can you imagine being so ignorant to state autistic people are only “impaired” by society? i have meltdowns/shutdowns completely alone at home.. when the shower sends me in to sensory overload, when i can’t eat any food/drink anything because every texture feels wrong -

I have an EHCP, by law this means you must make adjustments for me. it’s incredibly ableist and unlawful to say otherwise.
Do teachers need to make adjustments to their lessons to meet the multiple different needs of children in their classroom? I say no! 🧵

it’s so weird working with mental health services since i was 10 and them saying “we’ll work on your anxiety” “you won’t be anxious forever” to then being diagnosed with autism and now it’s “you’ll always be anxious because you have autism”

these are also all autistic & adhd traits - this is extremely worrying that they’ll use this to screen for PDs, when there’s multiple other things it could be.
Introducing the SAPAS, an 8-question screening for personality disorders, in primary care is a recipe for disaster. It's a perfect excuse to offroll, exclude and delegitimise patients in an already overwhelmed system with 1.6 million waiting for mental health services.

literally! it pisses me off. we should be moving away from thinking disorder is a bad/dirty word - like disabled for example.
and why is disorder okay for these people in some circumstances (like bipolar disorder, etc), but not when it’s referring to ASD/ADHD?

this is my form of stimming and i just needed to be able to do this to regulate myself). after i refused they called over security who grabbed me and forced me to sit down and kept shouting at me, once i sat down he told me to “sit properly” as i was on the edge of the chair -

to follow on from this i received a response to my complaint and honestly it was the best apology i’ve ever received from a service. no blame put on me whatsoever and they took full accountability.
So, since August i’ve been trying to contact my social worker to arrange the assessment as was planned when i finally had a permanent place to live. She’s ignored both my emails i’ve sent to her and i emailed her again, to finally receive this response. (i will name and shame) -

i’m physically disabled and Autistic - that doesn’t make me “profoundly” Autistic - it makes me Autistic with a physical disability. i can’t understand why they can’t get this.
@milton_damian
I see they they acknowledge that allegedly 'profound' autism =
"Kids who can’t speak" (not autism)
"severe intellectual disability" (not autism) &
"serious physical health problems" (not autism).
It's bizarre, isn't it.
Those aren't autism.

Yes you do! Autism gives you the ability to see the world in a completely different way from other people! You can focus on details that others simply cannot see. People with Autism can solve huge problems, because they aren't constrained by the same box as a normal mind!

I’ve been told many times previously “you’re not engaging”, but when i ask what i’m not engaging with they don’t know how to respond.
i attend all appts and do everything they suggest, but because i’m not getting better it’s clearly my fault - they like to shift the blame.
"Consider this phrase instead: 'We have not been able to engage them.'
"The onus is on us to try to help a person to engage - not simply to expect that they will. We need to really consider what each individual needs & do everything we can to provide it."

unlike NHS MH services who give a diagnosis of BPD/EUPD after 10 minutes or sometimes without seeing you at all 🤷♂️
While this has made a lot of people upset and angry, the essential point - that a diagnosis of ADHD should be made properly, after full and competent consideration of the patient and possible differential diagnoses - is a fair one. People deserve and are helped by good diagnoses.

when i was in college i overheard staff making fun of us, calling students attention-seeking, laughing at us during meltdowns or when we we got things wrong, telling my friend to “grow up” when he was going through a shutdown (couldn’t speak) - none of this surprises me -
I often talk about "attitude"
It's the attitude of staff that drives the punitive culture in our schools.
THIS is what I mean.

supposedly being an “advocate” for us, but actually manipulating and abusing us shows you’re a dangerous person to have a platform. maybe when your family called you manipulative, you should have listened rather than stating “it’s because i’m autistic”

my dad is autistic and dyslexic and was in school in the 70s, he was segregated from the other students and placed in what they called “the naughty childrens class”. my uncle has ADHD, he was placed in special ed also in the 70s/80s. neither my dad or uncle was diagnosed -
I was in elementary school in the 70’s.
My experience:
Did not know ONE autistic child.
No one had a gluten allergy.
No one had peanut allergies.
No one had milk allergies.
No one was bouncing off the walls from ADD or ADHD.
No one had autoimmune diseases at that

being disabled doesn’t mean there’s something “wrong” with us - that’s an ableist definition. it means we’re unable to do things that others can, which for me is very fitting of my experiences of autism & adhd.
Claiming autism is a disability seems to accept the Allistic view that there is something wrong with us, but I believe something is wrong with society for being such a hostile place to be neurodivergent.
