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.

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

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.

“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… Image 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. ImageImage

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?

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.

🙃 more children are being diagnosed because there is better awareness and understanding of Autism. Especially autism in girls.

It’s disgusting. #autism… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Autism Speaks is extremely harmful and doesn't actually put a lot of money towards research/ support for living with autism.

As Autism Acceptance/ awareness month/week/ day (depending what country you’re in) is approaching.

And why the infinity symbol is more accepted and widely used now. #autism… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 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…

I want to make this clear. I am Diagnosed as Autistic. I have a diagnosis. I was diagnosed professionally by a professional.

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.

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

It’s frustrating when someone is manipulating and twisting what happened and making out I did something I didn’t do. Just because I’m my own person with my own mind and I don’t follow the crowd in bullying someone after they’ve already apologised. Then when someone writes a posts about you and their followers come and attack you… so I wrote a post defending myself as i haven’t done what they’re claiming yet they then play the victim and makes out I’ve sent people to harass them when they posted about me first?
