people are getting on tiktok and signing the exact english words claiming it’s ASL and then getting mad when someone who is Deaf/HoH says “that’s not how you interpret music”

ASL is not a trend!!!! its a language of its own with its own sentence structure and grammar and unless you are Deaf/HOH or an actual interpreter you should not be posting “tutorials” of how to sign to a song

if someone went onto tiktok and started speaking gibberish with an accent not their own, claiming that it was the native language they would get cancelled. so why is it okay that people get on and make videos claiming for it to be ASL when they’re using objectively wrong and even nonexistent signs??

What's worse is we're so good at pattern recognition that we can detect the smallest change in someone's attitude towards us and we know the separation is coming but can't for the life of us figure out why it's happening

The reality of being autistic is losing all types of relationships... friendships, romantic partners, jobs... having absolutely no idea what you did & never being given a chance to even understand because no one is willing to communicate with you because "you know what you did"

remember when SNAP benefits weren’t going to get distributed for november and a bunch of people and communities organized and mobilized to get people fed? yeah what happened to that

the autistic neurotype has never been as “rare” as clinicians make it out to be. it’s just been very strategically and systemically under and misdiagnosed.

neurodivergence is not just autism and ADHD. neurodivergence is also mental health disabilities, including the ones that are demonized. bipolar disorders schizophrenia dissociative disorders personality disorders including yes, narcissistic personality disorder

On #tdih in 1969, Black Panther and revolutionary Fred Hampton was assassinated by the FBI and the Chicago Police Dept. Hampton was chair of the Illinois state chapter of the Black Panthers. He believed fascism was the greatest threat to the black community.

Holy. Shit. DO NOT DO THIS. If you have the spoons, and believe in advocating for the disabled, please call Delta customer service and suggest strongly better training for flight crew on service dogs. I'm so sorry, Ky. That's scary because it's dangerous! #Disabled #Disability #ServiceDog #Delta

Ky 🛸 • Disability Advocate 🆘🇺🇸 @plscallmeky.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

thank you 🫂 i will definitely be contacting them. i’m surprised because i always fly delta and never have had an issue like this. thankfully Baloo is a good boy and ignored her then checked in with me to be like “mom did you see that????” 🤣

Ky 🛸 • Disability Advocate 🆘🇺🇸 @plscallmeky.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

to the delta flight attendant who waited until she thought i was asleep before reaching down to pet my service dog— please don’t do shit like that. distracting a service dog can be life threatening to their handler. i promise you, even if he doesn’t look like it he is working

it’s not enough to say “invisible disabilities are disabilities too” if your even has bright and flashing strobe lights

Ky 🛸 • Disability Advocate 🆘🇺🇸 @plscallmeky.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

you have to expect for disabled people to exist anywhere you do. it’s not enough to just have a sign that says “service dogs welcome” if the door to your store is too heavy for a service dog to open

what am i learning as SNAP benefits run out? that in times of crisis we can rely on our neighbors. there are still good people in the world. and if people pulled together everyday the way they are right now to feed their neighbors we wouldn’t need the government to help us at all

putting some version of “obviously this doesn’t apply if you’re disabled” at the end of what you say doesn’t make what you say any less ableist

and if you think tylenol causes autism, don’t forget the first person to get a documented, clinical diagnosis was born before tylenol existed

Today it's expected that the federal administration is going to make an announcement claiming to have found a "cause" for autism and their plan for what to do about it. Members of AU's team had a discussion about what sort of statement we wanted to make and came to this conclusion: those of us who are impacted by this sort of rhetoric (actual autistic people) have known for a very long time that this was coming.

Despite research proving time and again there is no one "cause" for the autistic neurotype, people still want something to "blame". The real epidemic here is ableism. The amount of time and energy presumably spent on naming autism a "public health crisis" should be spent on solving actual public health crises (such as the overwhelmingly horrifying reality of black maternal mortality rates) and finding ways to support autistic people, not "cure" them. We have no interest in entertaining this announcement but what we do want is the unredacted Epstein files
