Okay, let’s talk about how a Nonspeaking Autistic writer, Gregory Tino, just published a children’s book called The Autistic Boy in The Unruly Body, and how it’s the #1 new release on Amazon’s “Autism and Asperger’s” category. But first, a #NeuroInclusive story about #Apraxia 
We made this #NeuroInclusive story with Gregory’s permission, using illustrations from his book. 86% of autistic people have clinically significant apraxia/dyspraxia. That’s a motor planning— not motor ability— disability.
People with mild apraxia may have minor speech or bodily symptoms, and unlike autism, apraxia can be mild or severe. #Apraxia is often called #dyspraxia interchangeably or may be specified as “apraxia of speech.”
yo folks: I am feeling sadistic. Should I go watch #Anek first day first show and do a tweet review? Been pitching for an #OwnVoice review to media houses but no one's interested.
Keep me in your thoughts people. This is a difficult mission. Pray I have my sanity intact after this
Just found out I booked ticket for tomorrow. So cancelled and lost 150 bucks and got another ticket. Not good omens I tell you 🤣🤪
I was inspired by this graphic to start tracking the books I read and use in my Spanish classroom. I want to invite other World Language teachers to join me! I'll be using the hashtag #WLBookAudit to share what I learn. #langchat
Here's a thread of what I've done so far.

First, if you haven't read the article that accompanies the infographic, I highly recommend it. But one important update is this version uses broken mirrors to "illustrate the continued misrepresentation of the underrepresented communities"
Knowing how often underrepresented communities are misrepresented in literature, I make a conscious effort to include as many books #ownvoices authors as I can find. In WL circles we often call these #authres, although that term can be problematic(that's for another convo though)
