Please remember: When we remind people that “there is NO evidence linking vaccines to autism” without adding “and fear of autism hurts autistics,” then we’re actually contributing to negative stereotypes about autism & autistic people. At TPGA:

I don't know who needs to see this, but sensory sensitivities due to brain wiring differences are disabling.

What I mean by this is that some people have brain wiring that creates sensory integration issues... which causes the brain to over respond to sensory inputs.

RFK‘s war against the autistic community has caused many kids to be subject to cruel and abusive treatments and therapies

His circle targets kids who can’t say no or unable to refuse consent

Justice is coming for RFK I wonder what it will look like

You can’t abuse autistic kids forever RFK.

I’ve never met an autistic person whose “behaviour” wasn’t completely logical once you understood their needs, their history, and their nervous system.

We’re not confusing.

People just aren’t listening.

Employment Support Services in Ontario - Under pressure, Underperforming, Underwhelming - Community Living Ontario
Will anything change after more than five years of criticism? Community Living Ontario has published two reports on Ontario Progressive Conservative changes to employment programs (now called 'Integrated Employment Services') over the past few years. The reports were published in partnership with the Ontario Disability Employment Network (ODEN) under the banner of "Tangled in Red Tape," and they offer a discouraging picture.

Decades of rigorous and scientifically sound research have proven that vaccines do not cause autism. CDC’s decision to change language on its website reversing that finding is reckless & harmful.
