1 jaar op de wachtlijst gestaan voor een WMO, en nog eens zes maanden om ze ervan te overtuigen me door te verwijzen naar een autismespecialist ipv een "lifecoach" die "acceptatie" voorstelt voor mijn executieve disfunctioneren problemen. Vorige week eindelijk goedgekeurd. Nu dit. Joepie.🙄
🧑⚕️👩⚕️🤕Dit kabinet keert zich tegen mantelzorgers die zich al keihard onbetaald inzetten voor ons. Door de eigen bijdrage te verhogen voor chronisch zieken van €21 per maand naar €3936 per jaar. Niks geen eigen risico "nu" afschaffen dus.

Hi Stephanie, just wanted to thank you for writing your book. I count it among the most important books I've ever read. I can imagine the enormous courage it takes to share your trauma like that. I hope that writing it was healing and that you've received nothing but kind feedback for it ❤️
There is zero space between RFK Jr’s stance on disabled people and Mengele. That he is in the position he’s in is an abomination and a stain on our country. I hate every person responsible for it.
"Tesla Inc. employs an odometer system that utilizes predictive algorithms, energy consumption metrics, and driver behavior multipliers that manipulate and misrepresent the actual mileage travelled by Tesla vehicles," reads the lawsuit. "In so doing, Defendants can, and do, accelerate the rate of depreciation of the value of Tesla vehicles and also the expiration of Tesla vehicle warranties to reduce or avoid responsibility for contractually required repairs as well as increase the purchase of its extended warranty policy."
It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service
Just incredible grift
This book was absolutely life-changing for me. Although it was sometimes triggering, I can't emphasize enough how important it was for me to read it.
Police violence against neurodivergent and disabled people is a pervasive and systemic problem. We collect resources on our page “The Cult of Compliance and the Policing of the Norm”.

This Autistic Acceptance Month, can you accept that studies continue to suggest shocking rates of suicidal ideation and deaths by suicide across all populations of Autistic people?
Did I raise your "awareness"? #AutRes
Loved this, “FREE” always tastes so good…

Oh that's a good point. We never get the whole story from mainstream media.
It's comparable to the "epidemic" of left-handed people that sprung up once right-handedness stopped being the only socially acceptable standard. Then the rates plateaued and we now know how many people are truly left- or right-handed.
The bipartisan SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act would ensure the millions of disabled and older Americans who receive #SSI are no longer punished for saving. It’s time to #UpdateSSI & #DemolishDisabledPoverty!
Their heads are wide, and their eyes are lidless. Their limbs are underdeveloped and possess long, thin digits.

Definitely writing, but I'm also not super great at that either. I struggle to identify or express the core sentiment. And I'm extremely long-winded. At least I never struggled to hit a word count for a writing assignment.
That's probably why I got a level 2 dx on the communication side ☠️
Post by @soit_goes: "ICE has taken 35 of 2,000 people they were trying to deport into custody. They are blaming community defense efforts for their lack of success. Keep it up y'all."
Ann gives us a great breakdown & reminds us all - sample selection *matters*
data does no good w/o a clear understanding of who is represented
Autism research populations are sliced a thousand ways & any 1 study omits SO many of us. Cumulative review is how themes emerge & we have to be clear.
Actually, yeah. My home internet has been slow and cutting out here and there. It only stood out because it's normally extremely stable.
Oh, so that's why I've barely heard a thing about it.
It's because he's a malignant narcissist.
That's how all the wealthy do it. The system is designed to be milked that way. Having little liquid is part of how they cheat the tax system.
And most of the rest of the world have *no idea* just how bad it is.
Having emigrated from the US quite awhile ago, I can't emphasize enough to people how absolutely fucked the media is in the US. Right and left receive completely different "facts" from their media, and have no idea the other side is hearing a different story. Both sides are heavily propagandized.
They're clearly an alt-right antagonist. Ten bucks says they'll do something like claim to need workplace litterbox accommodations because they're furry-gendered or whatever they claim we all do.
Call your grandparents — they might not get their Social Security payment this month.
