Aspergers & Autism
As time goes on, I feel more and more compelled to say, "**** 'em all" to the NT-run social media sites and whatnot. I've got a Medium account that I've had for a long time, and thanks to their oh-so-helpful algorithms, I end up with a lot of political and social justice stuff on my feed, which...

Everyday Life
I saw on an "Autism Parents" type website one time a line from an NT parent of a child with a more severe rendition of Autism that was something along the lines of "Asperger's/HFA isn't really Autism. People who supposedly have Asperger's don't know what it's like to really have Austism."...
