How can people not see that billionaires simply by existing as billionaires are the enemy? The could actually use that hoarded wealth to help people, but instead they continue to take, hoard, and harm.

I had a progress meeting with my daughter's therapist recently. I commented about the patterns of sounds in her white noise machine in the waiting room. She commented that autism certainly is a inheritable trait. 😄

Why is it okay for neurotypical people to watch football matches every weekend but if an autistic person wants to watch planes every weekend this is pathologised?

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

I'm still making realizations about social interactions that left me wondering or hurt from over 30 years ago.

"You're so quiet and shy" I don't feel comfortable to unmask my autism around you.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

My take on this DEI nonsense as someone who has worked as a hiring manager and in HR support: I have seen exactly one bad hire that could be labeled a 'diversity hire', one out of thousands. I have seen over 100 'nepo' hires that were bad. DEI isn't a problem, but nepotism is.

Just a reminder that executive orders are NOT laws. Laws are passed by Congress, or by state legislatures. Executive orders aren't ruled either. Rules are issued by agencies after rulemaking processes, typically things like "notice and comment." Consult a lawyer before you comply in advance.

The autistic paradox - Where one is called weird, strange or different until they say they're autistic, then they're "too normal to be autistic"

Disobey. Do not comply. Be uncooperative. Slow everything down.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"

I've said it before: If you need semantic tricks to even remember to think of me as a human being, you are not ready to interact with me nor make any decisions that affect me.

All of the people yelling “the democrats should’ve codified the 1965 civil rights executive order 11246” are missing that Nixon did, in 1972. Trump is repealing settled law in his executive orders so that there will be lawsuits so the Supreme Court will make it the new precedent. Read a book.
