This won't be limited to just autism. They're building the panopticon to track anyone with any "undesirable" illness. This is eugenics, full stop.

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

So fun fact - people on the left *are* working with young men. Like I got a whole ass partner who spends all his time doing that. People just sorta ignore that because it doesn't make for good headlines, and also people like saying we need to bring back the subjugation of women.

Do you know why people who find out they are autistic do this? It’s a request for kindness and understanding before doing or saying something which will be perceived as odd. It’s also a way to understand ourselves, having just received a new word to describe how we’ve been our entire lives

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

I am still waiting to hear from the Resolve AB lab at @ucalgary.bsky.social as I try to claw for help and resources in my community, for other women. I managed to survive. It was also unbearable, in many ways. The women and children in my area deserve more than platitudes and dismissal.

Hey, so when did neurotypicals start thinking autism = high chance of doing a Nazi salute on international broadcasts? When did that trait get added to the DSM 5? I'm going to make this easy. Do this salute, or make apologies for someone who does, near me and I am going to punch you in the throat.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

In 2022 I wrote a piece on Ireland’s military neutrality and the eternally frustrated media and political voices who wish it were not so. Every so often they announce, sans evidence, that the public have changed their mind and this assertion rolls around unchallenged until killed by the next poll.
