Myth: Autistic people are poisoned by heavy metals.

Fact: Autistic people's preferences in music are very diverse & we don't like or dislike metal any more or less than other neurotypes.

OTD 03.03.1975 Earth, Wind & Fire released their classic That’s the Way of the World. Writer Michael Harriot on the significance of that album & EWF: “To this day, every time I hear it, I remember what joy sounds like. What love tastes like. What home feels like.” #earthwindfire #michaelharriot

I know the expression is "It's okay to not be okay" but I am more of "It's okay to not be okay with not being okay."

Meltdowns happen, breakdowns happen. Our mental health is not infinite. And we're allowed to not like it.

We don't have to be okay with it. We will be okay again.

It is #BlackHistoryMonth and I am looking at the Black Canadians who have made a mark in our history.

Today, it is Hippo Galloway!

Born in Buffalo on March 24, 1882, Galloway was raised in Dunnville, Ontario.

Kids at a park: this is my new best friend! We like all the same stuff and I wanna play with him/her everyday! Can they come to our house?
Parents: I’m glad you made a new friend, sweetie! What’s his/her name?
Kids: I don’t know.

Virtual health care, a profit-driven industry, is now being allowed to do ADHD assessments for kids (instead of in person), for a fee (instead of free), in Canada.
What could go wrong? Michelle & Anne explain!

Reported blatant racist hate on Post platform more than a week ago. No response. When we commented on a Post admin's profile she said "tag me". Tagged her, still no response.
They have 1 more week to do something or we leave the platform.

Political pundits stand as the true oracles of 2024, wielding their unmatched power to predict election outcomes with the precision of a coin flip.

Sorry for the X link, but Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs' duet on "Fast Car" at the Grammys was a glimpse of America without the hatred, lies, and bullshit that have been raining down on our heads for years now. So healing. https://twitter.com/EZRide...

Interviewer: Why do you think Minecraft is so popular with autistic people?

Me: Minecraft is enjoyed by lots of people. Autistic people happen to be among the group of people that we call... people.

In response to Hester Prynnecess 🐊.
I came to understand I was autistic because all 3 of our sons were diagnosed and one day my wife said "you're autistic, dummy. how do you not know that?"

This website is great too:

In response to glinyx.
i haven't seen a therapist but i would probably ask them their opinion on ABA and if they were in favour i would stay far away

ABA is a dealbreaker for me for lots of things - it's not necessarily related to therapy but would give me a lot of insight into their values re: autistic people

Now would be a good time to check in on your Jewish friends. Ask how they are feeling & listen without judgement.

After years of misdiagnosis, Malaysian filmmaker Beatrice Leong realized she was #autistic by intuitively understanding why an autistic kid she saw was in distress. https://www.nst.com.my/lif...
