More problems with Locuocentrism

There are Autistics who hurt themselves... Desperate mothers, put them through abusive therapies, which i've talked about here, and this is counterproducent. 

Truth is, this people have the need to communicate, as with any human being. Maybe they won't be able to communicate through speech, but, as i've said, AAC devices can quite help. so, again, we have to understand: SPEAKING IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO COMMUNICATE.

Why, then, is it presented as the only option? BECAUSE OF ORALISM, OR, AS I CALL OT, LOCUOCENTRISM. It's simply a bad case of "mayority phallacy": The mayority talks, so it's the only thing that's acceptable. But, no. Our ancestors communicated through noise, drawings, and gestures. Modern day apes use this tools also (except a few that were taught Sign Language by scientists) . Same happens with children who, like the mythical Tarzan (they DO exist), where brought up by animals... Even in Cirque Du Soleil, they talk Cirquish, a language only used in these shows... and it's art.

What is art, then? According to Cambridge, it can be any activity in which we express beautiful ideas... I suppose then, that anything your child could say... Could be art!

I've talked about presuming competence, and i believe that's what we lack, that's why  people don't believe everything communicated by any person could be art. Because, indeed, any person has something to say, even if it's in a code we don't understand. 

What i do believe is, FROM THIS MOMENT ON, WE WILL HAVE TO SCREAM , COMMUNICATE ALL OUR HEARTS FEEL, THAT MAYBE WILL SAVE HUMANITY... US, OUR REBEL YOUNG HEARTS, AND THE UNION OUR HEARTS WILL CREATE.

EVEN WHEN ANGRY PEOPLE "DESTROY" STUFF, THEY COMMUNICATE AMAZING STORIES, ABOUT REBELS WHO WON'T GIVE UP: WARRIORS WITH POWERFUL MESSAGESTO POWERFUL PEOPLE, AND THESE WARRIORS CHANGE THE WORLD. 

LET'S TURN THE TABLES: LET'S ELIMINATE LOCUOCENTRISM, AND HAVE YOUNG REBEL HEARTS.

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
