�� eg Little that Trump has done in the 1st 14 days of his administration has addressed the real & painful issues facing this country — & that's by design. You're supposed to be so overwhelmed & frightened, confused & anxious that you opt out of the process & keep your head down.
There's been a massive surge in calls and emails to my office. People are scared. People are angry. People are bewildered. 🧵

PSA: Forcing a group based on ethicity or religion to move from their home to a foreign land is part of genocide, in addition to the destruction, terror, and deaths.
BREAKING: During his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump just said he wants to remove 1.7 MILLION Palestinians from GAZA and send them to Egypt, Jordan, or other countries. This is ethnic cleansing. No wonder he just pulled the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council. This is a crime against humanity. I say this as a Jewish man with family in Israel who have repeatedly fled rocket fire.

@RealAdamHunt Not just the “disorder” term but your implication that neurodivergent people may be genetically inferior and that the natural order of things might be we get wiped away from the gene pool. It is all extremely ableist.

To clarify, @BoycottSpect10k was the main driving force behind stopping Spectrum 10K: unpaid & grueling cognitive & emotional labour. Here is a example of the activists' history: Autistic ppl have power as community. #StopSpectrum10K #BoycottSpectrum10K
Congratulations to @social_parasite and all of us in autism community who helped to #StopSpectrum10K. Today the team announced the cancellation of the study. See the report from @HopkinsVanMil and Karen Leneh Buckle and a reflective blog by @sbaroncohen.

@DrMBotha @AutismINSAR INSAR has historically been silent on political issues, even those more directly related to autism like RFK Jr. , even though some of us want it to speak up. Maybe there are fears of losing tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status.

In 1960s Kennedy family protected disabled ppl's rights & RFK called Willowbrook institution a "snake pit". Through deinstitutionalization, education for all etc. ppl w/ significant disabilities are more publicly visible. RFK Jr. falsely blames vaccines 🐍

So some ppl raised in deprived orphanages may look quasi-autistic but look a lot less so when adopted into loving homes. Innately blind children may look quasi-autistic but less so as they learn to manage partly by touch. Not same as autism, nor do approaches help us similarly.
