A snip, showing that the only thing they could 'prove' was that if a parent wanted a child to e.g. put a cup on a shelf at the end of 40 hrs of ABA, they could put the cup on the shelf (evidence = according to the parent paying for ABA...risk of bias anyone?).
ABA is gay conversion therapy is torture.
It can’t be fixed.
It must be resisted as surely as we resist any authoritarian acts.

Literally no one would allow autism on their own chart if it weren’t true.
This is gaslighting.
This is medical abuse, neglect.

Diagnosed but not believed: Autistic women and the medical gaze

🧵 It’s the first Shut The Fuck Up Friday (STFU-F) of the year and I don’t know who needs this reminder but you do not talk to police. You don’t even talk to them when you have a lawyer. Your lawyer will also tell you to STFU when they greet you. Do not be helpful. Do not offer truth that feels safe.

There’s a video I saw recently interviewing a guy at a Minnesota protest where the interviewer starts to ask “are you worried this could take us to a dark pla—“ and the guy explodes, “we’re already in the dark place! Look around! They’re murdering us! We’re already here!”

No statute of limitations on murder. Nor should there ever be on any war crime.
I used to not fully understand why they were still, in the 2000s, dragging suspected Nazi camp guards out of their homes and into court, but I sure as hell do now.
Murder. And not just the one who pulled the trigger.

Oh! this line: “He’s got all the feels, just waiting to be heard.”
Some of us are nonverbal and are never *going* to be heard.
This underscores just how different we are. A mother’s love and deep respect. And she misses the point altogether.
Allistics are like dolphins. And we’re people.

When autistics feel empathy, it generally doesn’t “look” like neurotypical empathy. Don’t expect autistics to “look” empathic.

What’s the Truth About Empathy and Autism?
Recent research shows autistics may empathize a bit differently than neurotypicals, but they still feel all the feels. A psychiatric nurse practitioner and mother reveals how.

the fact that you struggle on some days and not on others doesn't make you less disabled and less deserving of grace

Most autistic adults aren’t struggling because they “lack skills.”
We're struggling because we're taught to survive systems that never planned to support us.
That’s not a personal failure - it's a structural one.

Collaborative healing is almost not a thing in the US.
Allopaths not only have a “one disease, one cure” / “think horses not zebras” mentality, they are unable to dialogue on anything not in the Merck Manual.
They’re technicians, akin to a Jiffy Lube mechanic, with none of the people skills.

Did I go to med school? No. Do I know enough to be like “hey, research indicates GET is not only not effective but harmful, can we look into this together?”
You bet your ass I do.
But bring that up and it’s “oh, you think you know so much, you wanna wear my coat, huh? You want my student loans?”
