Most of the time, I don’t “seem” Autistic.
And it doesn’t “seem” like it’s disabling to me.
However anyone who saw me this time last week in hospital, totally breaking down multiple times, would have quickly realised that I am Autistic and it is massively disabling to me.

Mitochondria being the powerhouse of the cell is cool and all but I think classes like "How to calm the fuck down as an adult in a healthy non self-destructive way 101" is something that should also be taught before graduation

I would like to say that, as someone who has lived my entire life, raised a family, and practice medicine completely within a system of Government paid/provided, free and/or at a truly low cost - all Americans deserve this, because healthcare is a human right.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.
They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.
