The #Spectrum10K announcement this week and the #StopSpectrum10K discourse by the #ActuallyAutistic Twitter community has worried many in the #autism community. Let's take a look at these Hash Tag graphs to get a handle on the number of tweets that have reacted to this.

Our final post. We hope it serves as an early historical record on #Spectrum10K. Hopefully it also demonstrates to academics and professionals that there are alternative means besides laboratories and focus groups - Empowering the #ActuallyAutistic in Participatory Democracy.
The #StopSpectrum10K tag has continued to decline in use this week perhaps exhausting opinion. @Spectrum10 are not engaging on Twitter and many of their Ambassadors have become largely silent on the issue. @Autistica admit they get didn't get it right in supporting the study.
Many #ActuallyAutistic and their supporters have signed a joined statement led by @BoycottSpect10k:

Meanwhile the #StopSpectrum10K tag on Twitter seems to have reached new peaks. September 1st appears to be the highest use of the tag. This may indicate the discourse on #Spectrum10K is moving into protest.

Challenging hierarchies of experience in trying to make possible truly inclusive involvement is complex as well as demanding, crucial as well as critical to getting and giving the whole picture and ensuring equality.
