Like, John Oliver helped to explain how banning trans people in sports is a slippery slope more than 4 months ago. I wish more people would see it. Here it is: youtu.be/flSS1tjoxf0?...

best example I've heard of the social model was a Blind speaker pointing out that indoor lighting is an accommodation for sighted people.

Reminder: autism is a disability. If that bothers you and you want to argue, take a moment to consider why you find it upsetting. What accommodations do you have that allow you that privilege? What's so bad about being disabled? Why would you deny the difficulties so many autistic people face?

If we want to support alternative transportation, then we need people who use alternatives on the boards that guide decision making. If we want to support renters, they need to be on boards. Bikers, bus riders, and renters unite! Hey, @ahym666.bsky.social you will find this interesting.

I’ll repeat it as many times as I have to Self-identification is VALID if you need the ICD-10 code to get something you need, then I hope you can access the eval you deserve But if you don’t have use for the dx code please don’t waste your resources You don’t need our permission to believe it.

A kiddo is diagnosed as Autistic in young age, gets awesome supports, loving parents, does quite well. Years later parent says, "I don't know if they're REALLY Autistic, they don't have meltdowns or self harm!" Therapist: "That doesn't mean they're not Autistic. It means they feel heard & safe."
