Had the privilege of speaking at #ANZAED2022 on behalf of the autistic community who have been so misunderstood/mistreated due to a lack of understanding in our health system. As a fat disabled autistic advocate, I tried to bring the humanity back into a very academic space. ♾️

Beyond disappointed with @PatMcGorry's recent comments on #autism and #adhd being 'over-diagnosed' and even worse @TheTodayShow @Channel9 airing a respiratory doctor (not even a psychiatrist) @nickcoatsworth1 to boost these inaccurate and harmful opinions. #ableism #ignorance

What are your New Year's resolutions that honour and respect your #neurodivergence? I've been deeply reflecting on my own internalised #ableism and #neuronormative cultural bias this January to try and create neurodiversity-affirming goals for 2024. How about you? #Autistic #ADHD

The sooner we recognise a young person’s neurotype the sooner we ensure their needs are met and support them to fulfil their potential. Proactive action is key to minimise the risks of isolation & trauma. Awareness, education & training is where change happens. #Autism

@autisticdoc @SenatorJordon That's how we roll! 🥰 I had so many messages from fellow ADHDers trying to squeeze in the dealing. Hope we inundate the committee with our very underserved and unmet access needs and see tangible outcomes and much-needed change. ♾

@_AnnieCrowe @SenatorJordon What a fantastic template @_AnnieCrowe ! Thank you 🙏 Perfectly timed for a deadline-induced ADHD hyper-brilliance.

📣 #ADHD #SenateInquiry Submissions close TODAY. Here is a template I've created if you need any help writing a submission: docs.google.com/document/d/1lH… Thank you @SenatorJordon for your advocacy for our ADHD community! ♾ More of my resources: linktr.ee/anniecrowe

“But to this day, in my thirties, I'm still constantly in this shifting zone of not wanting to be in full-blown burnout or bore-out. I need constant stimulation even when I've been in full burnout; I need it in the form of focusing on my special interests’ - @_AnnieCrowe

It’s #PDA Day! 🐼 Many of you might’ve heard of #PathologicalDemandAvoidance... I prefer #PersistentDriveforAutonomy! There has been a lot in the media recently about “School Refusal." Refusing is a choice, PDA, trauma and/or anxiety are NOT choices. #PDAer #AuDHD @PDASociety

Anti‐ableist language is fully compatible with high‐quality autism research: Response to Singer et al. (2023) - Natri - 2023 - Autism Research - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

@teamwghicu This is so triggering (as I've had too many experiences like this), but a powerful look at what it's really like to be like an #ActuallyAutistic patient in the hospital. #AutisticTrauma #SensoryOverload #DemandAvoidant

ICU can be an extremely challenging environment for autistic people For #WorldAutismAcceptanceWeek we have made this video to give an idea of the sensory challenges of being an ICU patient Part 1 of 2! 1/
