Why I’m Still Boycotting Autism Speaks
Planned Parenthood is targeted for defunding, as well as attacks by extremists, because 5% of their budget is spent on something a segment of the population morally disagree with. This same segment throw financial and personal support at Autism Speaks, including President Trump and Vice President Pence, when the result of finding a way to diagnose autism in the womb will lead to the same exact place. Children with autism will be aborted. The hypocrisy is aggravating. The fact these men appear to despise autistic people more than they openly hate abortion is terrifying.
Autism Is My Super Power…Or Not
We aren't a collection of quirks, stims, and sensitivities. We are real people with problems, like everyone else.
Punching Nazis Is Better Than Promoting Their Treatments For Autism
It's so bizarre that I'm not convinced a treatment that began in Nazi Germany with the torture of mentally ill and autistic people before their eventual murders is a good direction to take. Excuse me for thinking this treatment is torture when it was the foundation of Applied Behavior Analysis and Conversion Therapy used on LGBT people to try forcing them into being straight.

Looking Away From The Murder of Disabled People
The sad fact is that violence against disabled people is normalized in our society. It's a revolutionary act for a person with a disability to boldly proclaim they don't want to be put out of their misery. It is an act of defiance against social norms for a family member to say they don't feel burdened by someone they love, and would fight tooth and nail for that person to remain in their lives. It is considered insensitive to tell someone who loved the movie Me Before You that you think it sends a dangerous message.
Burden – A Heavily Loaded Word
If their existence wasn't such a burden, it wouldn't have been necessary to murder them.
Autism is the Reason I Abuse You
People with autism are far more likely to be the victims of spousal abuse than the perpetrators. I should know.
