I genuinely think that many people don't fully understand the situation in the USA.

Trump reacting to not winning the noble peace prize is funny. Like Sir, you bring the opposite of peace.

If you want to know what autistic people think of RFK statements about autism... We are fucking tired of him and his remarks.

You weren’t “lazy”.

You were autistic and overwhelmed.

You weren’t “indecisive”.

You were autistic and unsafe.

You weren’t “procrastinating”.

You were autistic and frozen.

Autistic inertia isn’t refusal.

It’s a nervous system doing its best to survive.

Who in the right mind claims circumcision causes autism? I don't know whether to laugh or be mad. Like What?

I also don't remember being circumcised? 🤣 Sorry had to laugh.

Women are sexualized for everything such as wearing glasses, having jobs like being a nurse or police officer, putting our hair up, eating bananas or ice cream, or simply for having (non-s3xual) body parts like feet or a stomach. Yet, women are criticized & blamed just for existing in a female body.

As a show of sincere commitment to Trump’s so called “Gaza Peace Deal,” Israel is continuing to bomb civilians through out the night.

4 out of 5 Stars! ⭐️

"You Should've Just Let Me Go" by Bailey Fhomas.

This book takes you on a story of two people in a relationship that is going down hill very fast and then suddenly they break up. Both of them go their separate ways and deal with the breakup differently.

It is confirmed that Israel mistreated and tried to harm Greta Thunberg after she was captured, including abuse & forcing her to kiss the Israeli flag while taking pictures of her. Thanks to Swedens swift response she was successfully removed from Israel; taken back to safety with no further harm.

"But you don't look autistic"

Oh I am sorry. Maybe my mom should have taken more Tylenol. 😏

In all seriousness, I am joking and coping with the statement Tylenol causes autism. Please do your research why autistic people exist.

I think a LOT of the current discourse around autism would be instantly simplified if we called autistic challenges vulnerabilities rather than deficits.

That is all.

I hate when my book shelf gets full and then I have to contemplate if I need a bigger book shelf or I need to get rid of some books. It's one of the worst feelings ever.
