Attending the Puget Sound American Chemical Society, bit of an odd event, but interesting to get insights on autistic careers in STEM.

Just did a talk with the Washington Secretary of State on Neurodivergence and political access. Very important area, and one that needs more attention on it to safeguard disabled voting and legislative access.

I'm doing a talk with WA Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and Connie Graham next month on pathways to legislative advocacy for neurodivergents. Please share this in your networks- as not enough people are talking about positive pathways to legislative advocacy. RSVP here: www.ryther.org/rsvp-ay-event

I attended a disability resource fair that I had hoped to table at, but they were waitlisted on spots. I get there, and the ridiculous AI therapy org with the gaudy AI art characters had literally *multiple* tables. And my org, that does peer advocacy skill building groups, didn't get a spot. Ugh.

Something people need to understand is that, within a medical model of #disability, diagnosis serves one purpose: To provide a framework for services that cost money. The DSM is, at it's core, just as much an insurance manual as it is a diagnostic guide.

Photo from Neurodiverse NW, put on by Ryther, just a fun opportunity to network and support neurodivergent programs through Aspiring Youth. Also nice to see fellow social skills DM Adam Davis, we've been in the applied RPG space for... A long time.

I'm not gonna name the org or anything, as my goal was to get this framework out there, and I did publish it for free. And it might be complete coincidence. But still, even if it is coincidence, it is just sad to see NTs preaching this type of framework, when autistic leadership is so central to it.

Something I occasionally do, when thinking about the narratives and perspectives of autistic children, is to Google "my autistic son/daughter" and look at the autosuggested searches. They're never good. Never "My autistic daughter is creative" "my autistic son loves hugs." Just heartbreaking.

Day 2 of the Access and Functional needs conference. Big takeaways are about the importance of including disabled voices and finding existing community for emergency preparation. Orgs need to prioritize outreach and accessible trainings, & learn to support diverse families, and build plans for kids.

I've been talking with a lot of local providers who are scared that their disability programs are going to be burned to the ground by DOGE, and I tell them this- This is an uncontained forest fire. But, you have the seeds to replant once the ash is settled. Also, remember Asimov's Foundation.
Covers for the foundation novel, including an elderly scientist sitting on a throne with towers in the background, a lanky jester sitting in ruins, and a young woman on a strange surreal world.

I mean, I liked both. Leaning into Crane more as a corrupt part of the criminal justice world, then seeing him as this business suit with a bag over his face, was a fun take- something deeply Nightbreed inspired, which I appreciate.
