Coronavirus, Quarantine and me: tw for suicide

Ain't it funny? One second you're at school, thinking about your projects...  And another, they say *you will not come back on monday*  You don't know what will happen with those projects, or what you will do during all hat time.

Honestly, i felt relaxed. I use this time to write, and i think the experience may change me. But not everyone feels that way.

A few days ago, i read another Autistic Girl's Story. She was scared of what could happen, so *she emnded her own life before the stat of the Quarantine* Many of us are out of energy, or "spoons". We fear what everyone fears behind their fear of death: the unknown. But death was more "known" to this girl that the situations she feared living.

*Because Quarantine's not for veryone. Many poor children are wondering what they'll eat the next days, since most meal centers are closed. Many will have to be with their abusive parents, and many workers will lose the source of their income, which is really important for a society with our system.

That way, i can consider myself lucky. But every time, i see those people crying, in my dreams, and it breaks my heart. I'm writing this blog, relaxed, and without pain,  and, meanwhile, they can't control their bladders because of the immense fear they have.

*Because  this aren't vacations. It's, technically, a natural disaster. A disaster nobody was prepared for, and it will cost tons of lives. Maybe yours is at risk, and you don't even know it.

If you're non-binary, you´re at risk (you get pneumonia faster).
If you have asthma, you're at rsik
If you are an ex-smoker, you're at risk
If you've had recent surgery... you're at risk.
If you have lupus, EDS, among other illnesses, you're at risk.
If you haven't been vaccinated, you're at risk.
If you're a cancer survivor, you're at risk.*

I mean... You could think nothing will happen... But maybe it will. I don't want to scare you.  But we have to prevent.

Not only because of our loved ones... for our lives.

*Let's stay at home as much as we can. Maybe... doing so, we can get through this.  Meanwhile, hear a podcast, write a diary, research about topics you like, learn a new language, recipe, or magic trick, do some home improvement, paint your nails, write, as i do, download a pdf,  read about other disabled/autistic people, do some yoga, learn origami, download that game you wanted to try, do a personality test to get to know yourself better, see what your favourite celebrities are doing on their social media, try to grow something on your garden, make a costume, watch something on Netflix, etc... So, there's lots to do, but stay at home if you can.*

15 razones por las cuales NO debes de apoyar a Autism $peaks

Bueno... Este Post es importante... Sè que puede haber bastante polémica al contarlo... Pero es necesario. Y hoy que tengo cucharas (ya hablaremos mas adelante de ello) para contarlo, lo haré. Lastimosamente para la mayor parte de la comunidad Autista, Autism $peaks es la màs grande caridad sobre autismo en EUA. Muchos odiamos a esta "caridad". Aquí hay una lista de razones. alerta por euegnesia, filicidio, capacitismo y machismo 1. Muestran a los niños autistas como una carga para las familias, como "fantasmones" y otras analogías TERRIBLEMENTE ESTIGMATIZANTES. Ningún niño se merece que hablen  de ellos como monstros, otra analogía muy usada por esta organización. Aún los que no hablan y/o los que tienen como COMORBIDAD la discapacidad intelectual son personas y sencillamente por eso merecen respeto. 2. Usan etiquetas funcionales.  Debido a ellas, los autistas de "bajo funcionamiento" (generalmente los que no hablan o no pueden valerse por si mismos

15 Reasons to NOT support Autism $peaks.

Well... this post is important… I know it will be highly polemical… But it's necessary. And now that i've got the spoons (we'll talk about it later) to tell it, i will. Unfrtunately for the big mayority of the Autistic Community, Autism $peaks is the greatest Autism Charity in the USA. MOST OF US HATE THIS "CHARITY". And here are a few reasons you should NEVER support them. 1. They show Autistic kids as burdens to their families, as "ghosts" and other REALLY STIGMATIZING analogies. No kid deserves that kind of rethoric (they have even described us as monsters). Even non-vocalizing or COMORBIDLY intellectually disabled Autistics are people and JUST BECAUSE OF THAT deserve as much respect as EVERYONE ELSE. 2. They use functioning labels. Simply, FUNCTIONING LABELS DON'T WORK. Due to them, "low functioning" individuals (commonly those who are non-vocalizing or depend on someone due to COMORBITIES)  are pitied, while "high-functionin

Catra y como el abuso cambia a la gente (¿Le puede pasar a alguien Autista?)

 Alerta de contenido: ABUSO, VIOLACIÓN, SUICIDIO, GENOCIDIO, HOMICIDIO, GUERRA, ABANDONO, TORTURA, TRAICIÓN, MUERTE, secuestro,... Y UN CHANGO DE SPOILERS. Como ya se habrán dado cuenta, soy MEGAFAN de SPOP (She-Ra y las Princesas del Poder)(Si, soy de esas fans que van por la vida pidiendo la #SheRaMovie, ¿ok?). Y he de decir que este reboot de la serie de los 80's me fascina, ya que lidia con temas como trauma, abuso, crímenes de guerra, entre otros bastante complejos, que, para niños de 7 años (quienes ya pueden empezar a ver el show, según la clasificación de Netflix), pueden ser difíciles de detectar, y mucho más de analizar. En el artículo anterior hablé de la "cara buena" del show: Es esperanzador, sobre todo para la gente Discapacitada y LGBT+... Ahora, por más difícil que pueda ser, debo de hablar de la otra cara de la moneda: NOS MUESTRA HISTORIAS DE ABUSO, DE TRAUMA, E INCLUSO, SUTILMENTE, DE TENDENCIAS SUICIDAS/HOMICIDAS/GENOCIDAS.  Hoy hablaremos de quien yo
