Decades of blaming moms for autism:

1960s: Refrigerator moms.
1990s: Bad parenting.
2025: Tylenol moms.

History repeats itself.
Stop blaming mothers.
Fund families, not fear.

Guess who didn’t take Tylenol during her 3 pregnancies?

Guess who has autistic children?

Autism support is suicide prevention.

Today is world suicide prevention day.
You matter. You belong here.

If you’re struggling, call 988 for help.

🚨Before misinformation starts spreading from junior…

Sweden’s massive study of 2.4 million children proves no causal link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism/ADHD.

Facts matter.

Just remember, they can try to silence us while we sleep, but we will be louder as we wake.

🚨 Do NOT give your autistic child bleach (chlorine dioxide)….it’s poison, not a cure.

New Facebook groups are popping up, pushing chlorine dioxide as a “cure” for autism. Don’t fall for it. It’s bleach. It’s dangerous. It’s illegal.

Can’t believe we are back here. 😫

⚠️ STOP CELEBRATING MEDICAID CUTS.
You might be on it & not even know.

Medicaid isn’t always called Medicaid. It has different names in almost every state & millions are about to lose coverage without warning.

Think it doesn’t affect you? You’re wrong.

This isn’t just policy.
It’s people’s lives.

Cheat a Medicaid application? 🤣

Tell me you haven’t been through the process without telling me.

You can’t cheat. Almost everyone I know has been denied at least 2 times, if not more. The process isn’t easy.

Keeping fighting for us, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social !

The autism diagnosis didn’t break us. It finally explained us.

Autism isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Every journey looks different, whether you’re autistic, a parent, sibling, partner, or caregiver.

You don’t get to gatekeep autism because someone’s experience doesn’t look like yours. Different doesn’t mean invalid.

This space should be about support, not shame.

I don’t.
What I do regret is the way the world treats them because of it.

The pace of learning doesn’t define a child, the support they get does. Keep showing up. Keep fighting for them.

Thanks to the Supreme Court, parents can hold schools accountable when they fail to accommodate our kids. This is a win for every child who’s ever been left behind.

just accidentally closed a browser tab I’ve been “about to read” for 2.5 years.

Was it important? No idea.
Was it my emotional support tab? Yes.

You can’t gut Medicaid and call it reform—when autistic people lose care, they lose safety, support, and sometimes their lives.

Being autistic is not a disappointment —it’s a message: you belong, you matter, and the world needs you exactly as you are.

Imagine being disabled, fighting for your rights, and forcefully removed for advocating…

Future generations will likely remember this as the most catastrophic administration in history.

Disability activists forcefully removed for advocating as Kennedy Jr’s hearing.

May 14 is PDA Day. PDA involves intense anxiety around demands, leading to nervous system responses—not defiance.

Support means honoring autonomy, not enforcing compliance. It’s can’t, not won’t.

PDAers deserve respect, co-regulation, and spaces that meet their needs.
