The aim with this story is to hear from folks currently navigating the complicated web of information on what does/doesn't help autistic kids and adults. If you are autistic and your parents used these kinds of treatments on you, please reach out, as well.

In 1999, Lois Curtis and Elaine Wilson brought a challenge to the Supreme Court, which ruled in their favor and agreed that people with disabilities have a right to live outside the walls of asylums, state hospitals and nursing homes. More than two decades later, that right is under threat.

We’ve got the inside story of how Trump’s displeasure with seeing homeless people in D.C. became the first domino in a series of actions that culminated in the administration’s stunning decision to weaken the rights of millions of disabled Americans to live in their homes and communities.

How Trump’s homelessness crackdown became a sweeping retreat from disability rights
After issuing a memo making it easier to institutionalize homeless people, the Justice Department began abandoning cases protecting disabled people’s right to live in the community.

what a terrible failure of both our sanctuaries
Toro de Paula, speaking in Spanish in a telephone interview from the Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, run by GEO Group, told me that she “came to the United States because I heard that here they respected the laws for trans women.” In New York, she found doctors who prescribed her hormones and helped her begin the process of medical transition. “I felt cared for, protected, loved, respected. And truly, I will never forget what’s happening to me now

There is something so frustrating about watching basically every staff sports writer completely mangle this story about transphobia in the WNBA, while so many trans journalists who would do a great job (and who have been pitching stories about this!) are struggling to get hired and make ends meet.

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.
