An old “friend” learns an old lesson
15 years ago I went online to find out information about autism. Like many parents, I didn’t know much before my kid was diagnosed. And like many parents, I’m still learning. With the rise of the internet and, later, social media, advocacy by and for autistic people was increasing. It wasn’t new (for example, Jim […]

No, the CDC didn’t report that masks are ineffective against COVID-19
Let’s put this another way. Masks don’t work if you wear them “all the time” but not when you are in the most risky situations. Imagine sitting down to drinks with your friends and saying, “Hey, I wore a mask all day. So I’m safe drinking my beer and talking to you all while in […]

Anti-vaccine activist on the Proud Boys: “They seemed like really good guys”
Over the past four years many extremist and conspiracy theorist groups have been connecting and even forming alliances. The pandemic and the shelter in place orders have probably increased this trend, with anti-vaccine activists and other conspiracy groups joining with extremist groups in protests online and in person. This isn’t entirely new. Recall a few […]

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.
