@NicholasFerroni My first nonwhite teacher was my junior year of high school. She was the only nonwhite teacher I ever had. This whole twitter thread is disheartening.
When April ends, remember my threads. Remember what you learned. Be the future, create the world where autistic people can live to their full potential. I love you all. (10/10)
And every other autistic person can as well. Whether in academics, arts, vocational careers, or simply kindness, autistic people can and will excel if society, teachers, families, and bosses let us. (9/10)
So why does this matter? 1) It helps tremendously with research of autism’s genetic causes and 2) it means parents with an autistic child should get any future children tested as early as they can to provide them with necessary support. (7/8)
