Ben Breaux, our communication rights advisor, does not speak but has a lot to say about shock torture at JRC where many nonspeakers have had their rights stripped and their bodily autonomy violated by shock, restraint, food deprivation, spanking, and other abuses. #StopTheShock
@NeuroClastic There should be ZERO expectation by or feeling of entitlement on the part of managers and employers that they have a right to ANY part of our lives that spent off the clock. We aren't doctors and shouldn't be "on call" nor our attention "on demand".
@NeuroClastic Western work culture needs to be completely overhauled, benefitting everyone, but esp. us Autistics. If we HAVE to work a paycheck job, we ought to be able to just show up, be left alone, do our work, go home, get paid. Period. No "work family" BS. No after hours anything!
@StephenKing I love you, Stephen King, You are fantastic. But yeah, some men can have babies. I am sure I am not the only one saying that in this thread.
His critics believed the role should be played by a trans actor. Would he take it if he was offered it today?
“No, I wouldn’t take it on now. I made that film with the best intentions, but I think it was a mistake.”
@milabuncake@Samantha_Stein@NeuroClastic This is incredible!! Wow. And not messy at all. I love how you expressed your various qualities and traits, strengths and weaknesses, etc. Very creative and beautifully expressive.
@MavenOfMayhem @MavenOfMayem I am in TOTAL agreement about Zuck's/FB's lack of ethics & it being unhealthy in many ways. All true. Apologies for misunderstanding your intent. I hear you & appreciate what you meant to convey.
@MavenOfMayhem Saying that people do nothing of consequence on FB & that they can all learn to live without it is absolutely ignorant of the massive paradigm-shifting work being down on that platform & dismisses the value of the platform for disabled people and oppressed minorities.//
@MavenOfMayhem Facebook is NOT just about ego, illusion, or frivolous entertainment. A lot of amazing stuff happens there. I can testify as to the lives of thousands of Autistic kids whose lives are better/safer now thanks to a group in which parents seek guidance from Autistic adults.
