Yes this is a real sign, advising to ignore a child in distress.
ABA at its finest, lets not forget the clicker training and reinforcers either.
Sickening.

You're not forcing us to overcome fear with exposure therapy... your exposing us to pain.

We are so often told our interests are 'childish', it's not true.
It is ok to like what we like as long as we are not harming anyone.
Double standards.

How to treat autism?
Personally I like to treat mine to a nice meal and profiteroles.
How about you?
Let's go!

Why is it when a child is autistic the first thing that is suggested by professionals is not love, acceptance & encouragement....
It's discipline, compliance & mimicking NT behaviour?
ABA is one of the first things suggested?
WHY?
Self soothing seen as misbehaviour?
WHY?

We are often asked "But does ABA 'work'?
Oh it works, it smashes your autistic childs esteem & moulds them to mimic neurotypical behaviour whilst in constant fight or flight.
PTSD for life & no awareness of rights or autonomy, susceptible to grooming.
Is that what you want?

What is an Aspie supremacist?
Put simply it's a person who has a disgnosis of the now phased out 'Aspergers', who clings to that name so as not to be seen as one of 'those autistics' meaning those they would label as 'low functioning'.

Dear Journalists,
Please stop referring to autistic people as suffering with autism, living with autism or having autism.
We are not suffering with a disease, our autism isn't a roommate & we can't take our autism away or put it down therefore we don't have it.
Thank you!

The brilliant autistic actor and composer Anthony Hopkins.
"My philosophy is: What people say about me is none of my business.
I am who I am and do what I do.
I expect nothing and accept everything.
And that makes life easier.

Autism hour is the equivalent of sticking a wheelchair ramp down over a steep flight of stairs for 60 minutes and then removing it.

The lighter penguin is an elderly female whose partner died this year. The darker one is a younger male who lost his partner two years ago. Biologists have followed them as they meet every night to comfort each other. They stand for hours together watching the lights. +

Please retweet, children are being failed autism diagnosis due to showing concern and displaying emotion.

The beekeeper forgot to insert the frames in the hive in which the bees collect the honey. The hardworking insects then built their own architecture from the honeycomb so that the air can flow freely and maintain a stable temperature🐝

We've been in contact with Cambridge police, they've stated that on their records there's no police presence booked for Friday's protest.
They welcome our right to protest & may now send 1 or 2 officers along to check everyone's ok.
This differs from what we were told by SBC.

Dear venues and providers, please rethink your 'autism hours'.
We as autistics have trouble sleeping and your times of 8,9,and 10 am are not helpful at all.
Is this a get them in early and out tick list quota? It certainly seems so!

ABA removes the childs right to say no.
The childs right to choice is irrelevant and bodily autonomy is disregarded.
Why do so many choose to ignore autistic adults when we say this is wrong?

Saying you grieve for a child who's heart still beats is abusive.
Saying you wish God would fix them is abusive.
Using unproven therapies is abusive.
Restricting diet for no reason is abusive.
Using ABA is abusive.
Shutting down Autistics is abusive.

Nearing the end of April, we will see a slight decrease in the 'cure autism now', quests for research into eugenics and warrior parent posts.
Can't wait!

Today we had our Christmas party, 40 autistic kids & 40 parents & carers.
Complete acceptance, no compliance or bribes, our parent members make us so damn proud!
Not one meltdown!
That's what happens when there are plenty of stimm toys, a quiet area & above all understanding!

An Autism diagnosis doesn't change who you are, it explains why you think differently.
