Right in the thick of #AutismAwareness month I’m still seeing ppl on the other place referring to autism as a mental health condition, autistic ppl being “placed” on the spectrum and use of the terms High/Low Functioning.
We have a long way to go….

Four years on an iPhone in bed later, Who Wants Normal? is finally out in the world today.
Part memoir, part guide, it features 50+ of Britain’s best known disabled women. I hope it makes you laugh, possibly cry, and feel seen.

❗ The UK Government must prioritise our relationship with the EU over sucking up to Trump.
The EU is our nearest, biggest and more reliable trade partner.
Trump's US is hostile, chaotic and has proven it's no friend of the UK.

The speech by RFK Jr indicates that autistic people are a disease. Also we can't pay tax, or hold a job, play sports, be creative, or go on dates, he says.
And if we don't agree that we're an epidemic that will cost 'a trillion dollars' for society, we're deniers of reality.

Well, no.

The only thing worse than non autistic people telling autistic people that we aren’t disabled is OTHER autistic people telling us that we aren’t disabled because of their own lateral ableism.

Autistic boundaries aren’t just about saying no.
They’re about unlearning the story that our needs are too much.
About stopping the self-abandonment we were taught was kindness.
Boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re how we come back to ourselves and honor our needs.
