Needed to take a mental health break, but I’m back, and still pissed.

Black text on white background that reads “A friend once shared what she called the Parable of the Choir: A choir can sing a beautiful note impossibly long because singers can individually drop out to breathe as necessary and the note goes on. Social justice activism should be like that, she said. That’s stuck with me.

I’m so incredibly sad and frightened by the state of our country right now. I’ve never been more scared for my autistic children and their future. 😔

Every little thing Elon Musk touches is now a massive conflict of interest. @timothypmurphy.bsky.social on the sheer scope of Musk's entanglements—from Starlink, X, and Tesla to foreign raw materials and backchannels with heads of state: bit.ly/3WYI2RK

Everything Elon Musk touches is a conflict of interest

It's no longer clear where his business ends and the government's begins.

Most of the stuff in the EOs he’s put out in the past week are illegal. And they know it. They’re just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. That’s the problem though, there’s so much stuff that we can’t keep up. And some will comply out of fear and people will get in the interim.

I’m just going to keep posting this link everyday for the foreseeable future. Flood your congresspeople with calls and emails about ALL the things happening right now (of which there are many). Keep being loud, keep being obnoxious, keep being persistent. www.congress.gov/members/find...

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so terrifying. If RFK jr isn’t forced to withdraw I have no doubt republicans will still confirm him regardless of how much of a dumpster fire these hearings are. Also, shout out to the author of this article, the writing is A++

So it looks like there is news now that Title 1 and Sped funding are ok as are SNAP, Headstart, and Medicaid. Although Medicaid portals are down all over the country, so idk what that’s about. This whole thing is to create chaos, and it is. Keep being loud about it though.

Among other things, Trump’s latest unconstitutional move will pause research on cures for childhood cancer, close homeless shelters, halt food assistance, reduce safety from domestic violence, and shut down suicide hotlines. People will die. Is this what you “price of eggs” voters wanted?

My friends, a gentle reminder: focus on your breath, then your senses. What can you see, touch, taste, smell, hear now? Then back to breath. These are cues of safety in the present moment. Protect your nervous system. Your body can't stand being in a constant state of alarm without getting sick.

I wish I had something insightful or profound or even clever to say right now but I don’t. Hold your trans friends close, let them know you love them. Do the same for your LGBQ+, disabled, immigrant, and POC loved ones. We all need each other right now more than ever. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Day 1738 of winter break: The children have gone feral. Sleep is no longer a thing, time doesn’t exist. The air outside hurts my face. We are being sustained by French fries, chicken nuggets and play places. One more day, just got to make it through one. more. day.

My home state just ended sub-minimum wages for disabled workers, but there’s still action that needs to be taken to end it on a federal level. ASAN does a great job breaking down the current laws and proposed changes. Please take time to read and submit a public comment. #disabilityadvocacy

As a historian of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA therapy), Anne Borden King knows @propublica.org missed the real story about insurance and autism therapy. The question is, how could they get it so wrong? At TPGA. thinkingautismguide.com/2024/12/how-... #BetterWaysThanABA

The holidays can be hard for our neurodivergent family and friends. Be kind and thoughtful. Allow for modifications in your family traditions to accommodate your loved ones. Remember that gathering for the holidays is supposed to be about family and love.

The next time a kiddo has a tantrum or an adult has a meltdown, I'd like you to consider these words from MLK Jr: "A riot is the language of the unheard." What are they trying to tell you? And what have you done to help them feel understood?

Continuing my griping about IEP re-eval paperwork; can the GARS-3 please get rid of the “temper tantrum” language?? There’s seriously probably like half a dozen questions with this phrase on here. Temper tantrums and autistic meltdowns are NOT the same thing. At all. Seriously. Just stop it.

My sister in law told me yesterday that her insurance company has arbitrarily decided that a child no longer needs occupational therapy the second they turn 10 years old. Her 10 year old autistic son would like to respectfully disagree. 😕 One more reason to hate health insurance in this country.

I love riding the train. I find it very relaxing; the sway of the cars, the clacking of the wheels, the scenery going by the window. It’s all lovely. Heading home after a visit with my sister and enjoying the quiet calm before the chaos of home and the sprint to the holidays.

Dear Press. No, autism does not lead to rich, powerful, well connected, famous men stripping off their clothes in the workplace or simulating s*x acts on women without consent. All you're doing is making life even worse for 2 million lovely autistic people. Please take proper advice.

Doing some online holiday shopping since my kid was up at 4am. Keep seeing ads for “vintage” Kodak Polaroid cameras. Not sure how I feel about all the stuff of my youth suddenly being described as vintage… The cameras look really cool though, might have to get one for my kids 📸

Filling out these forms for my kid’s IEP re-eval make me want to scream. Do I really still need to tell these people that eye contact and sitting still are not indicative of whether or not someone is listening? Apparently I do. #specialEd #IEP #autism #neurodiversity
