Thinking of my fellow autistics today. I'm feeling very despondent about the way of the world at the minute. This latest announcement is yet another attack on science, which has just been relentless since 2020.

"If we keep calling autistic communication a 'deficit,' we miss the truth. Autistic ppl don’t lack social skills; we have our own. We connect in ways that make sense within our neurotype, just as other groups do." Dr. Megan Neff; her #SNS panel is in 15 min. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-...

Seeing Autism as Difference, Not Deficit
Small talk or straight talk? Autism communication has its own logic—and embracing difference opens the door to empathy. Understanding this can transform empathy and connection.

My unfunded research has included exploring the factors that autistic women say are important to having a good quality of life, and how parents understand their autistic children use echolalia to communicate. I am livid about this (full credit to lead on these tho @kathyleadbitter.bsky.social)

Regular reminder that there is no reason Labour has to “eye billions of pounds in welfare and other cuts”. It’s more than possible to raise cash with targeted wealth taxes. Austerity is a choice and it’s a choice no matter what colour party is in power.
