Hannah got sick with Covid in March of 2020 and never recovered. Helping to pioneer the patient-led “Long Covid” movement, she’s now been diagnosed with ME/CFS and a TBI.
Writer with multiple neurodivergent dx, also trans/nonbinary, queer, and multiply disabled in other ways. Talking about the intersections of these realities and how they all connect and crash.
His pinned "You might be Autistic, if…" thread is what led to my self-diagnosis (not gonna debate that with anyone, ever), and eventual clinical Autism diagnosis.
"Neurotypicality Research Institute" (formerly "Save The Neurotypicals!") is a satirical account, whose Autistic author uses to flip ableist language about us and turn it on the Neurotypicals. It's witty to hilarious.
Dr. Chloe is an Autistic researcher of neurodivergence in the UK. Her feed is often hard science. I can't do it justice—check her out, see if it's your thing!
Another intersectional perspective. She is where I first learned about how much Autism and ADHD increases our chances of experiencing violence from police. Our facial expressions are apparently what they're taught as suspicious?
Wendy is the former CISO of Duo, now Head of Advisory CISOs at CISCO. Wendy is ND, open about it, an international speaker, and infosec superhero. She’s an excellent example of ND folks in leadership.
Helen is the former CISO of Ohio State, another infosec superhero, and openly ND. Mostly infosec topics, but occasional ND activism. Another example of an ND person in leadership.
You may have seen Marina Amaral's books. She is kinda famous for two books she co-wrote with historian Dan Jones, where she painstakingly colorized black and white photos, and he wrote the back story of the photos. Lots of photos, but also some Autistic and ND activism.
“I think I’m pretty great and have interesting thoughts and infodumps. More seriously, I am a late diagnosed AuDHDer [autistic and ADHD] who is trained as an ADHD coach. I Tweet a lot about my experiences and realizations. It’s not an option in the neurotypes, but I’m also dyspraxic. Sometimes I talk about being a dyspraxic aerialist and how I do movement things I like while being clinically uncoordinated.”
YouTube channel, where he makes engaging videos about his life as an Autistic person, professional and father. His videos have humor and heart, and make people feel less alone.
They often discuss their lived experience with Bipolar Disorder, the harm of the mental health industrial complex, and the intersections of race and disability/mental illness.
They are a great writer writing about life at the intersections of different neurodivergences. They are very funny sometimes, but also seem to be very kind and generous.
“I'm neurodivergent (diagnosed with cPTSD a year ago, on top of an existing diagnosis of severe depression). And also I've been spending a lot of time and effort lately thinking about the most efficient ways to accomplish clear and complete communication, including starting my own social media site dedicated to exploring and promoting that idea not just by cultural norms on my server, but by developing tech to help ‘nudge’ people towards generally good behavior with each other.”
