Medical Fascism: How Truth Is Losing to Power in American Health Policy, by @DrJenGunter https://t.co/7Uml7wOiGy

[🌟Cheshire Cat ᓚᘏᗢ, @autismsupsoc]

Every major medical institution & Autism Org:
"RFK Jr. is dangerously unfit. People literally die due to his ignorance, bad science, & Eugenic beliefs."

RFK Supporters: "But, why is it wrong to Eugenically eliminate Autistic ppl? RFK told me it's a great idea."

[Nicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @sensorystories_]

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between. We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.

@BridgetteOnX @calleymeans @SenWarren I’m autistic and I know a Nazi salute when I see one.

[Striving Autist 🌻 @StrivingAutist]

@TheBondFactor @calleymeans @SenWarren And why shouldn’t autistic people have rights?

[Striving Autist 🌻 @StrivingAutist]

@MikeDugan032748 @calleymeans @SenWarren There is no connection between vaccines and autism. This has been clearly proven time and time again.

@SenWarren This tax-paying autistic thanks you for standing with us!

@calleymeans @SenWarren We don’t need to be fixed.

A hard truth I learned as an autistic person is that it isn’t always possible to ensure that others understand you/your intentions. You can explain yourself 100 different ways and still be misunderstood. Please know that your character is not determined by others’ misperceptions.

The autistic experience of bending 80% while others bend 0%, and then being labelled rigid, difficult and demanding for not bending the other 20%.

@AutisticCallum_ Over one year later I am still recovering, and working only part time.

[Striving Autist 🌻 @StrivingAutist]

@AutisticCallum_ Autistics live on a razor edge. I left my job in July bc of discrimination + toxic mgmt. There was no alternative that could protect my physical + mental health. I am still deeply burned out + unemployed. I work in tech and discrimination is rampant. My future very uncertain.

[Striving Autist 🌻 @StrivingAutist]

@Stopworkplacebu I was told it was a "difference of opinion" and then targeted by HR. Eventually I left to protect my mental health.

Don't even try to lie to an intuitive empath.. You'll be embarrassing yourself. They know the game before it's even played. Do you agree?
