Born September 24, 1936, Jim Henson would have been 90 years old today. Rightly one of the most beloved entertainers of all time.

Quilters, immigrant rights advocates and an interfaith coalition unveiled the Stolen Neighbors Quilt at the Minnesota State Capitol on Tuesday to honor Minnesotans detained by federal immigration enforcement - and advocate on their behalf.

Pete Wharmby's new book is out! His first two were excellent, and this one is badly needed: a book about why so many autistic kids are struggling, especially at school, from one of the people best-placed to explain it (and guide people to fix it). Very pleased to see he narrates the audiobook, too!

A particularly infuriating aspect of this A.I. bullshit is that nobody seems to remember that we all got along just fine without it for centuries. How are we all suddenly incapable of reading and understanding written words? Of creating art? Of telling stories? It’s madness.

Autistic people can really truly benefit from alone time, especially when social and sensory environments are too much . Finding quiet spaces and/or engaging with intense interests can be helpful, as can making socializing less overwhelming. New research: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We’re often told we lack empathy, but often, it’s the opposite. Autistic humans often over-empathize, mimicking and feeling others' emotions to survive. It’s time we start prioritising our own emotional needs.

One of the hardest parts of being autistic is being told your entire life that your reality is wrong. Too sensitive. Too intense. Too rigid. Too emotional. Too much. Eventually you stop trusting yourself.

Concerning to see Prof Uta Frith, (not a diagnostic professional), deciding that Chris Packham is not autistic..& in the Times. Describing it as 'absurd' that he has a diagnosis, because he can communicate well on TV (!) I think "unwise" sums up my view. www.thetimes.com/life-style/h...

Uta Frith helped to build the theory of the ‘autistic spectrum’. Now she’s under fire for saying it’s reached the point of being meaningless
