can somebody explain to me what aspie supremacism is?
heard abot this a while ago but never really understood what it actually means.
It is the attitude that the Asperger’s/HFA crowd is superior to everyone else. In its most extreme iterations, it calls us the next phase in evolution, allistic people childlike, irrational beings doomed to extinction and individuals...

What exactly is Obamacare and what does it change?

big thanks to reddit user CaspianX2 for typing all this out!
What people call “Obamacare” is actually the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. However, people were calling it “Obamacare” before everyone even hammered out what it would be. It’s a term mostly used by people who don’t like the...

Sooo…who else is voting for Obama and hasn’t told their parents…
I have a grandmother who voted for Obama and has not told two out of three of her children.

I want to get autistic people together over food in a calm, non-judgmental environment. Those that felt like speaking could discuss daily life, trivialities, or the impact of Atlanta’s public transportation issues on the disability community and what to do about it. I need to reserve meeting space in Alston this coming fall.
That could be cool.
I think so,...

This story has been making the rounds in Triangle-based social media. It’s popped up on my Facebook feed a handful of times already, but I’ve yet to see it on Twitter; I figured I’d remedy that.
SO GUYS, THIS PLACE TOTALLY HAS A FACEBOOK AND I’M PRETTY SURE WE COULD TUMBLR BOMB THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
oh my...

Anonymous asked: Hey, I was doing some research on social disabilities, mostly because I have been reading your blog, and was wondering how you felt about the accuracy of the Autism Spectrum Quotient test, whether or not it is accurate or just a load of bull. The authors cited a score of 32 or more as indicating "clinically significant levels of autistic traits". I personally scored a 33. I realize it is...

Hell, if need be, I’ll set aside the time that it is and come back into town for it. There’s just so much that I feel needs to be said that a lot of (able-bodied) people just don’t get.
I try to help mine, too. Sometimes, no one comes to educational meetings they hold for non-disabled students. I try to drum up an audience because their efforts to educate the student body are a...

PLEASE DO NOT EVER GO TO NORTHWESTERN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOR PSYCHIATRIC CARE.
My mother just got home from attempting to get my (willing) father admitted to their psychiatric care facility, and it was an entire nightmare. They had to fight for TWO DAYS to get someone to even refer them to…

Back to Work
It was easier returning from this trip than the one to Prague after my senior year of high school. I was gone several more days but left a better player. The pertinent muscles are stronger than they were when I played under seven hours a week. So little time is unimaginable now. No one rides shotgun in my car as much as the instrument I see across the table. It has paid off in recovery time. ...

“On the same day that President Obama announced relief for some of the country’s undocumented youth, Arizona Sherrif Joe Arpaio’s office detained a 6-year-old undocumented girl.”

An Agenda for Autistic Pride Day
Do something nice for yourself. Trolling bad autism organizations is never a bad thing to be doing nor is supporting good ones. So is reading or writing something educational, but today is not for those things unless they particularly fulfill you. Put down your pamphlets and arguments unless you really want to use them. Take a well-deserved break. Be truly subversive. Do something you like. ...
