memo re: self advocate bloggers
Blogging: not actually an ADL!
Writing long-form: not actually the same as being able to have a conversation!
Writing things on your own schedule: not the same as employable!
Verbrose speech/writing: actually a symptom of ASD!
Autistic adults: once rumored to have been autistic children!
The people you’re undiagnosing: actually have issues with feeding, toileting, sleeping, self-injury, communication, and independent living!
Privilege: a word that means something!
Why does it seem like in the decade+ I’ve been involved with self-advocacy, virtually nothing has changed about people’s prejudices in this regard? Or am I just having a pessimistic day?
