There’s a side to so-called ‘high functioning’ #autism that you don’t see. You don’t see it, because our high functioning brains give us the ability to hide it from you. #autistic 1/


Oh @Zoom Really don’t like what you’ve done to the ‘leave meeting’ button - it’s *much* harder to identify for visually impaired people. #Access

On 24th March 2004, the much-loved Mark and Lard show on BBC Radio 1 came to an end. Now, 20 years later, Mark Radcliffe and Mark Riley are joining forces once again, and of course, we just had to be part of it. Catch the livestream on 24th March: livetoyourlivingroom.com/events/carry-o…

Have remembered the reason I don’t like baking is because it makes my back hurt. If only I had remembered before I started baking… #ChronicPain

Get in the habit of bringing up accessibility at meetings, in stand-ups, and in demos. Bring up things you've done to address accessibility. Likewise, don't be afraid to ask, "Have we tested this on a keyboard?" or "What's the experience like on a screen reader?"


Loving the lecture on Autistic Safety by @SheffieldLuke ❤️ #SouthYorkshireAutismFestival So validating! Best quote: “It’s still not the norm to take your cat to work with you” 😂 #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD
