Decades of blaming moms for autism:
1960s: Refrigerator moms.
1990s: Bad parenting.
2025: Tylenol moms.
History repeats itself.
Stop blaming mothers.
Fund families, not fear.
Guess who didnāt take Tylenol during her 3 pregnancies?
Guess who has autistic children?
Autism support is suicide prevention.
Today is world suicide prevention day.
You matter. You belong here.
If youāre struggling, call 988 for help.

šØBefore misinformation starts spreading from juniorā¦
Swedenās massive study of 2.4 million children proves no causal link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism/ADHD.
Facts matter.
Just remember, they can try to silence us while we sleep, but we will be louder as we wake.

šØ Do NOT give your autistic child bleach (chlorine dioxide)ā¦.itās poison, not a cure.
New Facebook groups are popping up, pushing chlorine dioxide as a ācureā for autism. Donāt fall for it. Itās bleach. Itās dangerous. Itās illegal.

ā ļø STOP CELEBRATING MEDICAID CUTS.
You might be on it & not even know.
Medicaid isnāt always called Medicaid. It has different names in almost every state & millions are about to lose coverage without warning.

This isnāt just policy.
Itās peopleās lives.
Cheat a Medicaid application? š¤£
Tell me you havenāt been through the process without telling me.
You canāt cheat. Almost everyone I know has been denied at least 2 times, if not more. The process isnāt easy.
Keeping fighting for us, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social !
The autism diagnosis didnāt break us. It finally explained us.
Autism isnāt one-size-fits-all.
Every journey looks different, whether youāre autistic, a parent, sibling, partner, or caregiver.
You donāt get to gatekeep autism because someoneās experience doesnāt look like yours. Different doesnāt mean invalid.
This space should be about support, not shame.
Yes, and I donāt like how marginalized groups are treated.
3 reasons I regret my childrenās autism diagnosisā¦
1.

3.
I donāt.
What I do regret is the way the world treats them because of it.
The pace of learning doesnāt define a child, the support they get does. Keep showing up. Keep fighting for them.
Thanks to the Supreme Court, parents can hold schools accountable when they fail to accommodate our kids. This is a win for every child whoās ever been left behind.

just accidentally closed a browser tab Iāve been āabout to readā for 2.5 years.
Was it important? No idea.
Was it my emotional support tab? Yes.
You canāt gut Medicaid and call it reformāwhen autistic people lose care, they lose safety, support, and sometimes their lives.
Being autistic is not a disappointment āitās a message: you belong, you matter, and the world needs you exactly as you are.

Future generations will likely remember this as the most catastrophic administration in history.
May 14 is PDA Day. PDA involves intense anxiety around demands, leading to nervous system responsesānot defiance.
Support means honoring autonomy, not enforcing compliance. Itās canāt, not wonāt.
PDAers deserve respect, co-regulation, and spaces that meet their needs.

Lists our what Motherās Day might look like for moms raising neurodivergent children.
Happy Motherās Day š
Today might not look like the typical kind of celebration. It may include sensory-friendly moments, quiet routines, or simply surviving the day with patience and grace. However it unfolds, your love is powerful, your efforts are seen, and your presence means everything.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and for me, it hits painfully close to home.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know at one point they tried to blame circumcisions for causing autism?
Seems to me like they tried to blame everything except genetics at one point.
