Next month is autism awareness, here is what you need to know regarding stock images that respect the autistic community:
-No Autism Speaks in any capacity, at all. None of their imagery, don’t use any SM toolkits they send you.
-DO NOT use the puzzle piece. Autistic people are not puzzles nor are they missing a puzzle piece. NO PUZZLES
-Hacks I use to represent autism (because autistic people are people) headphones to symbolize auditory sensibilities, fidgets for stimming, and family environments.

maybe multiple things happen at once
With chronic illness, it feels like your permanently floating between getting better and being too sick to do anything. You're trying to recover- but you never reach the other side. You're too sick to do a lot-but well enough to try. Society doesn't acknowledge that existence.
I just called 3 taxi companies to book a wheelchair accessible cab this evening, and they ALL refused. There are no other taxi companies to try. This is absolutely #discrimination and completely unacceptable. I am angry.
This app is my best connection to a queer community rn
At least bigots i can block without being constanly reminded of them...
