there's a new nyt article about autism. my key takeaway is that we have to find a way to distinguish voices of/issues related to caregiving from issues related to disability itself

talked to my therapist about football related anxiety. she said to pause and reflect on how I feel in anxious moments and ask if its worth how it makes me feel which I thought was really helpful and valuable feedback relayed that to group chat and they were like OF COURSE IT IS SHE DOESNT GET IT

this is a good article. we're moving beyond "what do folks need" (a flawed question already!) to defining an entire population based on "what we're willing to do for them" but tbh it's also codifying how some states (ahem texas) kind of already operate
