We show up for each other. We keep each other alive. Community is not merely our safety net—it is our infrastructure. It is our power. **It is our resistance.** 🧵 3/3

Every voice raised in solidarity is a rupture in their logic. Every hand extended, every intentional act of radical care, is an uncompromising act of defiance. Where their systems intentionally fail us, we build our own architectures of survival. 🧵 2/3

Community is Resistance They thrive on our isolation. They build their power by keeping us divided, unheard, and unseen. They engineer an inaccessible world, then demand we survive it alone. But we were never meant to fight in isolation. 🧵 1/3

In 1983, Oregon built a family of advocacy commissions. Today there are five. Four share an independent home. The fifth, the oldest, the one for disabled Oregonians, was sent to live inside the agency it advises. Thursday, July 16, 1 p.m., the story goes public. bit.ly/TheFifthChair

3/4 Disabled people have fought to reclaim disability as identity, community, and political power. "Life Beyond Labels" erases that work. It centers the comfort of non-disabled observers over the self-determination of disabled people.

The Autivist (Fighting for a Post Behaviorist World) @neurodivergentequity.org · 14/04/2026

2/4 Disability isn't the problem. Ableism is. Barriers aren't caused by the word "disability" — they're caused by systems, structures, and power. Renaming things doesn't widen a doorway or end wage theft. It just makes oppression invisible.

The Autivist (Fighting for a Post Behaviorist World) @neurodivergentequity.org · 14/04/2026

1/4 The 9th Annual Breaking Barriers conference (CODSN) is framed around a vision where "labels such as disability have no meaning." From a disability justice perspective, that's not liberation. That's erasure. 🧵

For all its reliance on the over-used marketing term “evidence-based”, PBIS doesn’t square up against the rigors of real scientific evidence. It’s still based on old behaviorist beliefs that have long been replaced by cognitive and relational science.

With 450 objects in the Neurodivergent Compendium, deciding on a good categorization and organizational structure is essential. Looking across all of it to find the consistent themes reveals the following.

The Organizing Logic
Each category answers a distinct question:
• What lenses do we use? → Paradigms & Frameworks
• What are people? → Neurotypes & Conditions
• How do minds work? → Cognition & Processing
• Who are we? → Identity, Culture & Community
• How do we connect? → Communication & Relationships
• What does it feel like? → Lived Experience & Wellbeing
• What does the world do to us? → Systems, Structures & Ableism
• What do we do about it? → Praxis & Tools

Just a reminder that grievance parents don't dictate the supports that Autistic people need or the struggles that we have And most of us wish to #EndAutismSpeaks because they do not speak for us Generally, they speak for grievance parents which doesn't always align with centering Autistic people

New abstract fit of mine lead to a great discussion with 12 yo son about representation, gender, sexual orientation, pride, and democratic systems/teams/committees. Although by “great”, may not mean he actually listened or will remember. But it ever hopeful. ❤️

A dark charcoal gray t-shirt features a graphic made entirely of colorful polka dots arranged in the shape of a lightning bolt or stylized arrow pointing right. The dots are roughly the size of large coins and densely packed together.

The dots are drawn from a wide spectrum of colors with no repeating pattern, representing many different pride flags simultaneously. Colors include red, orange, yellow, green (both bright and lime), teal, light blue, medium blue, purple, lavender, pink, hot pink, magenta, white, gray, brown, and black. This broad palette references multiple pride flags, including the rainbow Pride flag, the bisexual flag, the transgender flag, the nonbinary flag, the intersex flag, the asexual flag, and others within the LGBTQIA2+ community.

We pathologized depth. We pathologized passion. We pathologized a nervous system that is doing exactly what it needs to do.

The Autivist (Fighting for a Post Behaviorist World) @neurodivergentequity.org · 20/03/2026

What did we do with that word? We took it and slapped it onto autistic and ADHD people who are talking intensely about something they love, or who are returning repeatedly to a topic that feels important, or who are processing something that needs more time.

It’s a neurological/clinical term borrowed from the brain injury and stroke literature. It originally described an involuntary, pathological inability to shift away from a stimulus. The brain literally cannot disengage. That is a very specific, often distressing neurological event.

Data equity is racial justice. It is disability justice. It is Indigenous sovereignty. It is queer and trans liberation. It is our responsibility to students, families, and communities who have been erased by data systems for too long.
