You don’t need to be Black or autistic to stand in solidarity. Follow, share, and uplift Black autistic advocates doing powerful work. Start with listening 👌🏽

Decentering white narratives doesn’t mean silencing white autistics it means making room. Listening. Citing BIPOC-led work. Resisting the urge to speak for everyone. White people: : if your version of “autism advocacy” isn’t intersectional, it isn’t justice

Please check out Ms. AWashington’s academic paper, which has real world import and includes vital action steps. The difference between performative allyship and true allyship is highlighted with distinguishing qualities and helpful examples. Important, engaging, inspiring!

Why is it that 'research that’s clearly forbidden as unethical for non-autistic children is somehow allowed when autistic children are the subjects'? Anne Borden King is asking the hard questions, as usual:

Autistic people aren’t broken versions of normal.

We are the proof that “normal” was never real.

The world needs our way of seeing - it just doesn’t know it yet.

Autistiphobia is discrimination and bigotry towards autistic people specifically.

It’s a subset of ableism.

Most autistic people I meet *like* being autistic. It’s core to who they are & comes with many strengths

What’s hard is surviving in a society that rarely accommodates, respects or tries to understand us

There’s a BIG difference between being autistic & being unsupported

Let’s not confuse the two

Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️

There are no words — you have to hear it. A Ukrainian song is pure light, a balm for the soul, a healing melody for the heart.

the war forecast says it might stay calm.

I brought you
