Does anyone have a link to good ethical guidance to including public social media posts as evidence of existing problems in a system or other ways you could use them to make an argument? Citation, of course, but are there permissions issues and other things to keep in mind when pointing to something posted on public social media platforms, fora, email lists?

@ml @academicchatter there have definitely been instances of affected communities feeling violated from it; we're not aware of guidance offhand

Many autistic people struggle with “multiple choice” and “select the right answer” exam questions. A key reason for this is that the options available can feel - to our brains - like such vague simplifications or awkwardly worded answers that they all feel somewhat incorrect. 1/2

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic to anyone who's in a place in life where they still have to do this, we recommend also trying to come up with your best guess about the level at which the test's author understands the topic and the kind of answer they're looking for based on that understanding.

a wrong answer at the right level of abstraction is often the "right" answer even when it's factually incorrect

it's so frustrating ><

@trestrantham @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic yeah we had trouble up until we figured that out, so we thought we'd share the tip, you know?

I'm autistic, so I guess it's natural that I will never, ever be able to understand exactly when is the correct time to add my point to a group conversation.

Watching the conversation move onto a totally different topic, while a really good point is left unsaid, is a very specific autistic sadness.

@AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic when it's an in-person conversation this is often driven by eye contact

unfortunately that creates, well, a very obvious problem for autistic people. we still found it useful to know though.

@ahrimans_erbe @AutisticAdam @actuallyautistic we think it's a fair amount of both, but it depends. when there's agreement in play it isn't usually everyone agreeing, at least in conversations we've been part of (so there's some bias there), it's usually the current speaker and whoever's next. as you say though, overlapping speech plays a huge role too.
