I actually don’t mind Lauren (especially in comparison to the other morons on Instagram) but there is no specific rule.

Many autistic people prefer to be called autistic as opposed to with autism or on the spectrum, for the reason that is autism is part of their being.
Autism isn’t something they carry around (eg “with” autism” and autistic people generally despise the whole “on the spectrum” thing because autism spectrum disorder implies that you are disordered for simply being neurodivergent.

i dont think Lauren has done anything wrong necessarily but the poster is also correct in that most autistic folk prefer to be referred to as just that. Of course this varies with individuals but speaking as a member of the autistic community, I think you’ll find many of us feel the same.
And that's fine if individuals wish to refer to themselves as autistic or to not use correct terminology as everyone has different preferences. However, it is still best practice to stick to person-first language and use correct diagnostic terminology for all disabilities until personal preferences are determined.

Why would Brooke Hogan have a paid partnership with her clothing label, ‘Le.mon’ when she owns the business? Is that a normal thing to do?
I know the UK influencers have to declare if they're advertising their own brand. Is it maybe something like that - to make the relationship between influencer and company clear?

Anna Rose 🤦‍♀️

Does she think she has cracked some top secret code?! This is known knowledge?! She is honestly the biggest deadshit out.

Charge those Crystal's darl.
She is the world's biggest f&&&wit. I ADORE the fact that she thinks she is just a GENIUS. OMG YOU HAVE CRACKED IT. You have 'gamed the government'. Umn no you imbicile. Literally half the country knows that you can get an exemption after COVID, we just choose to be responsible, get vaccinated to protect the community and you know, take all the necessary precautions to keep us, our loved ones and the broader world as safe as we can. It is not some genius move to get a virus, get better, get an exemption and go overseas. WHAT? I honestly couldn't give a tit about most of these people but she is a truly heinous individual with the most incredible delusions of grandeur.

And as for the stupidity around the sharks. Umm no, you can't compare your chances of being in a car crash with getting 'bitten' by a shark. IF YOU ARE IN A KNOWN SHARK FEEDING AREA. That aint 'living your life with fear', that is just being sensible. Like a normal human being. Put on a mask in a global pandemic, put on a helmet when cycling, a seatbelt in the car and probably avoid swimming in an area where a great white has been seen that day.

Massive tosser.

This woman is unhinged and wanting to charge $700 per person to attend her class. These life coaches are modern day con artists. 😑

I’m also not sure why she always looks so orange.

If the vast majority of the autistic community want the terminology changed I’d hardly call it “correct.”

As I mentioned, I actually don’t think LDB was doing anything particularly wrong, but the other poster was simply echoing the sentiment of the autistic community and didn’t need to be chastised for doing so.

there’s a great Facebook group called autism inclusivity, run by autistic adults that go into much better detail than I can right now if it’s something you’d like more understanding on.

Is anyone else sick of RDOM using #noreid ? It’s getting very old and tired. Especially when it’s clear that that child has never been told “no” in his life and is completely overindulged.
Also, who honestly lets their pre-teen child have a say in property purchases? 🙄
It’s such a pisstake when you can clearly see that he is one the most spoiled, pretentious little brats getting round

That does seem strange. Maybe she has silent investors/co-owners? It wouldn't surprise me, it would be very expensive to start up a label like she has. They're designing & manufacturing everything in Australia
Yeah, I didn’t think about investors or co-owners. I didn’t know her clothes would be made here. I don’t really follow her.

I appreciate your point of view. I come from a nursing/paramedic/social work background where person-first language is taught, i'm sorry that it doesn't suit you or your community's wishes despite its intention to be inclusive and respectful.

I know influencers in Australia, have to show when they get gifted something, but I don’t know the rules for when a product is their own brand with paid partnerships, etc.

Longtime lurker, first time poster.
Just gotta say, Sophie Guidolin just posted a tribute to her elder kids, and my god, she is a different person. Yet, swears she just wasn’t into herself with lip fillers…
Wait! Is that Sophie!!!???

LD is actually correct.


She’s wrong. On the spectrum is loose. It’s autistic , someone with autism, or on the autism spectrum. There may be some other preferences autistic people prefer but as she is neurotypical saying “ on the spectrum” is offensive.

She’s too pretentious to even researching this before using such a phrase

thanks and likewise, I can totally appreciate where you’re coming from.
Anyway, enough of this out of me, I’d rather not waffle on any more about this and instead use my time in a more productive way, like laughing at Sophie cachia inevitably making a fool of herself again tonight on national tv

Ok, lots of resources have been given. Can we move this debate along so the thread isn’t everyone arguing internally.

Olivia Molly Rodgers looked gorge. Such poor taste by Tully to post the ceremony or the bride. I’m surprised a friend would do that. Especially one in social media who knows how important the ultimate reveal is. The second dress is stunning and she looks amazing. I’m apparently 100 and a huge prude now tho as it is very sexy for a family party.

Not to WK, but Lauren has used to correct terminology. When referring to people with disabilities (whether physical or intellectual) it is person first language. So not autistic adults, but adults with autism. Spectrum refers to the diagnostic name - Autism Spectrum Disorder. It is very common terminology used these days.

That’s wrong also. Some people prefer autistic, some prefer person with autism. It’s usually allistic people who say that sort of thing.

I actually don’t mind Lauren (especially in comparison to the other morons on Instagram) but there is no specific rule.

Many autistic people prefer to be called autistic as opposed to with autism or on the spectrum, for the reason that is autism is part of their being.
Autism isn’t something they carry around (eg “with” autism” and autistic people generally despise the whole “on the spectrum” thing because autism spectrum disorder implies that you are disordered for simply being neurodivergent.

Thank you for putting it so elonquently. My point is the absolute ignorance by allistic people and not actually trying to be inclusive.
My quarrel was just with her using that term so loosely as if she was cool… like it was nothing to her but not realising the social implications it has for a large community out there.

People need to say autistic. It’s not a bad word
 
Why don't people like LD? I like her generally 🙈 she seems to actually love her children and not use them just for content and this aside I find her rather inoffensive. I know she could research before posting if she isn't 100% sure but sometimes we think we know something until we're corrected and that's how we do better next time. Aside from this, why don't people like her?

I don’t follow. She’s not my cup of tea but I don’t find she’s as in your face or offensive as others. She does her thing and stays in her lane. She also used to be a political journalist so it makes sense that she has a lot of opinions and comments on things. One thing that annoyed me was that she said she had a great experience working as a female journalist in Parliament House and didn’t witness misogyny, until all the sexual abuse came to light and then she was telling a story of being pushed by a male reporter or something similar. It’s ok to say she felt she had to lie previously but she never addressed the contradiction and there wasn’t too long of a time lapse between comments.

She got a lot of tit for the school drop off outfit comment too but really I think that was a lot of women projecting their own insecurities onto her.

Sorry - that was so poorly written 😂🤯

I agree with you entirely. I think she’s probably had a couple of slips of the tongue or ruffled some feathers with a few tongue in check posts but I don’t mind her.
She doesn’t exploit her kids, her content isn’t saturated with ads and she’s pretty articulate.

granted, I didn’t know who she was a couple of years ago, so maybe there’s more to it that happened before I came across her, but she’s one of the less irritating in my opinion

She also did this attention seeking pic that went viral during the bushfires - but agreed like above one of the least problematic
