Ended up changing my goal back to 1000 instead of 900 because I've had to spend a lot this month on food and medical stuff and haven't actually been able to recoup those savings.

I want to live in a world where even if there's a "cause" of autism found, the answer would be "so?" But we don't live in that world, and that includes people on all parts of the political spectrum.

Seeing this administration push tens of millions of dollars into autism research while the folks providing job and skills training or direct care are barely paid minimum wage is infuriating. What if instead of trying to "cure" autism, we just supported autistic people?

I've spent the last decade writing about autism and saying politicians should stop talking about vaccines. When my book came out, it felt like politics was moving there. But I feel like my life's work has been completely erased by RFK Jr., Trump and Bill Cassidy. I feel completely disoriented.

This is a desperate ask to survive right now.

Please help?

If a few folks could give 1-4k, we could be in position to actually survive, get a shop up, and start helping others out again.

We jeed dental & medical care, & a car - bare minimum.

The way folks will intentionally post satire indistinguishable from "extreme views" as bait to draw in comments from people who don't actually know them and their intent and mock them for "not understanding".

It's honestly just a way to justify being a jerk to people who aren't in on the joke.

If you see a video being shared here about a woman calling 911 on a Black neighbor in her apartment complex and he turns out to be Boston’s new police chief, it’s a fake.

(When the “TV news anchor” announced the police chief’s apartment number on the air, I had my doubts, which research confirmed.)

And on another subject I wish the facebook pages for businesses did not require a login to the entire timeline if at all. Deleting my account was necessary but I do wish I could view the pages of some local places to see their news items and things. Things they don't post elsewhere.

Man I was so close to possibly having an audiologist who knows ASL .... only to find out that she's not in my network for insurance. Lovely. WHY!? Another audiologist at the same practice is in network so why not? (I suspect the issues may be about how new this audiologist is to the practice).

A good counter point to victim blaming rhetoric is noting that the best cyclists in the world get hit by drivers. It's not about skill; it's about lack of infrastructure and dangerous drivers (yes, even in the Netherlands). This happened in broad daylight too.

Today, the White House said it would get rid of most of the Department of Education (ED). Everyone has the right to a good education — and we need to protect that right. Tell your Congresspeople we will not let this attack on disability rights continue! autisticadvocacy.org/2025/11/what...

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

No mention of the benefits of e-bikes. No distinction between e-bikes and e-motos. But we do have the police telling people to film kids on bikes and sendthem videos.
