"10% of the planet's population may become infected over the course of the next 90 days."
No matter where you stand on COVID policies, this is horrible news for everyone.
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see [email protected] or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.
One of the reasons the phrase "with autism" irks me so much, on just a very basic level, is that
It.
Doesn't.
Make.
Sense.
It's how our brain exists/developed. Not separate.
If autistic people are seen as being literal, then why make the standard term not make concrete sense?

Spectrum Gaming has worked with clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher, social worker Kirsteen Wilshere and autistic advocate (and former teacher) Nanny Aut, along with 350 or so @actuallyautistic autistic young people (and many others) to produce this guide to autism and trauma.
This 'Neurodiversity Affirming Guide for parents + professionals' should provide invaluable insight into #ActuallyAutistic experiences and their intersection with trauma.
