Thread from the birdsite about appropriation of #communication symbols from the #ActuallyAutistic community to turn public health decisions about the #covid19 #pandemic into a matter of personal choice 😣
@melunaka That’s good to know, and I’ll definitely consider using #autistic (until such time as it becomes problematic here anyway!) 😊
I probably wouldn’t use #autism though, because it veers towards medical-model language for me
I talked about this towards the end of this blog post I wrote in April: https://transponderings.blog/2022/04/28/are-you-aprilness-aware/

@transponderings we can use #autistic here, because the hashtag hasn’t been polluted by non-autistic, I believe (I tend to use #autism when sharing resources here personally)
