My state, #NJ, is in full election mode until November. Primaries have started and so many democrats have thrown in their hats yet a few MAGA republicans are creeping around.

Not only is my city geared up for a new Mayor but the state opens for a new governor, of which my #jerseycity mayor is running for.

So far it’s mostly white trash party. Even the POC are touting the same issues and promises.

Yet no one wanting to squeeze in help for #autistics or single income families of disabled children.

Still, not since Clinton ran for president have I seen a candidate have a plan to help autistics.

As part of this year's #AutismAcceptanceMonth here are two lists I made for productions about #Autism and/or for #Autistics and all #Neurodivergents 1. #Movies simkl.com/6599711/list...

Neurodivergent (Movies), a lis...

April is #AutismAcceptanceMonth , we are done with #AutismAwarenessDay (April 2nd) because they're all aware already but few accepts #Autistics .

Have a fruitful & wonderful #Autism Acceptance Month to all of us! #AutisticActually

We, #autistics, must be a danger to "them." Why else are they pushing autism as a disease and trying to kill people with anti vaccinatiin views?

I kind of feel that this is a joy that only #introverts and #autistics get: everything is canceled for the rest of the day!

My hairstylist rescheduled , and I canceled driving out to the west side for this class thingy I was gonna attend.

Ahhhhhhh, back to reading and worrying about my fruit trees.

#Autism
Hopefully one day, we'll have a movie about #Neurotypicals seen from the point of view of #Autistics ! (#Neurotypicals are very strange, I tell you! )

In the meantime, there's a new movie: "The stimming pool"
I hope we can see it in Canada soon!

Autists Fuck Zuck aut Nihil!

I think many #autistics will relate to this. so many of her videos I really appreciate & connect with, which are about navigating socially. I wish I had someone like her when I was younger telling it to me straight & helping me understand the world, to appreciate my discernment. She adds in relevant scripture. It may not be for everyone, but she tells it like it is for me.

Trump administration identifying #Autism, #ADHD as "dire threats to the American people."

Underlying many of Trump's policies?

Eugenics. Against all disability.

Libertarian survival of the fittest.

Even if they don't round us up, over 80% of us #autistics are unemployed or under employed.

Killing our benefits like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, Foodstamps, Housing, etc?

Just a soft means of killing us.

#SoftGenocide is more deadly. It goes unnoticed.

An addendum:

I must honor my fear.
Fear is my guardian, my screaming siren.
Fear is the warning of annihilation that must be heeded.
I will embrace my fear and share its wisdom.
I will let it flow through me into purpose and strength.
And when we have acted, I will remember its lessons.
Where the danger once stood, we will remain.
We are stronger for having feared... and acted... together.

Most fellow #autistics seem to hate using the #phone for voice calls. I'm the opposite for the most part - if it's a long conversation. I just prefer short texts to confirm things or check on things quickly. If it's going to need me to be involved in a lengthy conversation, I'd rather talk over the phone than type a bunch of long texts. It saves me a lot of time to just have a voice conversation over the phone. I save time that I can spend doing other activities.

Yes #trans safety is crucial, but please remember #autistics. We are often without support networks and have very little in the way of resources to flee. They will come for us.

Here's my #NHS proposal. Stop locking up #Autistics to the tune of half a billion
Vote for it it is a national scandal. See below

So I've been thinking about what #KemiBadenoch said on #Autistics and #Autism and I think she just has the wrong group...

See, we need to be "building resilience" in our #MPs. I mean, being elected as a #MP once made it so you could "deal with the world," and I mean NOW you get better treatment, protections, and transport as a #MP.

I mean... "The growth of such powers of #MPs has been accompanied by an expansion of the numbers and the powers of the bureaucratic class"

I'm so drained, I only was able to do a few hours on a project. I was supposed to run earlier today but it rained. I guess back to #reading , my other recovery method.

I often get told by my wife that I need to change as I am not suitable for public presentation, or that my hair needs cutting (I am fine with this as she fills in the gaps I leave ) I don't have much of a self image, and do not give thought to this. I am body concious, but to me that is completely seperate. Do other #autistics have similar experiences? @actuallyautistic
