I have a question for non-autistic people, especially neurotypical professionals:
Why do you want autistic people to be just like you?

@kathryn_chu_sa Recolonise 😬 Assuming an autocorrect gremlin and that’s actually decolonise

South Africa decreases restrictions in spite of #Omicron dominating all of the infections. This action is puzzling to the world. Here are a few thoughts on why the government in SA may be correct by acting in this way... Tweets 1/8

@taracdennehy @roryreckons Would definitely appreciate receiving ice-breaker questions in advance. It will not only provide the opportunity for preparation and not feeling frozen on the spot, but also eliminate the hours/days/weeks of ruminating afterwards on the response I would have liked to have given.

@roryreckons Question, if okay: Since icebreakers do serve a useful function in smaller seminars, workshops, etc., would it help to have the icebreaker questions provided in advance for those who want them? (e.g., included in an email to all, but listed as optional to look at).

After much scepticism of SA data, indicative of “unless we say so”, appears that scientists and Governments from high income countries have come around that Omicron causes less severe illness, despite being the most antibody evasive variant. Experience seems to be tracking SA.

Latest data from @mbrrace @NPEU_UKOSS @BPSUtweet showing worsening outcomes from covid-19 amongst pregnant women and their babies. This underpins new JCVI recommendation that pregnant women are considered an at risk group. Vaccination strongly protective against severe disease.

@hvolmink Huge congrats to Prof Volmink and the family support team 🤩 Our paths crossed over creating excel charts in the early 2000s and I remember your humbleness with fondness.

How much more ridiculous can this get?
Tulio de Oliveira@Tuliodna
Absolute nonsense @sajidjavid! Not only South Africa identified the #omicron and alerted the @WHO and the world. But we also helped the U.K to identify the the Alpha variant, see Sir @JeremyFarrar spike book. U.K. should be rewarding SA for scientific quality and transparency...

Autism is not a rare condition. Being autistic is a way of being human.

Reflecting on SA experience with Omricon thus far in Gauteng - the epicentre in SA. 1. Rate of increase per capita much quicker than any of previous three waves. Strongly suggestive of more transmissible than even delta. 2. Positivity rate 30-40% in some settings.
