10 signs you might be autistic... workplace edition...
1. You cry easily when confronted, even about something small, and have a hard time holding in your emotions
2. You ask a lot of questions when being shown how to do something or when trying to understand expectations

Friendly reminder... hidden disabilities are still disabilities.
A person can look "perfectly fine" and still be disabled by their brain wiring.

Severe mental illness remains so deeply stigmatised in society. We can have mental health awareness days. More people can talk about depression and anxiety. But psychosis, schizophrenia, personality disorders - all remain incredibly stigmatised and this stigma results in harm.

If you see this on your Twitter, retweet it. You could save a life..

Very cool study! They started with clinical data to identify persistent Salmonella infections. Then used genomics to identify convergent mutations within hosts. And then molecular analysis to identify the mechanism! Heard about it at #GRCSalmonella biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Bacteria are constantly evolving to beat the drugs used to fight them.
As bacteria mutate, some develop the ability to fight off #antibiotics and survive to multiply and spread resistance.

For many autistic people, nobody is beyond questioning, because having a high status, lots of power and lots of knowledge do not mean a person can never be wrong or could not do better. We often take a more organic approach towards hierarchies, and we support equal opportunities.

Men can struggle, too.
Men can be sad, too.
Men can cry, too.
Men can have a mental illness, too.
It doesn’t make them less “manly”. It makes them human.

Some signs an autistic person may want to be friends with you:
- They are always trying to help you and solve your problems with/for you.
- They gift you small things that you love.
- They take great joy in sharing their favourite interests, and cool facts about them, with you.

Mental health struggles can affect anyone, from any background, any age & at any time.
It's important that we normalise mental health, so we all feel comfortable in reaching out for help & talking about it when we are struggling.
End the stigma 💜

Reasons I am proud to be autistic 🧵
1. High level of empathy
Many autistic people have incredibly high levels of empathy, especially for other marginalised people and those who are vulnerable. Sometimes it just looks different to NT empathy and is therefore not recognised.

On reflection, there are diverse communication needs. It is important our approach is flexible to meet each individual’s needs
