I want my autistic taxes back after this quote. They don’t deserve my autistic money since I’m worthless to them.

Please don’t forget to mention @warren.senate.gov that autistic kids become autistic adults - we don’t just suddenly grow out of it.

If my autistic contributions are worthless and I’m a waste of space, then I want all those taxes my husband and I paid (because I’m married, gasp! And I make 6 figures!) refunded. 🙄 I def called all my congressmen this morning (all republicans though).

Even though as an autistic person I absolutely LOATHE calling, I left messages for Thomas Massie, Mitch McConnell, and Rand Paul this morning. Take that, RFK Jr - I worked within your dumb system to voice my dissent and I went to the bathroom all on my own today 🙄🙄🙄

Or, here’s a thought, those of us without severe comorbidities (or who are women) are finally getting diagnosed.

I guess my autistic taxes mean nothing. Looks like we disabled people will be headed to the concentration camps first, just like in WW2.

I’m also autistic and had to learn how to analyze and mimic other people’s habits, tics, social skills, faces etc over time just to survive so I identified with Nix and the other AIs just as much as the humans. Well done! I’ll be promoting this book to my pro connections as well as my friends

I finished it today and WOW. I’m gathering my thoughts and will say more later, but this book was made for me. I’m a product designer who also works on the side training AI models so this book hit me in so many ways. Loved the hex color inclusions and totally looked them all up to add to the feel

Enjoy this show! I discovered it a few months ago and ended up watching it through 3 times, one straight after the other, because it was so good!

I shouldn’t have to adjust the radio or even the heat in my cabin with a touch screen while driving! Physical buttons 4 life, y’all. Just because tech is new and cutting edge does NOT make it the best option for user flow (I’m also looking at you, useless AI for market buzz)
