Neurodiversity is empowering.
That's why some people are against it - exactly because we're not talking in terms of functioning levels, or severity, or comparing autistics.
Neurodiversity assumes that all people, their neurologies and needs have equal value and should be fought for in the same way.

Dear Government and Press.
Autism is neurodevelopmental. A form of neurodivergence. It is not a mental health condition, or behavioural condition, or a learning disability.
It concerns me that people in charge want to slash benefits but apparently haven't the slightest idea what we are.

After seeing some anti-autistic unpleasantness in the writing world today (and hitting some professional roadblocks myself recently), it seems like #neurodiversity week is coming at just the right time 💙❤️💜

When I was diagnosed as autistic at the age of 34, the psychologist said, "Congratulations, you're part of a community of wonderful people."
This #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek I'm so thankful for my diagnosis and for that community. (thread.)

Reminder that Neurodiversity refers to the *whole range* of human neurology, which includes neurodivergent AND neurotypical.
If you're only celebrating autistic children during #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek, then you're missing the point. Let's see some diversity - of skin colour, age, and gender.

I understand that right now, it may not feel like we have much to celebrate.
So to all my neurodivergent friends out there, can I say:
You are a perfectly unique human being. You deserve to be loved, celebrated and respected.
We'll keep fighting till it happens.

Exactly how it was for me getting an ADHD diagnosis totally out of the blue at 38, and also realising I was autistic as an adult. A rollercoaster of feelings.
