Just applied for an awesome opportunity with #tryazon for a ##IndoorGardyn. Hope I'm chosen! This looks cool!
"Job creep" is a serious problem in education. Constant things are added while very rarely anything taken off of an educator's plate. #stopthejobcreep #EnoughIsEnough #whycantteachersjustteach
Definitely...but now in a much safer & suitable environment with understanding people. Makes a world of difference. #notoverloaded #appreciated #freetobeme #reasonableexpectations
#actuallyautistic no one would have ever known I was autistic, because I taught myself to disguise all my traits until my mental health imploded 🤷🏻♀️ is this you?
This. This is what keeps me up at night and makes me question everything everyone says in this state (which I guess is a good thing if you're a reporter). @JohnArchibald masterfully captured it all in these words. al.com/news/2023/01/a…
Can we all acknowledge just how much executive functioning it takes to choose, make, and eat food? It's a lot.
There is no such thing as ‘exposure therapy’ for ‘helping’ autistic kids to ‘get over’ things which distress them, like intolerable sensory experiences. It may reduce the visible behaviour, but the child internalises it, learns to mask, and breaks down later on.
Unmasking is just trying to figure out who you were and who you wanted to be before you curated yourself to appease everyone around you.
I can show as calm, but on the inside I'm boiling with anxiety over the smallest of things. #AutismAwareness
Just because an autist looks calm on the outside, that’s not to say they are calm on the inside. Many of us emote succinctly and may appear at ease whilst battling over/under-stimulation, sensory overload, anxiety, GI pain and more. If we say we are struggling, please believe us.
Autistic burnout is incredibly difficult to endure & recover from. #AutismAwareness #AutismAcceptance #autismburnout
Autistic burnout is real. It can affect not just mental health but physical health too. I’ve experienced it myself and I’ve seen it happen to someone recently. The least you can do is be compassionate and don’t strain us. Give us a break when we need it. #autism #ActuallyAutistic
I truly wish school librarians were given the respect they deserve by allowing them to do their jobs without being asked to wear 100+ other hats. Students deserve that. #valuereading #schoollibraries #Libraries #schoollibrarian
I couldn't stress this enough when I was teaching, and I still stand behind this. It's this simple. No need for all of the fancy, expensive programs, etc. Make reading truly a priority. #readingforpleasure #read #literacy #libraries #readingchoice
Recording the audiobook for The Joy of Reading was a fascinating process and I’m glad the book is available in more formats. Check out this free sample! #readingjoy
LISTEN to a preview of The Joy of Reading Audiobook! Narrated by @donalynbooks 🎧📚 🧡 #ReadingJoy hubs.la/Q019qc050
I just watched a TikTok where someone asks “what do you do for a living?” And the guy responds, “my best. I do my best.” I feel so seen.
I’m going to be 41 on Tuesday and have decided that part of being 41 I am going to use my voice as an autistic adult more and stop filtering myself so much 💜 So here’s my first Twitter attempt at using my voice as an autistic self advocate 💜
My author copies of The Joy of Reading arrived today. I wish that @ProfessorNana was here to see it, but I know she would be proud. It’s not ours anymore. Readers will have it soon! #readingjoy
