"Valuing people for their skills can mean overlooking their inherent value as a person—one who has every right to exist regardless of their abilities. [Yet] over-valuing certain abilities means looking down on ppl who don’t share them." @ferrousmu.bsky.social: thinkingautismguide.com/2023/02/we-n...

I'm shocked and deeply saddened to hear that Steve Silberman has died. He made such a difference to so many lives, and I have no doubt that his work will continue to do so even if he's no longer here to see that.
