Somehow, it does not feel like a coincidence that a lot of the panic about the autism diagnosis being overly broad or too many people being diagnosed came just as more #ActuallyAutistic women received a diagnosis. www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/ar...

Genuinely wonder what my friend @stevesilberman.bsky.social would say about Uta Frith’s comments about the autism spectrum being too broad and #ActuallyAutistic people being too biased to research autism. I miss him and his moral clarity.

I really don't know how to feel about Jason Arday except incredibly sad. Yes, it looks like there was some academic impropriety claims. But #ActuallyAutistic face a higher risk of suicide than neurotypical people. I can't imagine being hounded the way he was.

So, I decided to interview as many #ActuallyAutistic men as I could. This time, I did it across the globe, including autistic men in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. And I interviewed autistic trans and nonbinary people and men in prison. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/eric-...

Five years ago this month, I wrote a book arguing that society should move on from talking about vaccines and autism and instead society should focus more on accepting and accommodating #ActuallyAutistic people. It's pretty clear now that my project failed. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

This week marks 5 years since I published my first book We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation. It wanted to shift how people talked about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistic people from treating them like a problem to humans who deserve dignity www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...
