This video is about the current bullying I’m experiencing and other Autistic people are experiencing from a 50+ year old woman called Connie Manning from Langley, BC, Canada. Her Twitter is @buggbabe and she runs a Facebook page called Autism Spectrum Disorder. I’ll include proof… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Link to a thread with screenshots of all that’s happened to @NeuroRebel , me and other Autistic people over the years
Also I suggest everyone block this account in the screenshot. They follow Connie, it’s likely Connie behind it too. It’s someone who doesn’t understand that Autism is a spectrum and not every Autistic person goes to a SEN school and that Autistic masking is real and there’s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

STOP LYING ABOUT ME CONNIE. Just leave me alone. You know full well I’ve never done that as I continually write about how Autism is a disability. And my support workers aren’t just for my Autism, YOU KNOW THAT. I’m physically disabled and I have chronic illnesses. YOU KNOW I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
How many posts have I written about how Autism is a disability?
So why would I berate someone for saying Autism is a disability? You make zero sense Connie and you need to stop lying and stop targeting Autistic people.
How many times do I have to continually show people my diagnosis’s because Connie Manning keeps targeting me and spreading lies about me online?
She seriously needs to stop. SHES A 50+ YEAR OLD WOMAN acting like a child. This isn’t going to end well for her. #ConnieManning… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I’m confused… because I see parents label themselves as “autism mom” and I get offended by a neurotypical person using their child’s diagnosis as an identity.
Our diagnosis isn’t neurotypical peoples identity. #autism#autistic#ActuallyAutistic#AutismAcceptance
When you use a disability or condition as your identity that you do NOT have it’s called identity appropriation.
Parents calling themselves “Autism Mum” “Autism dad” “Autism parent” is offensive and harmful As they’re using their child’s Autism diagnosis as their own identity when they have no right to. What if the child doesn’t want people to know they’re Autistic? They’re outing their… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“Not the community I know & love”… yeah that’s because you speak over Autistic people and silence us and block us for speaking out… so your “community” is an echo chamber of mostly others who ignore Autistic people on this. #ActuallyAutistic#allautistics#autism#autistic… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I don’t understand why ANYONE wants to be associated with the puzzle piece symbol considering the organisation that uses it partnered and supported the JRC that straps ELECTRIC SHOCK DEVICES to Autistic people. It’s stronger than a taser and designed to hurt.
Autistic people DIED at The JRC, they were tortured.
Yes… this disgusting comment was on a post about an Autistic girls poem. Are people really this uneducated and ignorant about Autism? Especially Autistic girls?
Link to the post m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…
this is just a poem describing some of what she goes through. It doesn't explain every single thing she experiences and struggles with.
Do people not actually know how hard it is to get diagnosed as autistic?
How thorough and long and intense the ASD diagnostic testing is?
I know you’ve blocked me for pointing out about the puzzle piece symbol after tagging me in a post… but please do try to listen to Autistic people who are pointing out that the puzzle piece symbol isn’t used anymore and the rainbow infinity symbol is the symbol that’s used now.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Some important infographics about the puzzle piece symbol and problematic language.

How can I be more aware?
Most people know Autism exists, but only in extremes. Autism is a brain difference that can range from clear to subtle. Autism is characterized by patterns of mrsspeechiep.com/shop-all… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Most people know Autism exists, but only in extremes. Autism is a brain difference that can range from clear to subtle. Autism is characterized by patterns of differences in the areas of Social Communication, Interests, Routines, and Sensory Processing.
Take Action & Advocate:
•Listen to and learn from the Autistic and disabled communities
•Talk and share about Autism in more than stereotypical extremes
•Educate others about equality, acceptance, and accommodations
