This is a recent tweet from an "Autism Mom". I agree with her - I DON'T speak "for" non-speaking Autistic people. But neither does she. Why? Because through #AAC, they can speak for themselves. Here's a thread of quotes EXCLUSIVELY from non-speaking Autistic people. Heed them.

more people than ever before know that jk rowling denied the history of the holocaust because she threatened this person into issuing a public apology and i think that’s beautiful

Rivkah Brown@rivkahbrown

On 13 March I tweeted that JK Rowling “is a Holocaust denier”. That allegation was false and offensive. I have deleted it and apologise to JK Rowling.

Bad Writing Takes 🖊️🏳️‍🌈@BadWritingTakes·13 Mar

This is a bizarre but incredibly important interaction for understanding how JK Rowling's mind works post-radicalisation, and how cult movements and extremist groups are able to function in conflict with seemingly undeniable reality. A small thread 🧵

Stray Autistic Cat@obrerx·7 Mar

One of the reasons PDD-NOS, Autism Disorder, And Asperger's Syndrome (all were separate categories in the DSM) were eliminated and placed under Autism Spectrum is because the Board of the DSM found that the same person could go into 5 different clinics... 1/

@AIMautistic I experienced ABA as a child, and faced this kind of abuse When I was in college studying psych, I unfortunately was placed in an internship where I practiced ABA It is no better now, no matter what they tell you ABA is conversion therapy but for Autistic kids

@AIMautistic ABA is borderline abuse. I was ignored as a child as part of ABA, it’s affected me so much in my adult life. Idk how to control my emotions because I was taught my emotions don’t matter

I was stopped in my tracks when I read this quote. “'The unborn' are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or

I want to tell you something that many people in the autism industry don't know: Many well-known autistic activists in your local community and the international autism advocacy community ARE STILL BEING ABUSED BY THEIR PARENTS and they can't afford to tell the world. Many.

.@jk_rowling just wrote a long post about how much she apparently cares about prison safety, and then immediately retweeted a racist "patriot" account, who claims to have been a male officer in a female prison, who enjoys making prison rape jokes. 1/

Holy crap this story is wild - and deeply alarming. My eyes just got wider and wider the more I read. Always grateful to Tania for being so unrelentingly direct with addressing these topics.

[THREAD] Why is it so hard for people in the field of ABA to improve the field, even with the support of autistic activists? One of the reasons is this:

I got so much shit for talking about Hogwarts Legacy from people saying things like "show me where she's spent her money on transphobia", well here you fucking go.

Thomas Willett@ThomasWillett9

JK Rowling casually dropping her loose change on a crowdfund to change the definition of sex in the Equality Act, which would strip trans people of their legal protections & cause untold suffering. Rowling’s transphobia is blisteringly clear.

Here is JK Rowling openly donating 70,000 to a legal crowdfunder by "For Women Scotland," an organisation co-founded by a woman who referred to trans women as "blackface actors" and "sick, pathetic fucks." But you just HAD to buy and play that Harry Potter computer game, right?

Monique Botha is actually they/them 🤷🏻‍♀️@DrMBotha·29 Oca

I'm actually profoundly worried about the implications of this research. They might have gotten approval from Caitlyn's family (they had to get the diaries for example), but Caitlyn herself couldn't consent to this. What about privacy?

Sian Griffiths@SianGriffiths6

NEW: Caitlyn, 16, charted her hopes and fears before dying at a top boarding school. Now @Cambridge_Uni researchers are studying the autistic teen’s diary in a new research survey looking for answers. Plus 10 min bill @duncancbaker @AmbitiousAutism 👇👇👇 thetimes.co.uk/article/autism…

@brookewinters33 @jasminelilyanne Applied Behavioural Analysts like telling you that they help people learn to communicate, but as soon as people who have experienced ABA communicate that it harmed them, that communication suddenly doesn't count anymore.

Increasing I am of the opinion that many autism researchers want to define autism as only those who can’t communicate and therefore can’t contradict them.
