@ekverstania @froglet80 Not that you should explore any more avenues. You are right to let it go.

[Autism in Africa | CRPD @AfricanAutists]

@ekverstania @froglet80 You're assuming that *they* misunderstood *you* though, and that they wouldn't have blocked you had they understood you. But it's perfectly possible that they didn't like what you wrote or how you wrote it or that you chose to write it at all. You are only exploring one avenue.

@KamiiKahzi She wasn't disagreeing with you. @ekverstania was agreeing with you wholeheartedly and using your excellent post to make a point. She just wanted you to know that. 😷

@KGo8675308 @dom_lucre Well, well, well. @ekverstania replied to you, then you posted this and blocked HER. She didn't block you. Are you afraid that she may bring evidence that you're talking nonsense?

@VMansell42652 @tanja_said @Monica55dzrh I do not know what form of AAC her son uses or whether her son drew that, but what I can say is that there are many nonspeaking people who want us to #ListenToNonspeakers. See what Damon Kirsebom says in this video.

As we mark World #AutismAwarenessDay and step into Autism Awareness Month, this year’s theme, “Autism and Humanity — Every Life Has Value,” reminds us that every autistic person deserves respect, dignity, and opportunity.

The Persons with Disabilities Act, 2025, for the very first time in Kenya, recognises and protects the rights of the neurodiverse community, including individuals on the autism spectrum.

This month, I urge every household and community to learn, understand, and include. Don’ shun what you don’t yet understand. Scan the QR code to read the full Act. #VIP

@TxRecon1 @binsaleh143 @libsoftiktok Many transgender people are persecuted. It is against the law in some African countries. The cruelty against trans people is real. In some countries it's safer.
