It's that time of year again! Autism "Awareness" Month often coincides with a spike in ableist profiteering from orgs like A$ that want to take advantage of well-meaning non-autistics.
Don't be that person- listen to autistic advocates and steer away from the grifters this April.

#AutismAcceptanceMonth starts tomorrow. Please don't give to Autism Speaks; their $$ rarely supports autistic people/families, and their 'awareness' work portrays autistic people as burdens, not humans. From @autisticadvocacy.org, a good org to support instead.

Before You Donate to Autism Speaks, Consider the Facts
Very little money donated to Autism Speaks goes toward helping autistic people and families.

Happening now! Don’t miss out - Come find me at Poster Session E (#E127) at #CNS2025 to discuss how brain functional connectivity, but not neuroanatomy, captures the interrelationship between sex and gender in preadolescents.

Thanks to those who shared a version of this study on the experiences of autistic parents of autistic children (who became aware of being autistic or sought their autism assessment since having an autistic child). Here is the corrected link - @thinkingautism.bsky.social kindly shared an older post.
