RFK Jr. is a dangerous bigoted EUGENICIST who hates Autistic people.
He should be removed from office for a multitude of reasons including his clear discrimination against & hatred of Autistic people.
Please use the hashtag #RemoveRFK to help remove him from office.

One of the Autistic Love Languages is “I saw this and thought of you”
Some people call this “penguin pebbling”

Perfect Video …
1) Autism is a disability, especially through the lens of the Social Model of Disability.
2) While it’s perfectly cromulent to say “Autism is *my* Superpower” it’s problematic to say “Autism *is* a Superpower”

This is one of the most accurate threads on what we are trying to do with Uncanny X-Men ever.
Thank you, Mykola.
Thank you, Mykola.
I am just so appreciative that @GailSimone added four new xmen in a way that demonstrates that she understands neurodiversity as a foundation, here.
They are called “The Outliers”.
Their powers:
- “I can take it”
- hyperfocus-and-burnout
- horse girl 🐴👧 and
- *goth*

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’
You don’t ‘run the gambit.’
gamut = entire range or series
gauntlet = severe trial
Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

I bought a hammer at the garage sale for 25 cents. It’s a quarter pounder.

Many Autistic people thoroughly enjoy watching Autistic coded media and then info dumping about it to each other.
This can be a form of parallel play for many of us.

Another of the well accepted Autistic love languages is parallel play.
Parallel play means to do relatively *independent* activities *together*

Many Autists operate on “Autistic Inertia” and it only has two states.

It is a myth that all Autists are solitary by nature.
As in all things related to Autism it varies widely from person to person.
Social Autists tend to socialize in atypical ways.

Many Autists are social, just not in the Allistic way.
For example, many of us derive ineffable satisfaction from quietly observing others.

If you think you are Autistic, it’s very likely that you are.
What is confusing the issue is that you learned to blend in with everything around you, despite being radically different from the background.
Now you are having difficulty even seeing the truth about yourself.

Many Autistic ppl miss what *you* might think are obvious social cues.
Please be open and blunt with us instead of assuming we are “in the know” on non-verbal cues and subtext.

I really enjoyed the Fantastic Four movie but it's weird they had to create a villain (Galactus) instead of using someone from established FF lore.

SO INFODUMPING IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE NATURAL WAY THAT AUTISTS, YOU KNOW , AUTISTIC PEOPLE, COMMUNCATE, WE DON'T GO BACK AND FORTH RAPIDLY LIKE ALLISTICS, AS IN NON-AUTISTIC PEOPLE. WE SHARE INFORMATION IN RELATIVELY UNINTERRUPTED STREAMS. IT IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AS A
