I am sharing them because I believe these issues deserve broader public discussion.

CW: ableism, discrimination, mental health, suicidality, homelessness, and MAiD.

I am Autistic. I have a Master's degree in physics and a PhD in philosophy of physics.

I recently sent a letter to my MPP.

Dr. Coburn is a practising surgeon and her words below show the total disconnect between Ontario's Bill 60 and the reality in Ontario hospitals that sit idle and unused. It lays bare Ontario never tried to use public facilities, they just wanted to go private.

C-22 #CDB has passed the Senate. Now needs to be debated in the @OurCommons. Only 20 sitting days left. Tell your MP to prioritize the bill and pass it ASAP. #PWD can't wait.

Studies show autistic people have stronger memories of early childhood than allistics/neurotypicals

People who find out they’re autistic in adulthood were not OK before this point. I am yet to speak to a late identified autistic person - whether or not they were ever able to mask at any level - who was OK. Very far from it. Imagine being disabled and it not being recognised 😶

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives a great deal. Information about the virus is not accessible to many people in our community, but our plain language resources, in English and Spanish, are here to change that. Check them out here! https://t.co/1wUFsNBrT4

What is race? What is a social construct? What is “racism” versus “structural racism”? Our new toolkit, “What is Structural Racism?” answers these questions and more. https://t.co/QGNrRgTVRx

Would anyone be interested in a brief, science-y thread on a possible connection between autism and chronic GI issues (which often plague me and my fellow autists)? There will be links to papers and all that.

If Andre's Law passes, more New York residents cannot be sent to the JRC — a major step towards #StopTheShock. Not a New York resident? Share this call to action! We need your help to reach New York residents who can make their voices heard. https://t.co/zkxZlkK4HG

@JustRollinOn86 Raising this concern for over 10 years. In Ontario, ODSP rates have not changed appreciably since the 90’s when you could rent an apartment for $500/month. It was a mathematical certainty…almost as if it was planned. Next a study saying 28% Canadians favour MAiD for poverty
