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…

I want to make this clear. I am Diagnosed as Autistic. I have a diagnosis. I was diagnosed professionally by a professional. I don’t appreciate certain people *cough* Connie Manning accusing me of not being Autistic. It took me a long time to process and accept my diagnosis.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Any follower from her account she created to target Neurodivergent Rebel and other Autistic people…. I’ve blocked for my own safety as Connie Manning clearly needs professional help as she’s been on a 3 year long harassment campaign targeting and bullying twitter.com/buggbabe… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If anyone wants to see the extents this woman goes to in order to harass and target Autistic people then here’s a thread with proof. She’s OBSESSED with trying to target and destroy Neurodivergent Rebel and she targets anyone who uses the hashtags #ActuallyAutistic

Monday was my cardiology appointment.
Scans show my heart is structurally good… YAY 🙈. But the bummer is my heart is extremely sensitive, so many things can trigger me into a heart episode… even walking triggers it, stress, exercise and even just standing up. 🙃 Image
He mentioned their could be an small issue with the sodium channel. I’m being booked in to have a heart monitor fitted for a set amount of days to then see what’s fully going on and see if they can help me.
Usually medication would be recommended in circumstances like mine but with my heart really sensitive they are concerned about my heart reacting to it too much. So they want to do this further test to see what my heart does over a certain amount of days then they can decide if… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Can people please report this Twitter account pretending to be Neurodivergent Rebel? They’ve been going around accusing Autistic people of being frauds and not being Autistic. This Twitter impersonating neurodivergent rebel is ran by a woman in British twitter.com/buggbabe?s=21&…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Here’s a thread that shows more of what Connie has done over the last few years. Including transphobia, bullying, doxxing etc.
This is a link to Connie Manning’s Facebook page where she regularly enjoys commenting and writing posts targeting Neurodivergent Rebel and convincing everyone they are “fake” and not autistic. They use their Facebook page to try turn parents against m.facebook.com/10005773013278…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Sadly some parents of Autistic people decide to go after Autistic people on social media because they don’t believe we are Autistic as these parents are uneducated about Autism being a spectrum and the only presentation of Autism that exists to them is the one of their child’s.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bet it will blow their mind to learn some Autistic people are scientists, own businesses and are parents 😂🙄
the ignorance though.
If we don’t struggle in the same way as their autistic child or of other Autistic people they’ve met them to them you can’t possibly be Autistic. 🤣😂 it’s literally just uneducated ignorance. They really need to step away and go learn about Autism properly

Thread: The way Autistic people are being held accountable for mistakes NEEDS to change as currently people are doing so in an ableist way and causing more harm.
#autism #ActuallyAutistic #allautistics #AutismAcceptance #autistic #accountability #bullying #dogpiling
there’s a few things I thought were important to talk about that me and other advocates in the community have been discussing. It seems that in this community if you do one thing wrong then there’s nothing you can do to stop people coming after you despite apologising
and publicly and learning from what you did wrong. It’s almost as if you get bullied and chased out of the community and there’s no recovering from if as people won’t let you. That isn’t okay. It pushes people out of the community and isolated them.
