I’m an autistic person with #dyscalculia.
So, while I very much *feel* #SpoonTheory in my being, it all falls apart when trying to use it as a metaphor with others (or as an accommodation strategy for myself). I constantly miscount and lose them.
I’m a #Spoonie without spoons.

When speaking, or in meetings, I’m often asked by folks to explain spoon theory. I usually just turn to someone I trust and ask “Could you explain it?”

I mean, I’m a huge supporter of spoon theory as a metaphor to explain things to others and as an accomodation peoole can use themselves. It just all gets tangled and anxiety-inducing for me.
I love to laugh at that, though. You kind of gotta.

For those of us who have not lived the experience of being black in America, I recommend watching #DoTheRightThing (@SpikeLeeJoint) to better understand the protests.

Non-black people can never feel and experience what black people do. Yet, for those who have not lived it, #DoTheRightThing translates the weight and feeling of hundreds of years of history in a story told on one summer day.
I should say it was 31 years ago! Thanks @cjereneta for helping out.

Myth #12 #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth:" Schools & districts are officially not allowed to use the term "dyslexia" NOT TRUE! Letter from the U.S. Department of Education reminds all districts that there’s nothing in the law stopping them from using the term bit.ly/1R8dtBj 1/3
...in fact, the letter bit.ly/1R8dtBj from the U.S. Department of Education encourages states to remind their districts to use the term "#dyslexia" in IEPs, at IEP meetings & in evaluations used in determining eligibility for special education services. 2/3
You can find more info on using the term "#dyslexia" on the @UnderstoodOrg website here u.org/2q8Ikcl and FAQs are answered here u.org/2Mb1XJt. By the way, the letter also encourages schools & districts to use terms #dysgraphia and #dyscalculia!
