You know what pisses me off most about the autism disinformation? It demonises every mother of an autistic child, laying blame at their feet. And even worse, it demeans all the wonderful autistic people who give so much diversity to our lives. Leave them the fuck alone. /rant

It's not lost on me in the midst of this eulogizing and memorializing a monster that my home state, Florida, has made it a crime to commemorate or remember the victims of the Pulse massacre.
In America, only some deaths are considered grievable. The rest of us are just "collateral damage."

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads
