A True NON-Racist’s Reaction to Being Called a Racist:
“Why would you call me that? What did I do to make you think that? Please tell me so I know not to make that mistake...

Finally had the bright idea to look the ISNT up on the Wayback Machine, since it seems to be down on Autistics.org.

Dear NTs/allistics:
Please please please please please please PLEASE stop painting our lives as pity parties solely because we’re autistic. The state of being autistic in and of itself doesn’t warrant pity. Trust us, we’re not miserable because we’re autistic.
The reason why anxiety and...

dear parents of people with autism
howtfoldlaundry:
the moment you decide to ignore a callout about your ableism because autistic voices aren’t as important as non-autistic voices in the cause of autism awareness, you are no longer advocating for people with special needs.
at all.

if anyone saw Parenthood’s Tough Love, what did they think about Max asking his parents if he could skip out.
I think that the social hell basketball is to him may be worth skippingg. that stuff doesn’t really help you in the long run.
but his parents want him to never use asperger’s as an excuse and that’s valid because asperger’s doesn’t….physically/..limit you.

It’s not like this is a big deal, or that I really care much about it at all, but it can be kind of ridiculous the extent to which people posting panels of latest updates can spoil the outcome for those who haven’t QUITE gotten around to checking the updates themselves yet.

You dont seem “abnormal” to me - A friend
Absolutely love this blog.
People with disabilities are never more disabled than when they are overcompensating.
For so many of us on the spectrum who can “pass” to one degree or another, especially those of us who were diagnosed in mid-life, overcompensating is how we have lived our lives. For most of my life, I struggled to hear...

Being overwhelmed by your environment does not make you a baby. Having a food aversion does not make you a baby. Having a public “meltdown,” however, suggests a lack of mature coping skills and room for learning. Continuing to “instantly throw up” when exposed to a long list of common foods instead of taking on the project of desensitization suggests an attitude of...

The Passing of Dr Jeannette Holden
I just found out that Jeannette Holden passed away yesterday morning. She did a lot in the Autism communities, including working on genetic research. Of course, some of what she worked with I haven’t made up my mind about, but I worked with her on the Board for the Kingston Foundation for Autism. She always treated me with respect, and valued my input. It was she that wanted me to sit on...
