I've been thinking about the whole 'don't make Autism your whole personality thing', and quite frankly, f*ck people who say that, because it was the one part of my identity which was always actively denied me, so I will always embrace it and Autistic culture where I can and where it is safe to do so

From someone who is actually autistic, these are not true! Yet, we still hear the myths!

Dr: does your head hurt most of the time?
Autistic person: [thinks: well it hurts 3 days out of 7 every week which is clearly not normal, but since it's only 3/7 it's technically not "most of the time"] no :)
Dr: well, then it's probably nothing!
Autistic person: okay :) [dies from brain tumor]

Omg so this
I can tell a patient is autistic because you ask what their pain is from 1-10 while they're in excruciating pain from kidney stones and they're like "this is entirely subjective, how would I even know what a 10 feels like if I've never experienced it?" and every neurotypical person just tells you 11

Autistic people have always been here.
You institutionalized us. Imprisoned us. Assaulted us. Lobotomized us. Killed us. Left us for dead. Abandoned us.
We never left.
We aren’t going anywhere.

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

South Florida schools, once champions in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion, are now reviewing their programs and curricula to ensure they don’t face backlash from the Trump administration, which has taken aim at what it sees as “wokeness” in education.
South Florida schools say they comply with Trump DEI restrictions
Some South Florida school officials insist they aren’t engaging in areas such as “race-based preferences” for school admissions and services.

I despise the term "autism mom." you are not a mom of the world's autism. you are a mom with an autistic child. or you are an autistic mom with an autistic child.

What is it about watching a 4-year-old tell a 78-year-old with the maturity of a 2-year-old to "shut up and go away" that is SO deeply satisfying?

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

Just because you find that life's not fair, it
Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it

I don't think my mental health can deal with my current job situation. But finding a job is so difficult and now with all the disability stuff it seems scarier. I did submit an application for a job I think I'd like. And I can't Xanax my way through my current situation because it makes me tired
