And this one is a free course “to support primary care providers in delivering high-quality care to autistic and neurodivergent patients across the lifespan. Many providers have reported feeling ill-prepared to care for children, youth, and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) due to a lack of training and resources.

UBC CPD and the UBC Centre for Interdisciplinary Research and Collaboration in Autism (CIRCA) have partnered to create this practical and engaging online course, featuring videos, activities, and real-world tools tailored to the primary care setting.“

I know, it’s an American resource but I am sure you can find something useful in it. I haven’t read everything, but the language is mostly updated! And they are open to receive feedback.

“Adult Autism Health Resources (AAHR) Health Care Toolkit

Guiding caregivers and autistic adults through health care resources and information across the lifespan.

There are many critical junctures in the lifespan of an autistic adult. We’ve assembled information and resources about how to find and advocate for good care.“ (From Harvard Medical School)

CPAP users any teeth issues? I see that online that it is possible and my teeth begin to be more sensitive. Maybe just a coincidence I know!

And I am going of course to take an appointment to have my teeth checked!

(I have a nasal mask)

Here we are! 🤦🏻♀️

Enjoy (sarcasm) this “awareness“ image probably created by AI due to the description of the account.

I don’t know if you are aware of this Autistic Burnout Course Scholarship?

**Deadline March 31, tomorrow!**

From the newsletter:

“Members of this community, many of whom are themselves in burnout, with overwhelmed nervous systems and stretched resources, chose to pay forward their access so someone else could attend. Even this week, people have reached out wanting to purchase the course at full cost or asking if they can donate directly. Many of you are also paying what you can — $250, $100, $50, $20 — and that, too, is what makes an interconnected campaign like this possible“

@Susan60 Why they don’t want to use instead, for example, autism + intellectual disability is beyond my comprehension.

When I said "There's no such thing as severe Autism" most people
missed the point

#ActuallyAutistic friends @autistics #AuDHD what is/are your current specific interest/s - passion/s?

For me it’s miniatures houses thanks to, or because 😆of the TV show Best of Miniatures from my country 🇨🇦, I’m currently watching season 3.

I take this opportunity to mention that having specific interest/s is not mandatory for being autistic, as well as we can have more than 1 of course. And/or regularly switch from one to the other due to monotropism and/or ADHD. I feel that need to mention it, because for me this stereotype was an issue to identify as an autist not having only one.

If you are not familiar with monotropism:

@hellomiakoda It’s a shame that their Mastodon account seems inactive because I’m so curious to know where I was about to ask where the definition comes from…

@hosford42

@hellomiakoda Yep, I’m autistic, and I can’t get a new brain. 🤷🏼♀️

@hellomiakoda Do you know this perfect satire text from the Daily Tism? 😆

“Adult man still lives with his autism“

@SiteRelEnby @epiceneVivant @Tattie

An amazing free online book by ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) 😍 “ASAN is a nonprofit organization run by and for autistic people. […] Nothing About Us, Without Us!“

“ The book is called Welcome to the Autistic Community.

We wrote this book for autistic people who want to learn what being autistic means. We hope it will help you understand autism better, and answer some questions you have about autism. We also want non-autistic people to read the book. It can show you how to make life better for autistic people.“

@thibaultmol Places offering only phone calls for appointments… (I’m not deaf or having an hearing impairment).

@inthehands Genuine question from my pragmatic autistic point of view: and how that will change anything to give them the black eye?

Saying that, I’m going to look online for a way to contact the author of the video and to mention him the existence of Peertube that he has probably no idea about.

@cockneylaurie

@dotjayne And for some of those with invisible disabilities like me who are struggling with adding alt text, the #AltText4Me is amazing. 😊

J’ajoute un commentaire car plus assez de caractères.

J’ai ajouté le alt text de @GreenSkyOverMe dans la deuxième image et j’ai indiqué que pour la première image par manque de place il était dans les commentaires.

I'm adding a comment because there aren't enough characters.

I added the alt text provided by GreenSkyOverMe@ohai.social to the second image and indicated that it was in the comments for the first image due to a lack of space. Thank you so much @GreenSkyOverMe for your help. ❤️

@Elizabeth C’rst classique pour beaucoup d’entre nous, si ce n’est pas tout les neurodivergents? En ce qui me concerne je suis hyper empathique. Il y a aussi composantes de la communication. J’ai une image à ce sujet sur mon IPad que je partagerai plus tard.

Je partagerai aussi avec toi un livre intitulé Autisme et anxiété, j’ai fait un post la semaine dernière dessus, ça pourrait t’intéresser.

@Elizabeth Pour l’énergie que je dépense en communication que je mentionnais plus haut, voir les illustrations.

Ces deux images m’ont permis de prendre conscience de beaucoup de choses que j’ignorais totalement, et ça explique beaucoup de choses, auxquelles j’ajoute pour moi l’environnement sensoriel (les bruits, odeurs, etc.).

Tout ne s’applique pas à tout le monde, mais je me retrouve dans 90 % éléments.

(J’ai 0 énergie pour l’alt texte et la traduction alors si quelqu’un.e veut aider, c’est plus que bienvenue, je pourrai utiliser un outil en ligne pour la traduction vu que les images sont en anglais). 😊 #Alt4me

@Em0nM4stodon Is there something to do with our Mastodon account to avoid this? I’m guessing not?

I may have missed it but except from fellow autistic I saw nothing here about RFK yesterday speech.

I know that everyone is probably scared and overwhelmed but imagine how do WE feel? And don’t tell me that I’m not at risk because I don’t live in this country, same for autistic trans women in the UK. Can you imagine how scared they probably are?

You want to help? Learn about us by reading our books, posts, watching our videos, give us accommodations and stop telling us that we don’t look autistic to give only this example… Educate yourselves, ask questions, believe us.

BTW autism is not an illness.

End of the rant.

@hellomiakoda Oh I know it’s a reality for some of us 🫂.

What I meant by that I thought that it was the only way to be autistic.
