Wow. Just wow!

I always say that if you want to help autistic people, empower autistic people. Today, neurodiverse employees at @Square celebrated #Neurodiversity by highlighting voices like @fodderfigure, @aneeman, @singer_judy,
@autselfadvocacy, & @jtknoxroxs.

“The existence of autistic people like me is not a tragedy. If you spend time following hashtags like #ActuallyAutistic and the work of organizations like @autselfadvocacy and @awnnetwork_, a cure is the last thing on any of our minds.”

“I’m #bipolar and proud, and I live well with it, and I think that’s the goal for everyone with a mental illness.” - #DemiLovato
*Note. Many refer to bipolar as a condition, not illness. However, this is the voice of the bipolar person and it’s respected.
