Autistic Adam @autisticadam.bsky.social · Apr 12

Autistic people don’t need to be “explained away.”

They need to be understood, supported, and respected.

Let’s choose the truth.

Let’s choose dignity for all humans.

✋ Raise your hand if you agree.

I just posted my Booktok review for John Scalzi’s latest, When the Moon Hits Your Eye (which I quite enjoyed) but if you want my slightly expanded thoughts here is my review on medium
