In the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian-American teenager has died of his injuries after he was shot by an Israeli settler on Wednesday. Ramallah. 19-year-old Nasrallah Mohammed Jamal Abu Siam tried to stop Israeli settlers from raiding his village and stealing sheep. #WestBank #Palestine #BDS

Everyone has been talking about the new Barbie this week. Normally, when topics go viral, I avoid adding my 2 pence. However, my ADHD brain was buzzing last night after continuously reading reviews, criticisms and welcomes to the doll collection. 👇🧵 @thendeducator.bsky.social

It's the International Day of the Disabled Person tomorrow, and so we thought we would commemorate it by talking about what doesn't get much attention. Knowing how your body and mind work is key to well-being, but most of us lack the information relevant to our specific needs.

Text: Live Discussion: Neurodivergence & Connective Tissues. Join us on SEMA’s YouTube channel as we commemorate International Day of the Disabled Person. 7 pm Wednesday 3rd December.

The terms 'non-speaking' and 'minimally speaking' are more useful than 'nonverbal' and 'minimally verbal,' as the latter "may hamper research, practice, & policy efforts aimed at improving the lives of the autistic people who purportedly belong to these groups." journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
Square Canva graphic with a dark gray background. 

In the center is a white blob. At the top, red all-caps slanted text reads, "Today in Hell Yes, Research!"

Next, black text reads, "“We should use the terms ‘non-speaking’ or ‘minimally speaking,’ because they are preferred over ‘nonverbal’ and ‘minimally verbal’ by autistic people these terms attempt to describe.”

Next, dark gray all-caps slanted text reads, "Bottema-Beutel, Zisk, Zimmerman, & Yu."

At the bottom, small black text reads, "tinyurl.com/NonSpeakingNotNonVerbal" and "@ThinkingAutism".
