Reminder that Auti$m $peak$ is an anti-autistic hate group that has zero autistic people on its board, and which focuses on the "burden" we present, and that the puzzle piece and "light it up blue" campaing are from them.
If you're looking for colors or symbols to show acceptance and support for us, please use the ones we, the autistic community, have chosen: Gold (because the chemical symbol of gold is Au), and the infinity symbol.
Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
r/relationshipadvice I asked my evil villain boss (I'm a henchman) if he'd still love me if I was a worm, and he was all like, "to me, all humans are worms" is he dodging the question?
people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway
