IriDas RFK jr‘s claims show just how little he knows about anything. This entire administration is the living embodiment of “better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” There is definitely no doubt. 1w

Kerrbearlib @IriDas it really does show how little he knows. It's very frustrating. 1w

The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism | Naoki Higashida

I have had a rough time lately, mentally. I'm stressing about an upcoming certification exam. I've been sick for two weeks now with some respiratory virus. I've been getting garbage sleep. I've had to listen to deplorable people use their platform to disparage transgender, asexuals, anti-war protesters, immigrants, AmeriCorps, and people with autism. And I've spent way too much time on Facebook seeing people (or bots, who the f knows) celebrate.

TieDyeDude It is a dark pit I can usually avoid, but lack of health and sleep weakened my defenses. My symptoms are easing, and my exam is tomorrow, so I'm hoping for a better week. Our book club is also tomorrow. We have vacation in June to look forward to. I'm also absorbing all the DC movie news and Star Wars Celebration announcements. To the future! 2w

TieDyeDude Lastly, fuck that sentient tanning hide and his lies.

How Not to Fit In: An Unapologetic Approach to Navigating Autism and ADHD | Jess Joy, Charlotte Mia

so-so

This is a very accessible book for people learning about ADHD and autism. It's casual, there's a lot of Internet speak, anecdotes, and it's very supportive.

It's a validating read if you are struggling with a diagnosis or starting to see you might be neurodivergent.

That's the extent of it. There's nothing new, or actionable. It was affirming.

Sincerely, Your Autistic Child: What People on the Autism Spectrum Wish Their Parents Knew About Growing Up, Acceptance, and Identity | Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network

12 years ago today I became a Mummy. My beautiful boy has complex special needs and my world has become a whole lot smaller over the last decade. It‘s one of the reasons books are so important to me, they aren‘t just my escape from everyday life, they are my chance to go other places and have other adventures. Books keep me sane!

Temple Grandin | Ruby Cardona

This book does a great job with its illustrations. It provides an easy journey for children to learn about Temple's life.
The way that the text is spread out makes it easy for children to read. This would be great for any grade level as a read aloud. This would be a great book to do a flip chart activity with.
