i played “club can’t handle me” as my dance students stretched and one girl said
“this song is SO OLD.”
i said it’s not that old, it’s from 2010.
“uh… miss paige, i was born in 2012.”
how are 10 yr olds from 2012 when i am also 10 yrs old but born in 2000

the ~10yr old was bouncing her basketball off my house (RIGHT where my head was, laying in bed). i open the window, said “hey, i’d appreciate it if u didn’t hit my house”

if your autistic child doesn’t communicate verbally, you better be supplying them with lots of other methods of communication, rather than thinking you know better and can speak for them.
every autistic person has thoughts and feelings you should listen to.

if you’re autistic but you’re comfortable in your internalized ableism, you’re not gonna like me.
my autism advocacy isn’t to accept all autistic people’s thoughts and ideas, it’s to be actively anti-ableist. this makes people uncomfortable, and i’m okay with that.

of course i meet a therapist i like who will actually help me and she goes, “you don’t have SEVERE autism where you can’t communicate, you would’ve been diagnosed with aspergers.”

Autism Speaks was not involved in the casting or production of the film, “Music.” Representation matters, and we believe autistic actors should always be given opportunities to play autistic characters.

NTs love to think we have no empathy while they’re the ones simultaneously trying to figure out how to “fix” us to being more like them & saying what a tragedy and burden we are. lmao.
I see the AIMS-2 funding from Autism $peaks, SFARI, Autistica etc is researching how to alter our brain cells so that our empathy is restored (!). ".. the loss of empathy is an important feature of autism spectrum disorders"
Sigh. No. Poll result below.

@ everyone who was ever in a classroom with me. and @ every teacher I’ve ever had. sorry I annoyed you but my brain wouldn’t stop. This tweet speaks to me directly.
You know those kids you think are annoying for correcting the teacher every time they get something wrong or a word is misspelt?
Yeah, they’re probably autistic.
Be kind to them.

it’s important to note that some people have to be internally ableist in order to survive in an ableist world, and i am not pushing to make everyone change. i just hope we create a world that is less ableist, so we can all be ourselves happily.

i get lots of responses from autistic people who disagree with me, therefore i must be wrong. none of us are wrong. but i’m working to remind you that you can still be ableist even if you are disabled, and this is what i want to change.
ableism is never okay.

So in the span of a few months,
@BuzzFeed
went from writing a story about me, an autistic person, shining a light on autism- to now villianizing autistics and pushing the “I hate my autistic kid and that’s okay” narrative. I’m appalled and extremely upset.

the actual autistic community is often divided in autistics that are comfortable expressing ableist ideas, and autistics that are working against it. we are all autistic, and all opinions matter, but some are inherently less harmful than others.

in other words some people still think being feminine is lesser than being masculine- shocking to hear women (& anyone else tbh) who has this pov still. & they say the left is brainwashed.
There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence.
It is an outright attack.
Bring back manly men.

let’s also normalize telling them they look healthy or strong when they’re not skinny bc skinny doesn’t always equal healthy/ strong & you shouldn’t just get body compliments when you’re skinny!💗💗
