More nope on #ProfoundAutism: An Autistic person’s ALS was only diagnosed a couple of months before they died, as their symptoms of progressive muscle weakness & associated disability were assumed to be 'challenging behavior' due to being 'severely Autistic.'

Grave Concerns About Profound Autism
The label "Profound autism" bungles the support needs of autistic people with complex disabilities, and will endanger autistic lives.

Fabulous research by Wassell (2025) about the importance of Autistic Joy & monotropism!
"Autistic voices suggest that the key barrier to
joyful experience is not autism itself but other
people's lack of acceptance of authentic
autistic behaviours such as stimming and
pursuit of special interests."

Experience of Autistic Joy!
Embrace Monotropism!
4 Themes

Importance of special interests
Things must be right
Other people need to change
