So I joined the MCAS club. What is MCAS? Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is an immunological condition in which mast cells, a type of white blood cell, inappropriately and excessively release chemical mediators, such as histamine

Stop pathologizing ND kids play: Potato lines up her toy vehicles and put plushies inside. A bcba would be freaking out bc they are lined up. Oh no! /sarcasm Let the kids play.

I found the first pendent i bought. I was cleaning out my bathroom and I found this. It made me proud of who I am and what I will not tolerate. I am happy this isn’t lost, makes me a little emotional. Once again, gender has been canceled 😆 #nonbinary #queer #transition #transgenderawareness

She came to our small town in upstate NY, unfortunately I was working but my husband went. He was not able to get inside. There were over 1 million people registered. She came outside and addressed the people who could not make it inside the small theatre. That made me so happy to hear.

In case anyone needs to know or is in the dark: Ivermectin is not an antiviral It’s an anti parasitic used in veterinary medicine mostly and in very few human applications. Stop spreading pseudoscience www.fda.gov/consumers/co...

I know the campaigners well .. Emma from @aimautistic.bsky.social @avivaseigler.com @melissaeaton.bsky.social Who have worked for years to stop so called #autism therapies and people who are Quack anti science Who were and are abusing #Autistic children & young people In one article 2/

@the-independent.com Just curious why your reporter Jared decided to ignore the 3 main campaigners who are responsible for reporting this bleacher & why you went to the NAS instead when they had little to do with the campaign ?? #Autistic 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

So sorry for my absence. I lost 3 supported people in the last 3 months and not coping well. 2 of them i was extremely close with. Like i do, i make sure everyone else is ok and ignore myself. Don’t do that. I am trying to cope and i will be back when i can.

This is a photo I took on my way home. Daylight savings time allows me to get more of these type of photos. The way the barn, tree and the mountains look together is breathtaking. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1693...

On my way home from work and captured this. The light over the garage looked green through my camera and I love how this came out. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1693...

Being authentically you means having things you don’t care are “childish.” I went to the Habitat for Humanity restore in VT and one of the employees did tell me that he loved my froggie plush bag but I didn’t hear him. i apologized. He took a photo of Froggie Friend.

This was taken from my front porch. My oldest was complaining about the quality of their phone camera so i took my camera out and took this. I love how it came out. www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1692...

I caved and got the mill composter. We have chickens. I wanted to compost but the steps make my ND brain say no. One advantage I wasn’t anticipating. It takes all the things my pets try to get into that will harm them 😆 It’s set to automatically ground. We will see.

This was a request on the website. This was a lot and I did my research on all angles. Take care when reading avivaseigler.com/2025/03/09/a...

Accomplishment! I got all that needed to go into scrapbooks into scrapbooks! For context: i have one for each child. That’s 8 children. I didn’t have things for every child but it was a lot. Will be starting research on the blog today before we play d and d. It was a request on Cassandra Syndrome

So I saw an EDS informed specialist for my had pain and he diagnosed it right away. Story at the link in this post. avivaseigler.com/2025/02/20/w...

Finally one that is intersex inclusive

Being a Disabled DSP allows me to ensure those who lives in these homes are being treated with dignity. My employer, NY State, values my lived experience and have been able to use it to help people have more dignity. I am known as the weird one and i am more than fine with that.

When advocating/ being an activist, don’t spread yourself too thin. This is how I burnt out. I just took on autism as a whole. I am concentrating on quackery. This is better for my mental health. I hope to be blogging again soon.

Last bnai mitzvah for at least 2 years so we get our year to breath! 6 down, 2 to go. Seeker and Potato are left. Remember living as your true self is a form of resistance. My disabled kids all became bnai mitzvot. They are part of resistance without being recruited.

Here is an article that explains the freeze on federal funding. What is effected and what isnt. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/fed...

Deaf tip: If you wear behind the ear hearing aids you know it’s a pain in the butt to keep those tubes clean. Even with the tools they give you. At work I tried a pipe cleaner. An arts and crafts pipe cleaner. Best thing that i ever used! #Deaf #DeafHacks

Things are settling down here in my personal life. I will try to post here more. Resist and be a menace. I moved away from Florida as a queer Jew and am under the protection of NY state. If you are a menace to the current administration, I want to hear about it

Remember, the only way to change injustice is with resistance. Don’t take mistreatment because that is what’s most popular. As soon as the executive order was announced, I renewed my passport with the correct gender marker. This is before the department of state could catch up.

All my trans/nonbinary/genderqueer friends : Get your passport NOW. That’s before trump’s misguided view of only 2 genders comes into play. I’m putting my paperwork in for renewal TODAY. Passports are good for 10 years and he will be out of office before it expires!

Well done Emma via @aimautistic.bsky.social @avivaseigler.com @melissaeaton.bsky.social youtu.be/Y39MBG9R2sE?...

PSA: If you repeat certain signs like hungry, it makes it a sexual sign. Do with this information as you will.

Hello new followers! For an introduction, please see my pinned post. I have been feeling a little under the weather due to an EDS flare but I will be back soon. Pleasure to meet y’all.

I have been feeling under the weather due to some side effects to hormone regulating meds. I hope to be back soon.

So starfire has EDS! I love this trend. Make us more visible. amzn.to/3B2r6lw #ehlersdanlossyndrome #teentitans #representationmatters

This is a reminder: Just because I was on the Dr Oz show, doesn’t mean In agree with what he does. I needed to reach his audience not to bleach autistics and that’s exactly what I did.

Another day, another million new people have joined Bluesky! 18M users? 🙂‍↔️ 18M friends 🙂‍↕️

Since there is an influx of people who are following me, thank you for your support! My name is Aviva, i am a NB in a hetero marriage to a wonderful ally and have 8 children. I am Jewish, AuDHD, have EDS and an activist against quackery.

I try not to get political due to my job but as an autistic DSP, I cannot stay silent on this, doing those I care about a disservice. Not only this, RFK Jr has picked Mark Grenon, one of the “arch bishops” of the bleach cult. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... #actuallyautistic #mms #quackery

After a much needed hiatus, I’m back. Finally deactivated the cesspool that is Twitter. Saw @stevehofstetter.bsky.social tonight and it was awesome. Nick didn’t break him this time with a question. Last time: what do you think of fake cures? A rant of an antivax shack in the woods followed

Since being warned by my ob gyn about my pain getting worse after going on testosterone blockers, I wondering the effect testosterone has on pain. More medical research is needed. ⁠https://fierceautie.com/2023/12/06/intersection-of-autism-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-and-polycystic-ovarian-syndrome/
