"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

To the Editor:

I am one of these so-called profoundly autistic people this article describes. I cannot utter meaningful speech, and as a result, I was branded for years as someone with an intellectual disability and an I.Q. of 40. All this time, however, I understood everything that was going on around me. I just could not show it to others because of my deranged relationship with my own body.

I am concerned about the creation of a separate category, called profound autism, for those of us with the most severe disabilities. There are real differences between the sort of autism that I have and so-called Asperger's syndrome. But it does not help us at all to impose a hierarchy of lower and higher functioning. We need to figure out how to tap into the skills and insights of those of us who cannot talk, who make up anywhere from 25 percent to 40 percent of the autistic community, depending on the estimate.

For me, the way out of this dilemma was learning to communicate by typing. I suddenly went from being seen as intellectually impaired to taking college classes. I was never low-functioning, and neither are my autistic brothers and sisters without the ability to speak. I was just misjudged and ignored, and I fear that my fate will be the fate of many others termed low functioning in this new schema.

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Much of the progress U.S. Soccer and the NWSL has seen over the past few years doesn't happen if Press was a degree less principled than she was forced to be. None of it should have been her job or responsibility, but she accepted it anyway, despite consequences to her own career. Press dared to have the audacity to believe that following the dream of playing soccer shouldn't require participation in systems rigged to make her powerless. This "radical" belief often made her a pariah, but it's also why time will carry her legacy forward as it begins to march again.

My mom required a low salt diet for years and I got used to it cooking for her, so just continued doing it for myself too. It’s really annoying though that the salt free Tony’s (etc) costs so much more! Spices Inc has a lot of good salt free blends.
