YouTube gives Del Bigtree the boot…about 4 years too late
Del Bigtree was a mediocrity who found he could gather a following (and make money) by joining the anti-vaccine bandwagon. He was a minor producer for the daytime TV show “The Doctors” before he quit to join Andrew Wakefield’s team creating the fake documentary “Vaxxed”. If you’ve forgotten Del (or never knew who he was), […]

Thank you and farewell, Mel
Mel Baggs has passed on. Many may remember the name Amanda Baggs, same person. There is so much one could write about the impact that Mel had on the autism communities and the disability communities and humanity in general. I will not express the sadness I feel, but I want to write about two areas […]

Lessons for the Day of Remembrance in the COVID19 era
Let me put this more direct: Everyone is stressed right now. If you think you are at your own limits, find someone to take over. Call family. Call social services. Call someone. Please. It’s April. For some it’s “autism awareness month”. For others, we remember autistics and other people with disabilities who have been killed […]

WTF Republicans?
Both houses of Congress are working furiously on bills to stimulate the economy following the COVID-19 slowdown. Which is a good thing. But, politicians are politicians and they can’t seem to “waste a good crisis” (as the saying goes). From the Washington Post: The GOP just smuggled another awful provision into the stimulus According to […]

One feels that the neurodiversity movement is springing up too late, thus why I feel saddened by people not being brave enough to post pro-actively on your forum
It’s never too late to fight for change, respect and inclusion. Granted these are things that should have been available to individuals with autism long before now, but better late, then never. We all need to work together. I feel our biggest obstacle and the strongest source of resistance comes from many parents of autistic children who for some reason don’t feel autistic adults have the right to speak regarding their child because their child is ‘more severely affected’ then those who can speak and have lived their lives overcoming adversity, struggling through life in a world that largely didn’t acknowledge their existence, and to a large degree but shrinking every day, still doesn’t today. I think that those who oppose the neurodiversity movement just don’t truly understand that what it is about is exactly what they want for their own child who may not be verbal, may never be verbals but still has value as a human being and is still greatly loved and deserves respect and inclusion in life to whatever degree their ability level allows them to be. The first thing we need to do is get everyone within the autism community on the same page, working toward the same end goals. Then we just might be able to convince the rest of the world. We have to keep fighting, because the fight continues until it is won, or we all surrender, and I’m certain nobody really wants to surrender so we keep fighting.
