Our fight to protect student civil rights and save the Department of Education is a fight for the future of every disabled kid. As our President and CEO said in @nytimes.com, enforcing disabled students' civil rights changes their lives and expands possibilities. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...

Now is when people are showing their true colors. Did they actually care about other humans or only when it was popular to do so? Accessibility still matters. Disability inclusion still matters. Black lives still matter. Trans people still matter. Humanity still matters.

Avoid making users remember information like verification or authentication numbers. Allow users to copy and paste these things, or automatically input them when it is sent to the user through their phone. This helps people with and without cognitive disabilities.

Once again, you can buy my book to explain why Trump’s numbers about autism are just not true and he is distorting the history www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

ASAN is disappointed by the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Autistic people, the disability community, and the nation’s public health are all placed at major risk as a result of this confirmation. Full statement:

The removal of the Department of Health and Human Services Reproductive Rights site, and with it the erasure of accurate and timely info on reproductive health care, rights, and resources, is a clear attack on reproductive rights. You can find the archived site here:

Autism employment research often focuses on getting autistics into the workforce but overlooks a crucial aspect: career progression. While autistics "may find jobs, advancing to senior roles or transitioning out of work—such as into retirement—remains underexplored." crae.ioe.ac.uk/autistic-adu...

Because holidays, we're resharing our list of often non-obvious things that can cause distress for an autistic person. We hope that by highlighting such stuff you can help the autistic people in your life (or yourself) thrive during this challenging time. thinkingautismguide.com/2022/01/auti...

“what really bothers me … is there's this idea that autism is so terrible and finding something to blame on it rather than loving and accepting autistic people.” @ericmgarcia.bsky.social
