I shared the heartbreak of showing #autisticjoy only to be mocked & scorned
& we sat for a moment w the collective trauma of that all-too-common experience in the autistic community -
then she lifted me up with this reminder:

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

Karen Hoyland, 58, who insists you were just fine until you got this autism nonsense in your head, has stated that this is typical of you and your non-stop drama.

Consistent! Person who says you’re not autistic gives you most shit for acting autistic

The person in your life who’s convinced you’re not really autistic at all is also the hardest on you about every single autistic trait you exhibit, it has been confirmed. Karen Hoyland, 58, who…

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.
