So let this be a reminder as Autism Awareness/ acceptance week/ month is coming up… DO NOT SUPPORT National Autistic Society in the UK. @Autism #autism #autistic #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #actuallyautistic #allautistics
If you want to learn more about this therapy and how harmful it is then here’s a link to a document explaining what it is and how it’s harmful and it includes links to the research studies that prove ABA/ PBS therapy is harmful docs.google.com/document/d/11_…

Also for YEARS the National Autistic Society’s young Autistic ambassadors have tried to get them to make a statement against PBS therapy and to STOP funding it and hiring ABA/PBS therapists but so far they’ve had zero luck. #autism #autistic #ActuallyAutistic #allautistics… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
1. Oh was yesterday #AutismAwarenessDay? Dang. I missed it. Instead I stayed off of social Media and spent a lovely day with my #ActuallyAutistic family not waving jigsaw pieces around, turning blue or spreading misinformation around that makes money for charities. 
2. Later on I did a 3hr workshop on #AutisticMasking to 400 lovely Danish people with @DrAmyPearson. I missed #AutismAwarenessDay yet still somehow managed to pass on a shitload of useful & practical #Autism knowledge to a shitload of people
3. Its strangely like there's no need to have #AutismAwarenessDay, #AutismAwarenessWeek, or #AutismAwarenessMonth because for many Autistic people every day is, week and month of the year where we put out immensities of useful & productive #Autism information in various forms.
Parents, grandparents, extended family:
Everyone feels happier when they've got space, permission, and encouragement to be themselves. Here are some adjustments you can make to your home and family to help your #autistic child thrive.

Be Their Rock
You are their most trusted people in the world. If you can’t understand and appreciate them, who can? If your child or young person is attached to you to the point of separation anxiety, be patient.

Give Them Space
Give your child emotional space regularly. Make it part of their emotional regulation routine.
They will need an area where they can be left to chill out/decompress. This might not be their bedroom.

They just put the book and read the whole book, from the mirror. Now only, they are mastering. They have not mastered, they are mastering. @SriNithyananda

Every powerful cognition you manifest you raise your frequency. Understand, if powerful cognitions are the source of your energy and excitement… you raise your frequency.

When I say powerful cognition, if you decide to tell yourself, cognize yourself “I am Paramashiva’ that is most powerful cognition. If you decide to tell yourself @SriNithyananda

“I am sick” and whatever-whatever you wanted to say, low inner image, then that becomes powerless cognition. The way you hold you, world, others, everyone within you is cognition.

It’s #AutismAWerewolfWeek, so I’m here to tell you how being autistic is EXACTLY like being a werewolf:
1. Some people think we’re a myth, they don’t believe we exist
2. Some people believe we exist, but we’re monsters

3. Some people think we’re cursed
4. Some people think we can be cured
5. Some people think they should be able to tell, just from looking at us (What are the signs? Monobrow? Fangs? Bushy tail?)

7. Some people think we’re supernatural, that we are more than human, superhuman, gifted

So this week it is #AutismAwarenessWeek. As I've tweeted before I have a 4 year old son who's been diagnosed with @Autism. He's a very happy and boisterous little boy, but he struggles in many areas. Eating is one of these areas.
2/ Last week I attended an all-day training session on Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). As the day progressed it was easy to see that the slides were describing all the issues my son faces.
3/ It is incredibly common for children on the spectrum to have ARFID, so it is vital that children who have it are diagnosed and plans can be made to help them.
My key learnings from the day:

I just have one thing to say about #AutismAwarenessWeek and that is this;
It’s fucking disgusting.
It’s fucking disgusting.
Look, I get you want to seem like you’re helping the autistic community, but so called ‘awareness’ is not the way to do that.
Most people are already aware of autism anyway.
Most people are already aware of autism anyway.
What autistic people want is acceptance.
