@MsYingling (and then there's the question of the kind of harmful content you might find in older books. though, as we've all discussed previously, you can also find things like racisrt sterotypes in popular books being published today)
@MsYingling ...but there can be space for older books that still stand the test of time as well - they just aren't the priority (though are often what parents ask for!)
@NotAgainBen (also idk if you've seen, but I DM'd you about doing an event in my library after we chatted at the GWART launch last week... I'm sure you're super busy, but it would be great to take advantage of a rare events budget to book you in)
Like I want to be here. You're mostly all great. But I am not habdling the world well when I'm *not* engrossed in this darkest and most ridiculous timeline, so...
The idea that #StopSpectrum10K comes from some uninformed, frightened autistic people (not that such fear should be ignored, either) is a lie.
Autistic professionals, scientists and researchers, autistics with PhDs in relevant areas, are all also expressing concern.
