Anyone on my network familiar with social supports in Canada, specifically in Edmonton, where a disabled autistic guy might turn for help? He’s about to lose housing and internet access. He’s brilliant but physically hurt, and he’s about to be on the street in this winter.

Disability justice ORGS will say"nothing about us without us"but provide little to no OPP for participation in decision-making BY community members or even volunteering. And most of their leadership seems to be composed of people who are far more functional than some of us.

I wish people would stop saying that ridiculous phrase: It never hurts to try/apply.
It absolutely hurts to try/apply for stuff and be rejected repeatedly especially for things that are basic human needs. Not to mention the spoons spent in applying for things when spending spoons can be painful

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Can insomnia be an MCAS symptom? I was upset about something last night but it wasn't a stay up till 6 AM kind of upset. But I did try a new food that I had a mild reaction to last night. Well mild because I ate an extremely tiny amount and then spit it out.
