Really good info - just want to highlight that a lot of these laws end up doing double-duty against Autistic folks too - a lot of Trans folks are Autistic and many of the bans - especially against minors getting care - use that as a justification (1/)
(1/10) A heads up:
The Department of Energy is trying to weaken their Section 504 regulations. The links below have the actual text for what they want to do, BUT I'll give a quick explainer.

Thank you @bencollins.bsky.social, @acyn.bsky.social, and @govpritzker.illinois.gov on behalf of all Autistic people everywhere for highlighting this. As the CEO of Autism, I can assure you, all the weird ableist nepo babies combined couldn't have the heart the average autistic person has.

I agree with Satan.
Self diagnosis is valid (and in a lot of ways a really good thing). Just remember the reason to do it is knowing what you need to do to make your life better and know yourself - and that you might find it doesn't quite fit either. All brains are valid.

Still not over the whole ASAN and Autism Speaks thing around RFK, but it did turn into a casted pod so if you want to learn about how this is trampling on the Kennedy family's work to make things better, take a listen! youtu.be/TmSKkbPwgL0
