We hadn't realised that the supposed #DisabilityPrideMonth flag doesn't include a colour for learning #disability and cognitive impairment. That needs to change - our own flag has to be #inclusive of all of us! #LearningDisabled

I was never taught math and only managed to learn very basic addition and multiplication basically on my own.
The cult kept me out of school entirely, and I also have dyscalculia which can make even simple small numbers tricky for my brain.
Despite all that, I Really like numbers, patterns, math when I can figure it out, and I want to learn more! 🧠

A shocking and upsetting article from John Harris, detailing some of the abuse and #neglect suffered by #autistic and #LearningDisabled children in institutions in the #UK. On Twitter, John says it "Might be the most important thing I've ever written," and I concur. It's vital this #abuse is exposed, and that those responsible face justice.

RT @missingsnowman: We will forever regret leaving him after he was excubated only for them to intubate him a second time. No reliable explanation. No root cause. They do not know #LearningDisabled #Stridor #Dystonia, chin down positioning, #Dysautonomia and acute pain response. #Inquest

Some more details in case people are interested.
I was a big contributor to #OpenStreetMap for a while. Long story there...
Umm, I worked at #NASA for a while, and #NIH for much longer, specifically on NCBI, where they run #pubmed
I love animals. I own two #cats , I used to own #rats and grew up with a 135lbs (60kg) #gsd
I'm #ADHD and #learningdisabled I'm the first legally recognized person in the US labeled LD/gifted, or now known as #TwiceExceptional (a label I don't like)

@adhd @actuallyautistic @ArtBear @actuallyautistic I specifically reject D for Disorder. No. Wrong. Difference, maybe. It’s why I prefer #autistic and #autism. Not sure what the best alternate for this is though. I have seen some use #adh. But “deficit? Compared to who? “#normal”people? Eww. Why do we keep having to relearn these lessons? I think it’s the #allistics who’re #learningdisabled.

A participation project I’m working on called Festival of Us with Trestle Theatre. A festival to celebrate the learning disabled in St Albans district. The llama I build as the mascot and can be group coloured in and the sunflower has wish petals, written with peoples hopes and dreams. Most of the petals contain wildflower seeds, so they can be planted next spring and flourish. #community #art #participation #theatre #learningdisabled #StAlbans #trestletheatre
