Things need to change. We need services to start realising Autistic people need support. And being “high functioning” shouldn’t be a reason to deny an Autistic person support they need. Social services judgements on Autistic people are KILLING US. They believe if you’re… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

There’s a reason the “high functioning” label is harmful. It leads to our support needs being denied and often leads to su*cide. #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #allautistics #AutismAcceptance #autismawareness
Also so important to recognise that those YOU JUDGE to be “high functioning” are often vulnerable and at risk of Mate Crime and being taken advantage of and not recognising it.
This is a thread of the reality of what being in a Psychiatric hospital is like for an Autistic person and how dangerous it is for them. Sadly many Autistic people lose their lives in these hospitals. #autism #autistic #allautistics #actuallyautistic #AutismAcceptance… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The way I’ve been treated my social services is disgusting. And I’m terrified for my life as I don’t want to end up back in hospital or almost dying again or actually dead this time. #autism #autistic #actuallyautistic #allautistics #autismawareness #AutismAcceptance… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
If anyone can help me or knows of any charities or organisations that can help me fight to get my support back from @suffolkcc @RHopfensperger social services and also get them EDUCATED on Autism properly then please let me know. As I really need all the help I can get right now.

As Autism Acceptance/ awareness month/week/ day (depending what country you’re in) is approaching. Here’s a post about why the puzzle piece symbol is considered a hate symbol by so many Autistic people. And why the infinity symbol is more accepted and widely used now. #autism… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
It’s time to listen to the Autistic community (Autistic people NOT Neurotypical people) and start respecting their voices and wishes for the puzzle piece to be thrown out... and yes I will be using identity first language in this post as it’s the preferred language and saying… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Also it sounds like it’s an illness or disease by saying “has” or “with” and that’s not what Autism is and it makes it sound like it’s something that can be cured like an illness… when it can’t. Our brains ARE Autistic, we view the world and life with our Autistic brain… it’s a… 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. 🙃
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…
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…

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_…

@abaukdiscussion #BanABA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
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…
