John West, also affectionately known as Uncle John or Mr. West, was an Autistic content creator who made content about navigating life with autism. His death comes as a shock to us all. Wes, John's sister, gained custody of him in 2024 after receiving horrible care from his previous living situation. In the 2 and half years since living with his sister, West's life thrived as she documented his journey and helped him become a better man.

While it's gotten better in recent years, Autism is still widely misunderstood with a lot of people thinking you either need to be a savant or be severely physically disabled to have autism. Whether it was him posting a video of himself working out or him eating a cupcake, Uncle John was a shining example of how autistic people can be beautiful by simply being themselves.

Rest in Peace to a kind and beautiful soul.

Jude Kofie is a young pianist from Aurora, Colorado. Born prematurely and facing health challenges like multiple surgeries and an Autism diagnosis, Jude’s early years were marked by resilience. But it was his unlikely discovery of music that would redefine his life and captivate audiences around the world.

Jude began playing piano at 10 and his musical gifts were first noticed by his father, a musician from Ghana. He recognized Jude had perfect pitch and could play by ear. When a local piano tuner, Bill Magnusson, saw a news feature on Jude, he was inspired and moved enough to donate a grand piano to support Jude’s dreams.

Jude is celebrated for his soulful interpretations of jazz, gospel, and classical music. His performances have lead to collabs with people like Jason Halbert, the musical director for the Kelly Clarkson Show.

Colorado is taking a major step toward protecting students with disabilities. SB26-125 would strengthen disability rights in public schools by giving families faster ways to report violations, increasing accountability for schools, and reinforcing protections for students with IEPs and 504 Plans.

If signed into law, the bill would help ensure students with disabilities have equal access to classrooms, activities, accommodations, and support across Colorado schools. ♿📚✨

Jared Polis needs to sign this bill, so our schools can further implement more services and rights to disabled children!

“Everyone is a little Autistic” is the ablest equivalent of the phrase “I don’t see color”.

Neurotypicals may mean well when they say it, but just like how the phrase “I don’t see color” minimizes and dismisses the struggles people of color go through, saying “Everyone is a little autistic” or phrases similar to that diminish and minimize the real struggles autistic people face.

@jahsuncollier did a great job of explaining this in the video below.

What many people don’t understand about autism, is that how it presents to you depends strongly on environment and culture. Why autism seemingly presents differently in women and girls, is not because of ”biological differencies”. It’s because of the patriarcal culture.
