Bluesky should adopt "tweeting" because we are in the sky that's blue and birds can fly and they tweet. We tweet. Yes
Also since twitter died and was resurrected here, that's also a reason.

I'm now at a higher follower count than I was even at my peak at Twitter, and my core observation is that this is a platform that rewards authentic engagement.
I WORKED to build a Twitter audience (for good reason-- it materially helped my organizing at the time), and it was work that felt gross.

Why ABA is not a good approach for autistic kids: "Dig deeper. What is going on with the child underneath this behavior? What are the child's strengths, their challenges in this context—their needs? What would it look like to truly support them?" by LearnPlayThrive:

By focusing on observable behavior, we often miss the true needs of our autistic clients for connection, safety, regulation, acceptance, and more. Behaviorist approaches teach Autistic kids that...

Vaccines do not cause autism. A small study in 1998 suggested a link between vaccinations and autism spectrum disorder. The study was reviewed further and retracted. In addition, the author's medical license was revoked due to falsified information.

Weather you have a following or not, leaving twitter is the right option right now. Don't only think about yourself, grow on a new platform, grow on bluesky. 💙

Yes, you did label people when your were younger too…
Just instead of Autism/ADHD/etc., they were labelled “disruptive”, “stupid”, “difficult”, “problems”, and all sorts of slurs (even more than they are today).

I don't understand why people are still using X. If you are worried about losing an established network audience, some real numbers: I had 30K+ followers there and I have 13K here--the engagement is the same, if not better, here. Re-build. You don't *need* anything Muskrat's empire offers.

I hate how Autistic burnout is an overwhelming wave of revulsion.
No, I don't want to go to work today. It doesn't just feel hard, it feels impossible.
No, I don't want to go to school today. You're asking me to lift more than I can carry.
But our culture doesn't care about disability so we go on

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

But let's say sexual harassment is a manifestation of one's autism. That actually has some loose credibility.
We learn differently, therefore we might not realize someone is expressing discomfort. That's as close as sexual harassment as an autistic trait gets.

As an autistic woman I am sick and tired of seeing autistic men have their bad behaviour excused by autism.
"But but but he's autistic. He doesn't know 🥺"
He does. He does know.

When you see an autistic meltdown over a "small thing", usually it's not that one thing that caused the meltdown, usually it's just the final straw amongst a lot of many other issues that piled up
(And even when it really is over a "small thing", it may not be small to them)

totally anecdotal, but i feel like it's less that autism is suddenly rising, and more that we just didn't consider the fact that your grandpa dedicating three rooms of his house to model trains was anything but neurotypical

my autistic self does not understand friendship degradation, honestly I can go years without seeing people and still feel the same. also, i usually tend to go all in on friendships, and feel much closer to certain people than I actually am!
