RFK Jr & Autism: Medical concern? Eugenics with a fig leaf? When did "helping autistic children" become code for "let the weak die off"? I wrote a manifesto months ago predicting this moment. This ain't about Tylenol. But who gets to exist. youtu.be/Nau5-ibjtKU

The wrong politics? The wrong color? The wrong NEUROTYPE? This is a bad time to be different. #ActuallyAutistic youtu.be/Ly2N-stBBU4?...

Get as many hostages back as possible right now... to save Netanyahu's ass. Claim a crisis... to provide Gazan civil war. Claim saviorhood & send in troops... to justify continued extermination. That's my fear. Not prediction. But my deep fear. your thoughts? www.perplexity.ai/search/get-a...

Honestly, I hope for the best. Fighting the fear. Stay safe. Stay weird. Stay fierce. #NoKingsInAmerica #Neurodivergent #ActuallAutistic

About 400 or 500 in two different sites in Bedford, Indiana. About 13,000 population. Not bad. #NoKings

@johnnyprofane1.bsky.social's work always makes me sit up and take notice. This is crucial stuff. Please give him a listen and a share, if you are of a mind to. It's important. youtu.be/gJPo0jx0gbA?...

I'm 72. And autistic as fuck. Born 1953. Autistic day 1. And I'm not even close to alone. Not even the oldest... But working on it. #ActuallyAutistic

Caption anyone? .

I am begging people to please seek out Autistic voices if you want to learn about autism. You will find that rather than wanting our lives to be prevented or cured, we want appropriate supports for ALL Autistic people (including those with intellectual disability and other co-occurring conditions).

I'm 67 and autistic. They're talking garbage. Don't believe it.

@seckennedy.govpeeps.us I'm 72. Not part of any epidemic... Just #ActuallyAutistic... since 1953. Long before my first Tylenol. Or my mom's, for that matter. .

@johnnyprofane1.bsky.social, shall you and I and your readers/listeners who're part of this demographic go school these clueless pieces of work?!? We exist. We're just radically under diagnosed, whether it be formally tested or self diagnosis. We exist & we're not broken, or a problem to be solved!

🧵 “There… there. that smudge in the sky.” UFO Cult. Chooses Suicide. Thirty‑nine bodies in matching Nikes. A short from a live reading—faith, grief, and what families do with impossible signs. What do you think they saw in the sky? #Autism #AutisticAdult #SpokenWord 1/2

You bet! I've got your new video of the spoken word piece all cued up in my watch later folder on YouTube so I can watch it tonight when I get home from work and can give it my full attention. I know it'll be amazing! For those who missed it: youtu.be/EdX5evRMtHA?...

FYI, this account is not me. Based on their previews, I also highly suspect the autism books they’re promoting are AI - often nonsensical, repetitive, references appear to use real names but with made-up content, e.g. Hull, Mandy, & Petrides discussing quiche…

I just emailed. Thank you again! I'm very grateful for your kind offer, and for your insight and finding ways to say things I've thought for years, but could never quite express.

if it isn't clear, rfk jr. is trying to emulate bret kavanaugh by being combative and yelling at senators because he hopes trump will reward that. it also tells us that he believes his job is in danger. i don't think it's going to work this time

When someone at my work asked me to describe my husband's face, all I could come up with was he's tall and has dark hair. They clarified that they were asking about his face and the best I could come up with was 'kind'. We had been best friends for more than 30 years at that point.

How do you write about loving someone whose face you can't see? When clinical terms fail to communicate, rhythm & rhyme fill the gap. My live piece explores finding connection thru 'a swirl of flesh-colored fog.' #WritingCommunity #SpokenWord #Poetry #DisabilityPoetry #WriteSky #MentalHealth

Not remembering faces isn't being 'bad with faces.' It's navigating human connection through other senses. My live piece about loving someone you can't see. Full video: johnnyprofaneknapp.substack.com/p/living-tru... #Neurodivergent #Prosopagnosia #NeurodivergentCreatives #AutisticAdult

At 72, diagnosed autistic late, I wrote this about not seeing faces. Something 36% of us navigate daily. 'A swirl of flesh-colored fog / That's my wife's face in dreams' Full video: johnnyprofaneknapp.substack.com/p/living-tru... #ActuallyAutistic #FaceBlindness #AutisticElders #LateDialgnosis
