How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

Shame the #bbc won't report this, isn't it.

ASAN Condemns Dangerous Disinformation at ACIP Meeting - Autistic Self Advocacy Network For the past two days, the Advisory Council on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met to discuss various topics related to vaccination. At this meeting, ACIP members continued to spread false information a...

"Vaccines do not cause autism. Vaccines let autistic children live long enough to become autistic adults. Autism is not a tragedy to be prevented; it is a way of being deserving of support and respect." From @autisticadvocacy.org:

Absolutely horrific. Anyone who supports conversion therapy is bell end.

This is getting stupid now.

We're at the point where Labour acknowledge both the damage caused by Brexit AND that rejoining the Customs Union (more accurately, joining A Customs Union) would boost growth.

And yet they still reinforce their red lines.

Why we need research about autism and ageing - Cos Michael, 2016

"We know that autistic people have sensory differences, but we know nothing about how these are influenced by ageing. Why not? Autistics often live with high stress & anxiety—which can intensify some mental & physical health conditions." @cosmichael.bsky.social:

I can’t remember her face
But she lived in the red castle
one of three set tall
her walls of andesite shining
within glowing cloud & rain
where the red dragons flow”

Trying to have a quiet ‘in my head’ day so I can cope with continuing lack of any support

Not working as well as expected as fired up by positive possibility’s, new ideas & also anger at the disrespect stigma and harm ‘official systems’ & those who run them inflict on us

#AuDHD #Creative #Trauma

In the midst of all the noise and prejudice about "overdiagnosis", the way it's presented is really dangerous. It's not academic research; the main motivations are political.

Oh ffs

Can’t they leave us alone

We need change to proper support & needs met

MHS already let #neurodivergent people down badly I feel

But no let’s traumatise #AuDHD people further by not believing, respecting & continuing 2 deny appropriate support

Speaker on Trauma at #AFBuzzwords25 Tuesday - hard journey and arrived for second half - doodled while listening for concentration - it was all very good.

‘We need to look after each other’

#Trauma #AutisticTrauma #BeingBelieved

To build systems where neurodivergent people don’t get hurt, we must first recognise our potential to harm. To create safe l spaces where people thrive, we need to understand what thriving means. #AFBuzzwords25 sold out event was a very unique experience @annafreudcharity.bsky.social

Oh, look. A load of coverage about a new government inquiry into "overdiagnosis" that completely blurs autism & mental illness, and ends up leaning into all those tropes about people making it all up.

A woman wearing a medical face mask sits on public transport, looking out the window. Other passengers in the background are also wearing masks. A headline on the image says: “Brits told to ‘wear a mask’ as flu spreads across country.” The source shown below is express.co.uk.

UK: "Brits told to 'wear a mask' as flu spreads across country"

Flu positive rate rose to 11.6% weekending Nov 25 (from 10.7%). Health chiefs said the highest positivity was in children aged 5–14.

“We haven’t seen a virus like this for a while… these dynamics are unusual,” said Prof Nicola Lewis.

AI Uncovers Evidence of Life in 3.3-Billion-Year-Old Rocks A machine-learning-enhanced approach to chemical analysis is drastically expanding the chemical record of life on Earth, and it could help us find evidence of life on other planets too.

ICYMI: Our team used machine learning, trained on organic chemical data, to identify evidence for life in 3.3-billion-year-old rocks!

Lol @geologyjohnson.bsky.social

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok.

Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work.

Resistance is exhausting.

Never forget that rest is resistance.

Survival is resistance.

You’re not alone.

There’s more of us than there are of them.

Autistic individuals are more prosocial towards strangers and people they barely know While most people become less generous towards strangers, autistic adults maintain high levels of prosocial behavior regardless of social distance. New research confirms this generosity is intentional...

Today in research FTW: "Autistic participants were more generous towards strangers & people they barely knew than non-autistic individuals." So basically autistic people are kind regardless of whether or not they know the person; non-autistics need social vetting.

Schools that are serious about supporting (un/diagnosed) autistic YP thru KS2-3 transition will find @autisticgirlsnet.bsky.social’s suggestions helpful:

“Our survey found that the period most autistic YP fell into crisis after transition to secondary school was by the February half term of Y7,

Honestly I'm glad the Lords appears to be the last bastion protecting people from what will rapidly become legalised eugenics aimed against the disabled & poor.

Disabled people are still getting non consensual DNRs put on them. You want assisted suicide? Fix up the protections, first.

"Britain has healthcare" feels like a myth when I've spent 15 years struggling to survive society as an Autistic person but still not seen a real "professional" who understands and helps me
