To be seeing traditionally conservative states take the lead in not allowing antisemitic protests take over colleges and universities while traditionally liberal states areโฆ.just letting it happen is truly a blinders off moment.

Nobody gives a flying fuck about your identity as a black and queer person. You have the freedom to live here loud and proud as it should be.
We care that youโre a hateful antisemite whoโs too dumb to confront their own shit.
A lot of people have been saying very racist, homophobic, bigoted things about me online and I just want to remind folks that I donโt care ๐ sorry! Iโm for decolonization, liberation, and justice! Never gonna change.
@AutisticCallum_
this is why I will always encourage people to accept self diagnosis as when you know, you can start to protect yourself better and hopefully avoid the more serious effects of masking
What this article fails at spectacularly is understanding the nature of why autistic adults are *this* protective of autistic kids. We are like mama bears. I wonder if this part gets ignored because we are perceived as lacking in empathy. The opposite is true.
Hi! I wrote this story about why tensions run so high online between parents of kids with autism and autistic adults: Would love to hear what you think about it! via

Now Jews canโt attend school?!? Is this where we are?!?
Say what you will about the Republicans. Theyโre not stupid enough to be siding with Hamas over their neighbors, and theyโre not blowing up their own party to cheerlead theocratic terrorists halfway around the world.

We are not in this for ego or to make a point. We are literally begging parents to listen and to stay away from certain harmful therapies like ABA and to realize autistic kids become autistic adults. To treat their children with respect and give them agency.

If youโre not horrified that Jewish students are not allowed to attend in person classes at Columbia I want you to look in the mirror because this is a pivotal moment for you.
Take it in. Take note.
@BrandonNot345
I guess Iโm not shocked so much either anymore. Itโs just the combo of Biden letting us down and this imminent threat from Iran. I was a bleeding heart liberal. Not anymore.
As a Jew (lol) Iโm sometimes more offended by the STUPIDITY than the blatant antisemitism.

Youโre making a LOT of assumptions here and thatโs not cool to me. How about some if us donโt even have the time or realization or executive function to relate to these terms in the way you describe. I think youโre reaching. Very far.
๐จ๐จ๐จBREAKING: Biden calls for Israel to unilaterally declare ceasefire in Gaza, unlinked to any hostage release
This is a complete change from his administrationโs stance that conditioned a truce in Gaza on Hamas releasing some of the hostages.
iโll never understand how someone can look at a kid doing this and think they need to make the kid stop. this is cute. how is this anything besides cute
Autism on TV: I am a 18 year old awkward white boy that wears headphones everywhere.
Autism IRL: I am a 45 year old woman who's been gaslight her entire life for being 'a princess on the pea' with a ginormous heart and can look people in the eye fine IF they are authentic AF.
Autism on TV: I am a nerdy Superman except my Kryptonite is literally anything touching me at all

@ShesKindaALot
Can you please refer to us as being autistic? Gay folks donโt โhave gayโ itโs a great analogy to show how weird it sounds to us. ABA is conversion therapy. Where have we heard this before?

Hair is important. My mom had cancer and the hospital hair stylist didnโt work with people who were bedridden (??) so her own stylist came, washed and cut her hair. My mom was v v ill and Iโll never forget the look on her face. She was so grateful.
I'm realizing that most non-autistic people,
especially when thinking about social norms that they're used to in society,
think that a lot of autistic people have a choice to be the "right way"
when actually we just have a disability. ๐คท๐ป

As I come to terms with my own diagnosis (Iโm delighted by it) I am clocking SO many others out there. Just by our sheer numbers it would mean like 25% of pregnancies leading to a termination. This is a total spit ball but I think we have some safety in numbers

Thank you so so much for this. I grew up in the Netherlands and have always felt protective of Anne, as a little girl I was convinced my mother was the reincarnation of her, but thatโs a whole other story. Thanks again

This shit makes me so mad. The constant comparisons to concentration camps where people were murdered, starved, where there was zero healthcare unless they were experimenting on you.
Now compare that to how these hospitals are described. Open air prison my ass.
Donโt let neurotypical developmental timelines influence your parenting. Let your kid develop at their own pace. No shoe lacing skills? Buy sock sneakers. Buttons & zippers no bueno? Get joggers. And above all donโt make a big deal out of it.

Iโm emotional this morning it happens ๐ซฃ I realized whatโs been hurting so much is that a clear stance for Israel and against terror army Hamas leads folks to believe Iโm a warmongering villain.

No one is confused Jason, I grew up in the Netherlands and had the opportunity to walk out on a dinner once I found out who was attending, I was not much older than you. Thereโs having understanding for someoneโs past and then thereโs a literal naziโs past.

Many ADHD'ers have trouble getting to sleep. The lack of stimulation before bed can make our mind race, chasing away our chances at sleep.
Strangely, some ADHD'ers find stimulant meds help with this, as they can quiet our mind and allow us to finally fall asleep

So Much This. I used to tell people, resilience? Living in the world as an autistic person makes us resilient by default. We donโt need more challenges. Good for you.
Iโm really sick and tired of being made out to be a hateful person because I question humanitarian aid going into Gaza.
Why canโt we put pressure this way to get our people back? Why is it on Israel to feed the very people that want to destroy them?

Thereโs a weird shift happening where now everything, from how the war began to this moment is laid at Bibiโs feet. โItโs his fault Hamas attacked, itโs his fault we are losing.โ And now itโs his fault that Israel will respond to Iran. Its wrapped up in a handy package for them.

I think they might misunderstand the autistic kidsโ reaction. They probably go ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ and go about their day. My autistic kid doesnโt flinch about any of these themes.
