Point taken. Some grownups are more helpful than others. Even in the toughest times, helpful people can still join together and and help even more people in community with each other. #EveryoneIsMyNeighbor

I’m not the one with epilepsy in my family, but I’ve had similar exchanges about Autistic shutdowns. Why did I completely lose speech while my pulse ox reading plummeted in a medical setting? When I can talk again, I’ll explain autism. Again.

Thank you for pointing out the ick here. My son is mostly non speaking, so we can’t have standard conversations abt all this implies, but some people have used this word 2 describe him & I get what u mean. Why can’t they just say he’s stylish or has sophisticated taste w/o the presumptions?

And Bears. It’s how bears work too. I know this only bc of the Man or Bear thing, and I’ve been going out of my way to socialize more with bears. Teatime with actual bears is almost as much fun as playtime tea parties I had with teddy bears when I was a tiny human.

“Since the COVID pandemic the concept of herd immunity was misappropriated. Dr. Jeimy’s point is extremely important: Herd immunity refers towidespread vaccination of a population and that, and only that, protects us.” Doctors selling “herd immunity via mass infection” are dangerous. Report them.

If you read nothing else about Jews today, please read this. And please understand that to be a Jew in the USA right now does not = supporting authoritarians like the current PM of Israel. IMO #BibiIsBadForThe Jews and everyone else.

So much is true at once, it makes my head spin & heart break. Among them, insult Jews & I take it personally b/c I am a Jew. Insult Muslims & I take it personally, because Muslim & Jewish lives R intertwined. Also Bibi is Not Good For the Jews. ://www.lifeisasacredtext.com/a-lot-of-things-are-true/

I’m troubled by the people starting sentences with “It’s not so complicated…” It is. It’s SO complicated. I’m Jewish, but not an expert on the Middle East. Yet at every family gathering these topics came up: Zionism, Israel, individual and group attitudes toward Jews, a Palestinian state.

It would have been easy for some of you to say “I support an end to the war in Gaza and a free Palestinian state, but some of the the things people are saying at rallies I attend are hateful bigotry that calls for violence against Jews including my students and neighbors, and I don’t support that.”

This is absolutely right. I had a formal autism diagnosis myself, and thought ABA was OK for my mostly non-speaking son. After listen to autistics younger than myself who actually went through ABA, I no longer think it is OK. Self-Advocacy>Compliance #TalkToABASurvivors

I have reported all of this to Facebook/Meta, but until it’s sorted, I’d appreciate my FB friends reporting the FB profile w/ this photo below. Under one of the buttons on the upper right there's the option to report. Click “I Want to Help” and then, on the next screen, click “Hacked.”

My personal Facebook page has been hacked. The hacker has decimated my Friend list, but not before FB messaging some of my friends about some sort of cryptocurrency scam. Please do not accept friend requests from whomever is impersonating me, and do not engage with them.

I broke up with diet culture the minute I finished reading your first book. I’ve been pushing back w/ many people, especially my own doctors, ever since. When I saw my gynecologist yesterday, and she started the diet talk, I held up my hand and told her I’d answer with my own anti-diet talk.

I’m a non-attorney special ed advocate. I learned in my training at a wrightslaw.com workshop that if it’s not in writing, it didn’t happen. That strikes me as almost Talmudic. Write it in an email, on post-its, on scrolls, parchment, or chisel it into stone tablets. A traceable trail makes it real.

I knew an atheist who was anti-abortion, and yeah, there was a ton of his own not particularly religious history to unpack there.

For those who need to hear this: mentally ill folks are fully capable of doing brave, heroic, caring, loving acts. Having a psychiatric disability doesn’t necessarily prevent you from being in solidarity with other human beings. Also, it’s fucked up to assume you know someone’s mental state.

This. I was raised to hate what were cardboard cutouts of humans called “Arabs,” with no regard 4 their faith, culture, history, all that makes people human. We must stop merely talking among ourselves and affirm the reality of of lives different from ours. #RealJewishValues=#RealHumanValues

The problem 4 the #profoundautism parents has, I think, less to do w/ their autistic kids & more to do the parents’ own rigid, unimaginative expectations. My mostly non-speaking son lights up every room he enters, is kind & attracts kind people. I consider him a successful human.

The entitlement of the #profoundautism parents is breathtaking. Assuming the “good life” they expected didn’t include a significantly disabled child, I suspect these parents would tantrum over ivy league schools that didn’t accept their kids. (1/2)
