DPAC (Disabled People Against Cuts) is organising an event in Manchester to celebrate the Twentieth Anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People (CRPD). This is a unique Convention as it is the only UN Human Rights Treaty that has been written by the subjects – Disabled people. We will also protest outside No. 10 North to highlight the continued attacks by the UK Government over the last 16 years on our rights, living standards, social security, employment, social care, access to inclusive education and inclusion in society as equal citizens.

It is not as if I didn't try, to figure things out w/the help of profs.😉

Pa. students soon won’t be able to use cell phones in school. Here’s what to know about the ban.
Gov. Shapiro is expected to sign a bill banning cell phones from the start of the school day to the end. A number of area high schools currently allow kids to use phones at lunch and in hallways.

Someone claiming they understand autism better than me because they were diagnosed 25 years earlier is hilarious. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAppreciation #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

In other words, you learned what you know before the adult Autistic community showed the world how dangerously fraudulent the generally accepted professional understanding of neurodivergence was.

I remember people defending Hans Asperger. I remember Aspie supremacy. Your experience is worthless.

The DSM is not a legitimate authority on neurodivergence. We, the neurodivergent community in aggregate, are the only ones who can legitimately claim that authority. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs

It ultimately comes down to lazy writing that perpetuates stereotypes. If we want to have more disabled characters on screen, writers must get curious about the lived experiences of people with disabilities.

It's international adolescent health week. Young people are too often forgotten in the health sector, grouped either with younger children or all adults. Young people’s voice & lived experience must be heard & acted upon in health policy, research and practice
