In olden times, you'd walk into a shop and look at, say, a cake, decide not to buy it, and walk out of the shop safe in the knowledge that nobody would be following you around with the cake for the next 6 weeks just in case you change your mind.

What neurodivergent people really think about the words used to describe them Research reveals a clear preference for how neurodivergent adults want to be described, though not everyone agrees.

“We recommend listening to neurodivergent people to find out about their preferences and using the words that they prefer, instead of solely being led by traditions which have developed without the input of the communities we are referring to.”

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

Two pictures of the pillsbury dough boy: once is on a purple background with the caption “he is risen! happy Easter!”, and the other is tan and brown, similar to a cracker, on a white background saying “he is not! Happy Passover!”

Indivisible Brooklyn members carrying big butterflies and flowers and a big sun that says "WE ARE THE POWER" and a sign that says "They tried to bury us" walk towards us in NYC. Low angle looking up, emphasis on the signs. Glorious color, all handmade.

Another shot of that glorious protest art from @juliepeppito.bsky.social and crew at #NoKings Manhattan. Marching with @bkindivisible.bsky.social. Just gorgeous color throughout this march. Amazing.

Alice Wong In this manifesto, Alice Wong talks disability, diversity, and why she wants to hear stuttering on the radio.

For @transom.bsky.social 'On radio, I want to hear people who lisp, stutter, make noises when they talk, use computer-generated speech, communicate, enunciate, and pronounce differently.'

Thinking of my beloved tiger queen Alice Wong today, and what better a way to celebrate than with her work; Alice was so many things, and among them was an incredibly sharp, talented writer with a luminous love for words.

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

With a colleague & (former) students, we looked at how our SLP/AUD graduate program implemented UDL before & after some informal UDL training & if students thought the strategies were useful for their learning. We’re presenting at a conference for clinical/academic program faculty & admin in April

As parents clamor for a treatment touted for autism, doctors hesitate to prescribe it After leucovorin got public attention as a potential autism treatment, families rushed to get it. Many doctors are torn about prescribing an unproven drug but don't want to lose patients' trust.

Hear me out: What if instead of 'treating' (aka 'managing' and 'controlling') or 'curing' autism, you talk to actual autistics about what we want and need, and definitely do NOT pay attention to quackery and misinformation peddled by the federal government.

The Iconic Civil Rights Protest You Don't Know | American Experience | PBS Meet the protesters who crawled their way into history—and changed how all Americans live.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.

(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

When they played the tribute video between 1Q & 2Q, it lasted the entirety of the break and the crowd and all the Grizzlies players were standing and applauding well after the timeout buzzer sounded for players to be back on the court.

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
