Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Another bit from the same piece: Parents and caregivers of autistic children should be made clearly aware that the only thing pursuing an autism “cure” will do is make their families victims of a mercenary autism pseudoscience industry. #autism #neurodiversity
Parents need to understand that autism is inborn, meaning that trying to “cure” autism will not help their autistic child one bit—though it will likely traumatize that child while warping their parents’ attitude towards them.

This is great. You might also read me and @juststimming.bsky.social on “profound autism.” It’s one of the pieces I’m most proud of.

Curious how many people out there realized that they were autistic only after a child's diagnosis, or understood their autistic child/themselves all the better bc of trait overlap. Does this describe you?

Ahead of the Android launch of the fraut app, here's a thread about who we are and why we made an autism support app.

🧵 We're Tony and Beth. When we're not developing software, we have other jobs - Tony is a GP and Beth is a lecturer. We're both autistic, with neurodivergent kids. (1/4)

A very long thread, and all of it is excellent. Proper information - and hope! - for parents of autistic kids can be life-changing.
I feel so awful for parents of newly diagnosed autistic kids right now, being drowned in such hateful nonsense. You deserve better. Your autistic kid deserves better.

My kid was diagnosed 20 yrs ago; please let me give you hopeful advice:

Just because we're new here - these are things we believe:

Nothing about us without us;
Trans rights are human rights;
Black autistic experiences need to be amplified;
Paracetamol and vaccines do not cause autism;
ABA is abuse.

Please feel free to block us if you disagree. 💖
