For the record, there's no reason that a person with a learning disability can't be president.

How have capybaras not been added to Minecraft yet?

I see this sort of thing all the time and don't think much of it but it's pretty wild when you see it happen to you.

Out of the thousands of social media accounts (some with over 5M followers), only ONE reached out to ask me for accurate information. ONE!

When you see "facts" being shared on big social media accounts, remember, not only did they not fact check, they likely made stuff up, even the images.

Below is the real photo I sent to @cbcnews.ca and the other two are AI generated images that social media accounts made from it.

Uhh... what?

I was diagnosed as autistic at 36 years old.
I often wonder... who could I have been?

Annual Halloween reminder: If someone comes to your door for candy, give them some.

It doesn't matter what age they are, what they look like, if they have a costume, if they can say "trick or treat" or not... give them candy.

Don't judge. Be kind.
Make them happy.

"Kids don't need safe spaces. They need to face the real world." says the tough guy in his khakis, beer in hand, at the BBQ, surrounded by his best buds, with whom he can share things that he doesn't feel safe talking to anyone else about.

How exactly does this guy think autism enters the brain? And where does he think people's brains are?

"There was no autism in my day."

Sure there was but back then you called people the r-word, slow, unfocused, anti-social, weird, freak, or any number of other derogatory terms. Or you just didn't see them at all because they were separated off into other classes or institutions.

Stuart Duncan - AutismFather KPop Demon Hunters and Autism When I tell you that I felt a deep connection to Rumi when she walked out and said "The worst of what I came from, patterns that I'm ashamed of, things that even I...

I decided to write a bit today about why I, as an autistic person, have a unique appreciation for KPop Demon Hunters. I, too, have tried to hide my patterns and the colors in my head.
My demons are a part of me and I need to accept that.

I am honoured and filled with sense of imposter syndrome as I see myself being shared in an author spotlight. I am very happy to have been given a chance to contribute and share what I've done.

I think we all have the potential to change the world.

If your government is declaring war on anti-fascists, I have some bad news for you.

Many top scientists are on the autism spectrum.
So technically, autism causes Tylenol.

The only way you can blame Tylenol for being autistic is if one of your parents happens to be named Tylenol.

Do NOT let this group incite fear, spread misinformation, and do NOT let them hurt you.

Lancet retracts 12-year-old article linking autism to MMR vaccines

Claim: The MMR vaccine is linked to autism
False.
Please, we settled this 15 years ago!! The doctor who made the claim was found to have his own vaccine patent and was paid to manipulate the findings.
His findings were retracted and he lost his license.

Autism in Cuba The realities of autism in Cuba and how their resources affect individuals and families within the cultural context.

Claim: There is no autism in Cuba
False. There very much is but there's a lot of factors that makes it tough to study or get any real numbers.

Claim: Amish have no vaccines or autism
False.
Neither of these are true. Researchers found that there are less autism diagnoses but that's because they simply aren't being diagnosed, they don't recognize the signs, they don't go in for an assessment.
