| High Needs Autistic Self-Advocates is what you are trying to describe. If there are any "severe" or "low functiong" self-advocates out there, I'll be more than happy to accept and intake their voices and needs. However, I do acknowledge the fact that non-verbal and high support a... |

| People over the age of 75 shouldn't be president but Biden is better than having Trump in office. You seriously think Biden is better than Trump even with Biden's bumbles!?!?!? Its clear that Biden was just an old-grandpa puppet to "have anyone but Trump for President." How is it going no... |

| Meanwhile the US still has a blanket ban on people diagnosed with autism serving in the military while now accepting transgender men and promoting them as generals. Good for Israel to realize those rights of people with autism to recognize their full potential. Too bad that the Commander and Chief w... |

| Growing up, my parents have been ABA oriented and kind of strict in normalizing me, but I'm sure that even they would be horrified at how JRC treats children and adults with autism. Thank God I never had to go through this torture. I just got an email from ASAN urging me to call my senators to #Stop... |

It's been years since I last used this. Between then and now, I have matured and gone through so many changes and made good foundations. Being that I have autism, I decided that it's time to meet back with the biggest online autistic community.  |

They somehow went through the inlet alone and their parents told them not to do so unless there were in a bigger boat and with an adult.
