This is why my neuropsychologist doesnt establish level 1,2 etc. she tells her patients that the level and needs change over time pending so many things. At one point in a persons life they could high functioning/level 1 and then something in life happens and they require more accommodations

Disabled people are not the enemy

Immigrants are not the enemy

LGBTQ+ people are not the enemy

Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy

These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us

They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda

7 October 2023: What really happened?

Much of what we thought we knew about the attack has turned out to be false or only partially true. We owe it to the Palestinians to understand what happened.

Masking helps us survive, but it’s not sustainable. It’s dangerous to keep hiding pain just to be seen as “acceptable.”
We deserve to be safe as we are

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

ICE Flight Monitor @iceflightmonitor.bsky.social · 9d

An ICE deportation flight (OAE3671) that departed Phoenix, AZ yesterday morning has just landed in Casablanca, Morocco after stops in Senegal (likely fuel) and Mauritania. This marks the 1st deportation to Morocco since at least 2020 when ICE flight tracking began.

Tired of seeing autism framed as a crisis or a burden! The crisis? Lack of services
Misdiagnosis
Systemic bias
Autism isn’t the enemy
Ableism is & no I will not shut up about it ♾️

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

While there are also nearly untraceable flights to Africa…hmmm

Almost like the government is illegally dropping off people in other countries
