(This isnโ€™t prompted by anything here - just something Iโ€™ve been thinking about for a while.)

As a member of a marginalized group, itโ€™s important for me to remember that my lived experience ends where the inside of another personโ€™s head begins.

I may guess what another person is thinking โ€” and, sometimes, I may be right โ€” but failure to recognize that very basic boundary is where advocacy runs the risk of becoming abuse, bullying, and gaslighting.

Found this magazine in my local grocery store today. OMG - this is huge progress!

Itโ€™s full of good, myth-busting stories, informed by input from autistic people and researchers/professionals who actually listen to autistic people. It even briefly (albeit carefully) explains the problems with ABA conversion therapy.

This is a game-changer. Parents and family members as well as autistic people will be reading this, and that is good for autistic kids especially!
