What it means to not understand emotional subtleties in the school environment louisebowley.wordpress.com/2017/12/11/wha…

#AbleistRapeCulture when scarcity of caregivers is given as a reason to ‘give that person another chance’

#AbleistRapeCulture when the choice is either die from lack of care or accept violations few other ppl wld tolerate

#CW #AbleistRapeCulture when training children with disabilities to say "I love you" is a higher priority than teaching them how to say "yes" and "no".

CW #AbleistRapeCulture: When people argue for non-consensually sterilizing disabled women on the grounds that they're likely to be raped. As though infertility does anything to prevent rape. As though one sexual violation justifies another.

#AbleistRapeCulture when enforced random hugging (esp. among ppl with developmental disabilities) is trained and mandatory

That's *also* #AbleistRapeCulture. The idea that disabled people have no sexual agency is incredibly dangerous on a number of levels. twitter.com/glapointewrite…

Every teacher or therapist who teaches non-speaking autistic children should read this entire research paper, written by a non-speaking teenager, Emma Zurcher-Long. This should be mandatory. Follow the author and her mother at @EmmasHopeBook #autism 💭 emmashopebook.com/2017/12/09/met…

@FindHelpSA This is only for people with money, right? Not for someone who is struggling to get food but unable to get a disability grant because bipolar people rarely get grants, and because clinics can't diagnose Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

@AutismSAfrica How many of the "expert advisors" are autistic?

Windhoek, Namibia - 6 Oct: I'm presenting three sessions at the Everyday Autism Every Day Seminar: facebook.com/events/3379715… #ActuallyAutistic

Check out the FB page at AutisticStrategies.Net and find out what #actuallyautistic people are doing to #OptimiseAutism.

@AutismSAfrica If you call him inspirational, then be inspired to change your beliefs and actions. Take a 180 degree turn. Listen to what he says helped.

@AutismSAfrica Whenever you hold events along with ABA people, you are going against the words of people like Ido. There are thousands like him.

@AutismSAfrica And he is clear about why ABA (which some of your members use) is not helpful. Start standing up for autistic people's rights against that.

This is for real. Knorr will share a meal if you use the #shareamealsa hashtag on Sunday 16 October. twitter.com/whats4dinnerSA…

@AutismSAfrica So exciting to know that you are there!
