@DyspraxiaMag It's devastating x

We are in the process of writing an article about the closure of the Dyspraxia Foundation. If anyone would like to share some words or sentiments or even your concerns regarding this news to be featured in our article please respond below. Our aim is to publish this evening.

@AbleismWatch @viciws Plus regards access. I really need support. You get compared to those others with same condition, that often say they don't need support regards access, which in turn makes life very difficult. Can make those believe that person with less needs is less expensive,

@peachyaze @viciws You lost me with the “without diagnosis” part, because neurodivergent self-diagnosis is valid. Official diagnosis is inaccessible to many people, can take literally years & cost a fortune in some countries. It can also get you placed on government registries, often dangerous.

🧵The casual deflection of a 'temporary' erasure of disability from Richard III is from a position of such unbelievable privilege. The condescending tone that us little disabled people shouldn't worry as what they are doing is not permanent and there will be other opportunities

@AbleismWatch @viciws I have a diagnosis which did not cost me money, if it costs to get it, you do have to make sure it is legitimate, it can be recognised during education or by your Doctor, diagnosing yourself can sometimes be incorrect, which can be very harmful if it includes meds

@AbleismWatch @viciws It was in reference to many misdiagnosed, that are given medication, and find down the line they do not have the condition, many private companies do interviews on line not even in person and inform clients or patients they have a condition, to get money

@knockback78 I lost my trust a long time ago, to be fair. I have worked with those that are ableist and somehow believe that is fine, I feel used in many ways in order to tick some other's box often :-(

@GordonPMillar @unitytheatre Was so great to see you, will miss you, have a wonderful time in Edinburgh and so great that you now get to spend Christmas close to your family xx

Today is my last day at the wonderful @unitytheatre It has been a privilege to lead the organisation; to go from strength to strength in our work to engage and entertain audiences and to support underrepresented artists and participants in our creative programmes.

See this Instagram photo by @inclusivetalentuk instagram.com/p/CrLwLgroJbo/… My Agents Diane and Sarah are speaking at this, Good luck <3

@BrazenJules @ChrisJosephPAX I hate this too, as feel false assumptions and expectations are set due to this stereotype, we are deffo not all Rainman !

@ChrisJosephPAX My bother is autistic, highly verbal, sociable and fully mobile and he needs 1:1 24/7 support and is constantly at risk. Savant stereotypes are damaging for him. Remember folks. If you’ve met one autistic person You’ve met one autistic person

On the ‘autistic spectrum’? If yes, you are a highly intelligent and sensitive human being. So, be proud of yourself!

.@Dines4Dales, lets make #PublicSexualHarassment a #CrimeNotCompliment. Along with @PlanUK and @OurStreetsNow I’m calling on you to protect girls by strengthening the Protection from Sex-Based Harassment in Public Bill bit.ly/3mAFkmj

instagram.com/p/CpPzRkXsdp_/ @unitytheatre I am very proud that The Unity Theatre supported my project DDDivas in 2021, as had to shield during pandemic, due to health and disability, still receiving support and got further arts council funding, Help the unity support more artists

@Divinadecampo :-(

Fuck off.

@knockback78 Same thing has happened to me, hope you are better soon and less cold, my neck and shoulders plus back are very sore, taken huge amounts of painkillers, and my Mum has got me a new hot water bottle xxx

@brazenprods Hi Jules, I did send a private message too, hope you get a chance to read it :-)

Thread Hello twitter. I am doing a talk about allies, inclusion and action. I would love to include your thoughts, comments & voices in my ‘talk’. Cos one voice (even mine) is too quiet! Videos would be lovely (phone sideways/landscape please), voice notes or text tweets➡️

@_Nic_LN This is definately not the right way to support people, have read your other posts below too, I find that potential abuse of women is ost definately not a way forward

When I worked at the absolute hell-hole that is The National Autistic Society, I was sent on managers training around supporting people with sex and sexuality. The trainer was a woman with an autistic son and she disclosed that she regularly took him to Amsterdam to exploit women

@weareunltd @joverrent @catnuala @ArtsPro So fully agree, as have experienced many situations within the arts, where ableism effects me, it does have a mental effect on my wellbeing, I still think ableism is often brushed off regards discrimination, it really does need to change

For today's International Day of Disabled People, revisit what our Director @joverrent and Senior Producer @catnuala think we can do as a sector to recognise and eradicate ableism. #IDDP @ArtsPro 📰 Read here: bit.ly/3B6SAnd
