It's also understanding that autism is an intrinsic part of human diversity, of autistic people. You don't get autism outside of autistic people, and we should value and cherish them (cherish *you*) as we would any precious member of our family and society.

A bare minimum of what someone can do? When they hear about something, say, “that’s not okay.” Next up, if you see something, say, “that’s not okay.” You may not know exactly what to do. But you can do that. Also, check out bystander tips for witnessing harassment: righttobe.org/guides/bysta...

When I studied Yoga for Children at Thailand's Suai School 30 years ago, I learned Trataka, or eye yoga. I love teaching Trataka and other mindful movement to our Youth Peacemakers to help them de-escalate. Today Jimmy and Jordan teach us how to do this meditation. Try it! --tree

I’m not technically a cis man, but I am thought of as one to most people outside of queer communities, and I do this whenever I can. It really does work. If you get pushback, just ask the person to explain why they think the joke is funny. It works. It’s easy. Please do this.

Being autistic is knowing I won't fit in with others. Even after years of trying. All it will do is lead to burnout. Is that worth it ? I don't think so. At least with my own space and minimal time around others anyway it reduces the risk of anxiety or anything else for that matter massively.

As an autistic person, this is what I'm saying. It's so frustrating to have these unspoken/unwritten rules be the thing I'm being judged on, and not, y'know, my skills and experience. If you're judging candidates on unwritten/unspoken rules, you are being ableist. You just are.

Basic income isn't charity, and it isn't taking from those who've earned something to give to those who haven't. It's your natural inheritance, owed to you simply by virtue of your own inherent worth, a floor like the land we all need to stand on, not something you have to prove or earn.
