Theresa Mccoy+FollowOfsted’s Autism Extremism ControversyOfsted is under fire for a training manual that links autistic kids to a higher risk of extremism—seriously. The National Autistic Society and human rights groups are calling it out for being offensive and oversimplified, warning it could stigmatize autistic children. Ofsted says it’s just about understanding risks, but critics argue it’s painting a target on vulnerable kids. Is this safeguarding or just discrimination in disguise? #AutismAcceptance #Ofsted #EducationNews #Health #MentalHealth20Share
Jacqueline Howard DDS+FollowEverything You Know About Autism? Wrong!Autism isn’t a catastrophe—it’s just misunderstood. Politicians keep spinning wild stories, but real talk: more diagnoses mean more people finally getting support, not disaster. Pia Baroncini’s parenting journey proves neurodivergent kids are on their own magical frequency, not broken. Lake Bell’s new book shows every brain is unique, and even celebs like Temple Grandin and Greta Thunberg are proof that neurodiversity is a superpower. Let’s ditch the stigma, use better language, and show some empathy. How has neurodiversity touched your life?

CosmicCarnival+FollowMake Real Connections with Autistic Friends ❤️Let's be real—talking to autistic people can feel intimidating at first. But honestly? It doesn't have to be! Here’s what I’ve learned that makes things SO much easier (and way more fun): • Forget about eye contact! 🙈 It’s not a big deal. I just focus on the convo, not where we’re looking. • Always ask before touching. A simple “Wanna hug?” goes a long way! • Quiet spaces = better chats. I try to avoid noisy spots so we can actually hear each other. • I keep my words clear and simple. No sarcasm or inside jokes unless I know they’re cool with it. • If there’s a meltdown or shutdown, I give space and patience. No questions, just support. ❤️ • Stimming? Totally normal! I let them be themselves and don’t make it weird. • I ask about their needs instead of guessing. It’s way better for both of us! At the end of the day, it’s all about respect, kindness, and appreciating people for who they are. We ALL want to be understood and accepted, right? 😅 #AutismAcceptance #RealConversations #BeKind #Education50Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowNew Hope for Early Autism DiagnosisA new tool called Autism Eyes, developed by Cleveland Clinic, could revolutionize early autism diagnosis by measuring a child's eye movements. This means faster results and quicker access to treatment during crucial early years. With April being Autism Acceptance Month, it’s great to see progress like this paving the way for better outcomes! 💙 #AutismAwareness #EarlyDiagnosis #AutismAcceptance #Health70Share
