Aspie Supremacy can kill. →
But aspie supremacists… where to start. Their ideas are essentially very similar to the ableist society we all live in. A society that values “high functioning” whatevers over “low functioning” whatevers where the further you are from the norm the more “low functioning” they call you. Have you ever wondered why some of the people who hate autistic activists the most are often just as willing as...

Thought I’d post a comment I just spent a fair amount of time writing on Wrong Planet, in response to a person who was basically arguing that Autism Speaks is evolving in a positive direction. The basis for this assertion was the website. “As a critic of Autism Speaks and an advocate of…

There’s a lot of folk out there who work shit jobs for shit pay. Usually, they’ll be providing some form of service to other people. Which means that YOU are capable of making their jobs easier to deal with!

Please do not sexually harass staff. I’m sad that this needs to be said.

– Daria Morgendorffer (via eugenicist)
I love the irony of a eugenicist posting this. Eugenics is about as valid as phrenology.

I’m autistic. Yes, that’s right, a real live autistic adult who’s using the internet unsupervised. So, unsurprisingly, I’ve tracked the autism tag to find other folks on the spectrum to follow, etc. But y’all are really fucking the tag up. The vast majority of the posts tagged ‘autism’, are really…

Can I look at the autism tracked tag just once...
If John Best ever discovers Tumblr, we are fucked. -_-
(For those of you who don’t know who John Best is, he’s a well-known troll in the autism community who believes that mercury causes autism, he cured his son using chelation, and that autism didn’t exist before the 1930s. He’s also a misogynist and a homophobe.)

Myths About Autism 2: Electric Boogaloo
In November, I did a piece for Autistics Speaking Day called Top Five Myths About Autism. Because I have been contemplating doing a follow-up for a while, here it is.
Myth #6: All autistic people are (cis) males.
COOL STORY SIS TIME: My mom and her friend (whose daughter is also autistic) went to an event for parents of kids on the spectrum. Most people were shocked to find out that my mom and...

– Neil Gaiman on the American Gods TV adaptation (via tokenblkgirl)
Because Gaiman’s a renowned author - a renowned white author who is also a man - people will listen. I’m sure of it. If he were a POC, I would be far less sure that people would do so. And that makes me sad. At least it’s something —...

bustyzombiehookersfromspace:
According to The Wall Street Journal, a few hundred women in the town of Barbacoas in Colombia, South America are refusing to let their husbands have sex with them until they lobby the local government to make good on a decades old promise to pave a 35 mile stretch of dirt road that is their town’s only access to the outside world.
The unpaved Junin-Barbacoas route...

Why you shouldn't support Autism Speaks.

I disagree about prenatal testing (I personally don’t care whether or not there is a test), but this article sums up why I hate Autism Speaks. I kinda want to protest the next time they do a fundraiser in my town, but I’m nervous because people won’t understand why I’m protesting. They’d probably just think I’m a terrible person who...
