So, there are so many different theories people have to explain autism. Lack of Theory of Mind, monotropism, Intense World Theory, and several others. Curious to know: which theories does the autistic community find relatable to experience? #autistic

I promise you, you’re not angry enough. The rage I feel right now as a father of an autistic child is one that could burn down Washington. How unimaginably cruel, reckless, and inhumane. The women later lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital. This must end. Jail these people.

Some autistic women suggest their anti-social behaviors are misunderstood & underneath it all they really like people. I want to be clear that my anti-social behaviors are because I don’t like (most) people. To be fair, some of that is being stuck in MAGA-ville. I was more outgoing in Maine.

I have had to remove a few FB comments from people who demanded to know why Aliya Rahman, the autistic woman who was pulled from her car by ICE in Minneapolis, didn’t “just follow instructions.” These comments, unfortunately, reveal lack of understanding about being autistic. Here is why. 1/

One of the key ingredients to being autistic is no key ingredient to being autistic. Time and time and time again I see someone saying you need to be like this or you need to be like that. Guess what, it's a load of rubbish. Stereotypes can limit others and this sort of behaviour needs to stop.

This is the 2nd autistiphobic (meaning bigoted/hateful towards autistics as a group) comment I've found in the last hour promoting false memes and negative stereotypes against autistics. So, this person thinks autistics can't be "clever" or "street smart" simply because they're autistic. 1/

Stop pushing these misinformed stigmas upon autistics. Autism isn't isn't the reason Musk is a hate-spewing horror. It's not because Musk is #autistic that he's using Twitter to serve his fascist, far-right purposes. It has nothing to do with autism. Many (possibly most?) of us are on the left.

No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova. **This includes non-speakers &/or peeps w/ID** www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/posi...

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People

For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

I hope I don't offend anyone, and won't go into a long explanation as to why, but I really can't support the whole autism=robotic persona comparison. It feeds all the negative stereotypes. In fact I find it offensive, but I'm just one person. I realize everyone is gonna have their own experience.

So, I just dropped off my ballot. Oregon was the first state to implement vote by mail, in 1998. Ballot comes in the mail, I fill out the ballot, & either send it back, or drop it off a couple blocks away at a drop box at the public library. It's so easy & stress free.
