I’m virtually ‘in Texas’ this week for #INSAR2022 - living on Texas time from my Melbourne living room, and tweeting from my @AutisticProf account

Feeling very proud of my university today. Today we announced the recipients of our Autism Inclusion Awards - non/autistic people nominated by our autistic staff and students for providing an inclusive university experience. And the winners were….
A huge thank you to @qantas staff on QF471 today. I arrived at the gate just as the flight was closing - massively stressed after my Uber broke down in the tunnel billowing smoke. They calmed me down, carried my bag, and got me a bottle of water. Now that’s #CustomerService

Why do I think banks are sexist? I am a ‘Dr’ (PhD). My husband is not. But our bank transposes this and sends all our mail to Dr (him) and Ms (me). Come on @ANZ_AU you can do better than that! #girlscanbedoctors #bank #sexist
