. (Vaccines don’t cause autism. But even if they did, is being like me really a fate worse than death?) A thread drawn from @fodderfigure.bsky.social's recent TPGA article: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/03/im-a... #VaccinesSaveLives 1/

Vaccines like the MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) don’t cause autism. But even if they did, is being like me really a fate worse than death?

These findings sadly don't surprise me in the least. In my current research (adapting eating disorder treatment for adults with ADHD) I've so far found no existing guidelines for supporting people with ADHD to engage in mental health treatment. If you know of any papers on this, please share!

Today, I'd like to talk about neurodiversity. We've had a few scientists wandering about on social media platforms, claiming that neurodiversity academics and fans are 'anti-science'. Yesterday, I said this is like claiming that biodiversity academics are anti-science. I want to explain more/

Our recent paper (led by Phaedra Longhurst) argues that eating disorder measures lack validity for Autistic folks: leads to pathologising Autistic people's eating & missing EDs that don't present neurotypically. Validated, Autistic-led measures urgently needed! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Ellie Middleton posted this on LinkedIn, and it's so true. Generations of people live without knowing or understanding their differences, and many are still slipping through the net.

Text that reads "Oh my god. Everyone has ADHD/autism now. How did we let so many people down?" The "everyone has ADHD/Autism now" part is struck out.

We should all be more like the moomins

Ooh, is that me?
Look at my nice ears!
I think l look wonderful, even though my legs are a little short.
And I'm so soft and round.
No sharp edges anywhere.
