There is staggering cruelty in intentionally making life more difficult for an already disadvantaged & marginalized community.
This will negatively impact someone you know & it will echo throughout their entire life.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Hey team, I'm your friendly neighborhood mental health professional.
I'm checking in today to remind you that conversation therapy isn't therapy, it's just torture.
Don't torture kids folks.

My wise, beautiful, smart, & awesome wife recommended this book to me.
Folks, this one is going to stay with me for a long long time.
If you need/want to read something that's going to break your heart & rewire your brain, this is worth your time.
