For @TeenVogue’s Disability (In)justice series, I wrote about the many ways standardized tests are ableist and ultimately harm students with disabilities.

There's a character in #HeartbreakHigh who's explicitly autistic (and the actor is too!)
I was like "oh are they experiencing sensory overload?" and then 10 minutes later the character says the words "I'm autistic."
Labels like this matter so much!

How can autistic adults thrive? This should be one of the questions at the heart of autism research. Excited to have examined it with an amazing team of autistic and non-autistic co-authors. You can read it here (should be free to access): rdcu.be/cUZkz

Today is the launch of @AutisticProf's book, Growing in to Autism! We took the opportunity to speak to her about the book's themes, what she learnt about herself whilst writing the book, her relationship with masking and more.
Congratulations Sandra!

"Recognising autism and making adjustments for autistic people in healthcare settings can reduce barriers and delays in getting appropriate treatment thus improving health outcomes and reducing health inequalities for autistic people."

So, I made a variation of this meme based on our struggle with neurotypicals & social rules.
ALT Two books. Bigger book says "Social Rules NTs Follow." Smaller book says "Social Rules NTs can explain or admit exist."
