No such thing as good guys in politics. I’m just hoping he finds his humanity again now that he doesn’t have control over other people’s lives anymore 🤷🏻♀️

When you’re disabled you often have to make hard choices and abandon your dreams. But it’s ok! I am still able to make new ones that better align with my values.

It took a long time to realize that it wasn’t my “weakness” that made me quit, it was the toxicity of the environment. That industry was not healthy for me. I had to choose my wellbeing over my dream job.

It’s really affected my mental health and it’s something I bring up in therapy a lot. I always feel like a failure for not following my dreams, not pushing myself harder to reach those goals I had. But every day at work was just shit talking and judging.

Except autism isn’t developed after birth. And to suggest that autism is the result of trauma or bad parenting is just as bad as claiming it’s caused by vaccines. Autism is genetic & adults notice the traits usually after socializing is introduced. So daycare age or older. It’s not rocket science.

I work in a very corporate office btw so this is very scary but it’s important to me because I can’t claim to be an advocate and then not advocate for myself you know? I feel like… that’s the first step to advocating for others.

Also it completely dismisses the fact that it’s so dynamic for us. How can we judge who is “more autistic”? One autistic person who can do well at school but not know how to tie their shoes? Or Another autistic person who might be “normal” at home but have regular meltdowns in restaurants?
