Just a reminder that Autism Speaks does NOT represent the autistic community. Don't give them your money or your support.
Autism Speaks says they've listened to feedback & have pivoted to focus on healthcare, employment, & housing. OK!
…then they claim True Autistic Representation by trotting out #ProfoundAutism campaigner, ABA apologist, & anti- #neurodiversity mom Eileen Lamb. Sigh.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭
It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.
