-Doesn’t cover enough issues and erases people, but gets sexism right.

-Movie set in a world where gay is normal. I have some issues with it, but it’s okay. (Don’t read the comments. Both anti-gay people and people who think that anti-gay bigotry is the only oppression lurk in them.)

Restoration of upper limb movement via artificial corticospinal and musculospinal connections in a monkey with spinal cord injury

No SRS

No, I mostly don’t know what this means, aside from the fact that they might be making breakthroughs to give people upper limb movement? But if anyone does know what the medical jargon means, I hope they find this helpful.

WHY ACCEPTANCE?

What is autism acceptance?

Autism acceptance means embracing and valuing autistic people as autistic people instead of being afraid of us, having low expectations, or trying to find a way to make us not autistic.

Why should I accept autistic people?

The Americans With Disabilities Act of says “disability is a natural part of the human experience.” Autism is a natural part of the human experience, and autistic people are members of our community, citizens, friends, family members, and fellow humans. Accepting autistic people is about honoring human diversity and making sure that everyone and is included, valued, and contributing in our society.

Why should I care about autism acceptance?

1 in 88 people are autistic. You probably know an autistic person. Autism acceptance means you want us around. What does acceptance look like? Autism acceptance looks different to different people in different contexts. At its heart, autism acceptance is about accepting autistic people, instead of being afraid of us, having low expectations, or trying to find a way to make us not autistic. That might look like

• inclusive education helping your child or your friend learn to use their AAC device
• fighting stigma and stereotypes about autism and autistic people
• hiring an autistic person to work for you at the same wage as a comparable non-autistic person
• snapping your fingers instead of clapping for applause so your autistic coworker isn’t hurt by the noise
• or making sure autistic people are included and respected in your community and that your community is accessible to us.

Acceptance is not passive tolerance. Acceptance is an action. ·

Doesn’t acceptance mean no therapies, no education, no intervention, just letting my kid stay where they are forever? Isn’t acceptance passive?

No! Acceptance is not passive. Acceptance is an action. Acceptance means doing everything you can so that your autistic child will grow up into the best autistic adult they can be, supporting your autistic friends in a world that is not designed for us, and working to make our world a better, more inclusive, safer place for autistic people of all ages and abilities.

April is Autism Acceptance Month.

inadequate tw- euthanization, ableism

[link is of an image. the onion’s satire reads, ‘brain-dead teen, only capable of rolling eyes and texting, to be euthanized.’ comments under that are horrified and pissed off.]

original video- http://www.theonion.com/video/braindead-teen-only-capable-of-rolling-eyes-and-te,27225/

theinturnet:

just in case you had any faith in humanity left.

that moment you find people care about an abled person [maybe depressed, but not ‘really’ disabled by their standards] getting killed, but then they readily support your eradication.

like with the ‘hunt for the cure’ for autism. or the recent feeding tube incident. the eugenics movement of the late 1800’s, early 1900’s. or a hundred other things.

i’m just even more depressed than usual now.

[my shift key is currently freezing my comp when i use it, sorry.]

SRS: Yellow- racism, cultural appropriation

The term ‘zombie’ is culturally appropriative. Use ‘undead’ instead.
