Happy #AutismAcceptanceMonth! 🌈♾
Keep fighting for a more inclusive world, because we autistic people are beautiful and worthy of love! We don’t need to be fixed. We need to be heard, accommodated, and understood!
We are not puzzles. We are masterpieces!

Front cover of "Re-Storying Autism- A Framework For Families, Parents, And Carers: Reimagining Suppirt For Autistic People" by David Gray-Hammond & Helen Edgar Cover has a pale blue back ground with an illustration of a rainbow infinity symbol featured prominently in the centre.
Thrilled to announce: Re-Storying Autism is now available for pre-order.
Co-authored with @autisticrealms.bsky.social, this framework addresses a critical gap in how we support autistic people.

I am doing a more in-depth follow up to my 2024 survey into Autistic Language Preferences.
Please could you take some time to do this survey and help me build a robust data set?

The search for “autism causes” hides a darker question: what damaged this person?
Autism isn’t damage or tragedy. It’s part of human diversity.

We need this to spread far and wide. The more people making noise about this and signing and sharing the linked petition the better.

Amazon’s book marketplace isn’t just careless, it’s complicit.
Dangerous autism “cure” guides remain on sale, despite global outcry.

Hollie Hughes has been involved in this project for a while. The language around mild autism and mild developmental delay is straight from Behavioural change therapy (also known as ABA).
Look for which companies will benefit from this approach. #DisabilityRights #AutisticRights #NDIS

Thank you for speaking out.
These Autistic 'advocates' are terrorising the #Autistic community. Bullying, defaming and attacking anyone that doesn't follow their cult.
It's not safe for Autistic people, their families on social media anymore because of these bullies.
