Essential reading. Judy Singer did not originate the concept of neurodiveristy, nor did she coin the term. She is, however, a virulent transphobe. (Warning for some disgusting examples of that in the article.) #neurodiversity 19thnews.org/2024/04/neurod…

' #ProfoundAutism ' lobbyists claim autistic advocates advocates deny intellectual disability. This is spin.
Autistic advocates like Julia Bascom know the problem is that those lobbyists don't treat their kids like humans UNLESS they have 'intact minds':

Missy Meredithy Lauren Melissa Ellzey (she/her) Julia Bascom I do this a lot too b/c I struggle with socializing. I just copy what other people do. They start saying shit like how I'm 1-upping people or w/e. it's like I'm just trying to fit in. Before my transition I'd unintentionally act feminine so I'd get called fag a lot too. It sucks.

.@juststimming is stepping down from leading Autistic Self Advocacy Network due to long COVID. I’ve admired her work for a long time and had the opportunity to profile her last year.
This is a loss for the movement IMO, and I hope she is able to get needed rest. 19thnews.org/2022/04/julia-…

'One of the best things [about being autistic] is I can be so happy, so enraptured about things no one else understands & so wrapped up in my own joy that, not only does it not matter that no one else shares it—but it can become contagious.' Julia Bascom
