Many resources, organizations, and public narratives about autism have centered white experiences. When whiteness is seen as the “default autistic story,” challenges raised by Black autistic people can feel unfamiliar or “not about me.”

Joulu tulee, mutta kaikilla ei ole siihen varaa. Haastan sut lahjoittamaan johonkin joulukeräykseen omien mahdollisuuksiesi mukaan, että vähävaraisetkin voivat viettää joulunaikaa.

Laitan kommentteihin esimerkkejä lahjoitusmahdollisuuksista, näiden lisäksi on varmasti muitakin kohteita.

Kiitos!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Eg. Finnish society (from which I hail), is quite different from American/British society. I share skin color, but not sociocultural background with most "Whites" in English-speaking online spaces. Also, English is my 2nd language and trust me, being "fluent" is not same as being native speaker! 3/

Hairdresser tomorrow. I think I'm gonna go back to layers and having my natural curls again. This time with more patience, not immediately grabbing the hair straighteners when the curls don't behave. 😅 #CurlyGirl

I got my dear family member's button collection. I've always kept every single button I get. Doesn't everyone? 😀
It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

We've always been skeptical about autism-gut microbiome claims. A new survey of 30 studies explored the "connection," and, after "accounting for statistical, technical and conceptual flaws, the team reached a clear conclusion: 'There’s nothing there.'"

A new review of 15 years of studies on the connection between the microbiome and autism reveals widespread statistical and conceptual errors.

The most completely mundane replies being hid in my mentions without my consent or control is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous.

@pfrazee.com y’all gotta give us back control of our own accounts this is out of hand.

Literally hid a cat picture someone sent me.

I can't wear hoodies without a zip. They're a sensory annoyance. The hood weighs and pulls the shirt back a little, I'm always having to pull the shirt down by the collar. And the hood is on the way when I wear a jacket + scarf.

I like these hoodies I have.
I could just cut the hood off! 🤔😀 #Autism

Wanna watch 11 springer spaniel puppies on 24/7 puppy live? 🐶

#PentuLive #Finland
One of the reasons why Finland is the happiest country in the world is that the public broadcaster Yle sends a live feed of the first 8 weeks of a pack of puppies every fall. It’s already the fifth edition of ”Finland’s most therapeutic live feed”.

This is what I call value for my tax money
Pentulive 24/7 | Pentulive
Pentuliven pikkuiset kehittyvät vauhdikkaasti ja jokainen pentu on saanut nimensä! Kahdeksan viikkoa kestävässä suorassa lähetyksessä seurataan englannin­springer­spanieli Murua ja tämän pentuetta.
