“Parents need to hear from people who have lives similar to what our children will experience. Adults can warn us about avoidable mistakes and they can counter our assumptions about what it means to live a good life - even when that life is complicated.” tinyurl.com/y4ozufse

I’m continuously impressed by @Square! Yesterday, Square’s #neurodiversity employee group hosted our current @Pathways students for a discussion about the tech industry, #AutismAtWork, and successfully building one’s career. Thanks @ClaudiaJNg, @CosmicKarmic & everyone involved!

I’m coming up with terms I want included in the index of our new book... So if you took a new undergraduate textbook on autism off the bookshelf, what would you look up in the index? Your suggestion could make the list. Classic terms and cutting edge topics welcome!

THANK YOU! Only 14% of autistic adults have had ANY sort of work this past year in an integrated setting. Thanks to your support of our pilot effort, 21 chronically unemployed autistic people are together generating $1.46 Million in annual salary/benefits. #Neurodiversity #Autism

Also, that branding? Designed by #ActuallyAutistic people (whom we paid) including one of our former students. Not only did she have expertise in graphic design and color scheme, but she also proposed accessible fonts for our brand.

The more time I spend with autistic women, the more in awe I am of how bloody brilliant we are. The stories we tell, the lives we’ve lived, the challenges we face head on - it ends up being this gloriously rich tapestry and it can be so joyful.

Who is autistic, loves data, and is looking for a job in Chicago? @EY_US is hiring for their second Neurodiversity Center of Excellence. The work is integrated, but employees get additional #ActuallyAutistic peer support. More info under EY here: sway.office.com/lg7Bf55MlfpA…

Even gay men have a crush on Lt. Uhura. This Saturday, I joined @NichelleIsUhura in Temecula for the @SoCalArt4Autism gala, whose programs support the artistic expression of autistic individuals - like these two 18yo twin brothers who perform in a hip hop dance troop. 🖖

There is in our society a set of people whose oratory skills should be envied by politicians & pulpit preachers alike. Analytical listeners, perceptive of everything & beautifully communicative in wildly expressive ways. Nonverbal people are constantly speaking. #AutismAcceptance
