Glad to see NBC referring it to DISCREDITED but DEBUNKED would be more accurate since it was fraudulent from the start and not just an inaccurate hypothesis. #AutisticActually #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
Autism advocates say they are fearful that if RFK Jr. is confirmed, it could undermine years of progress in unlinking autism and vaccines, while potentially diverting research dollars to a theory already discredited by hundreds of studies worldwide.

If you want to know why the rates of diagnosis related to Autism has increased over time ...

The simple answer is that awareness, understanding, and acceptance of Autism has increased over time.

this one time we bought this LARGE tray of a variety of pastries. I asked my kid (then 6) which one they wanted to try first. There were 5-6 rows, each its own flavor. They pointed to the leftmost flavor and said “I want to go in order!” and I’ve gotta say I was bursting with pride #AutisticActually

Tangentially: I honestly *would* love to see a shift from the “Actually Autistic”

to #AutisticActually

To me it carries the same intended meaning as the actually-first was meant to

But removes a bit of scold and suggests enlightening the audience.

But I’m highly particular with language 😅

I'm emotionally in the liminal space between the first and third shout

it's a bit silly, a CLEAR trauma response to current events

here I am, though
shouting about Autistic rights 🫶🏻

I like to “kill ‘em with kindness”

But by that I mean “infuriate to the point of having a fatal cardiovascular or myocardial event”

But, y’know, my people ARE prone to being overly literal. #AutisticActually
I had a man with the audacity to try to physically intimidate me on my own porch and he was STEAMING mad (about problems of his own making)

And I was just like “hey, Kev. You alright? You seem out of sorts.”

I think he had a minor stroke. I watched him implode and storm off.

It was delicious. 🤌🏻

I will be considering changing to #AutisticActually tag. I'm very used to using #ActuallyAutistic, so it would take some getting used to. But if we're doing it, I'm doing it! 🙂 (I'm self-dg.)

Me: Do you remember how you did it?

My wife: I just asked about her life and we found common interests.

Dr. Megan Anna Neff says, "When therapists have not yet deconstructed autism narratives and worked through ableist and allistic-centered beliefs, they often re-enact doer-done-to dynamics with their autistic clients."

Everytime I see "kilo" written as "K" (uppercase), I read "Kelvin".

#Bluesky summarizes things as "K". In #running, it's also "K" like "10K".

"K" is the #ISO metric and SI symbol for Kelvin, while "k" (lowercase) is for "kilo" or "thousands".

Received my Autism diagnosis in 2024.

Thought at first I might just keep it secret. Concluded that people work it out soon enough anyway, so might as well own it.

Navigating what’s left of my thirties with my infant daughter and allistic wife.

Looking for my people.

Being able to see patterns that are hard for others to see thanks to your autistic brain is great, until you try to share that insight with someone else and then you feel like you might as well be wearing a tin foil hat… #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticActually

It’s even broader than a spectrum if we’re being honest

It’s pretty 4-dimensional, I think

To your point, we are not a monolith and the neurodiversity among us is astounding
