“Can My Child Ever Learn to Speak?” Authentic Communication and Autistic Peoplehttp://www.thinkingautismguide.com/2019/01/can-my-child-ever-learn-to-speak.html"I think we have done a generation of autistic children a disservice, by saying that speech is the pinnacle of achievement. That if they can ‘use their words,’ life will be much easier for them. That people will like them more as a result. That well paid jobs will fall from the proverbial heavens into their laps.I suspect that by forcing them to communicate inauthentically, we have set some of them up for a lifetime of exhaustion and misunderstanding of autism. A world where our different use of spoken language has been seen as just more evidence of us being faulty, a minority to be erased from the future. Where we have been misunderstood as rude, as lacking in caring about others and about the world around us. Good evidence shows this is entirely mistaken for the majority. The researchers had been so keen to look at spoken words in a ‘correct’ formula that it has never occurred to them that many of us were communicating emotions and caring differently, I suspect."#ActuallyAutistic

I'm The Parent of a "Severe" Autistic Teen. I Oppose the National Council on Severe Autismhttp://www.thinkingautismguide.com/2019/01/im-parent-of-severe-autistic-teen-i.html"Until the NCSA and their ilk wise up about what their priorities should be, their kids are the ones who will suffer. The rest of us will look to autistic self-advocates for direction, and fight for change and hope after the model of autistic self-advocate Sam Crane:"We're a community that wants hope, and want support. So our first advocacy campaign back when we were entirely volunteer led tiny oganization in 2006, was against an awareness campaign that portrayed autism as the sort of dark force that was holding children for ransom. And that was sending messages like, you know, we have your child and your child will never have friends and is doomed to a life of social isolation and will never live independently. Those are messages that autistic people often do hear about their future, and we found that it really negatively affects us. We are people like everyone else. We want to believe that we have hope in our lives.""#ActuallyAutistic

http://blackautist.tumblr.com/post/176855361475/autisticliving-shoutout-to-the-black-autistic"Shoutout to the black autistic people who are in even bigger danger of police brutality than other black people due to the intersection of ableism and racism. Shout out to the black autistic people who have trouble processing verbal information, who lash out when touched, who run away from loud sounds, who are non-verbal, who have body language and stims that could be considered odd or threatening."#ActuallyAutistic 1/2
