Thanks for joining me a few weeks back on stream @TomStheVoice, it was so much fun!
We ended up raising $800 in just over an hour with "Jake Reads Superchats" - I donated an extra 200 for an even 1k donation to @FDMorg divergentminds.org/!

It was SO much fun being on stream reading lines as Jake!
I personally really liked the message of @FDMorg, being a progressive and inclusive organization for destigmatizing autism and providing resources and classes that genuinely provide and educate :) happy to raise for it

A collaborative response to the problematic @TODAYshow article about the “war” between #ActuallyAutistic adults & #autism parents that pushed ableist narratives, erased most #PoC voices, & failed to quote even ONE person who is #AutisticWhileBlack. morenikego.com/autism-blm/
No disrespect to the #ActuallyAutistic folx quoted, but I’m choking on how white & cishet-centric this article is. Autistic PoC DO exist; autistic parents DO exist; autistic ppl w/high support needs DO exist - but as usual, we’re excluded; no one’s interested in OUR perspectives.

If it’s not a problematic t/j, I’m actually doing my dissertation on this topic & would love to connect w/others who are #ActuallyAutistic about this (#autistic burnout). If you’re willing to discuss it, pls email me: MGO@MorenikeGO.com (Anonymity guaranteed.)

A8: We need to support those who are Autistic AND parents. There are jewels of wisdom there that repeatedly get passed by to focus on what NT parents have to say about autism. The entire world needs to hear more from Autistic parents. #AutINSAR
