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 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...

Enough, apologize with Entrapta

 We've talked about how She-Ra gives us hope, about how Catra is a victim of multiple abuse...  Now, we'll talk abou that princess who redeemed an intergalactic conqueror with her love... That princess who, behin her ethically grey actions, hid a great desire of being apreciated with all and her diferences... Yes... Today, we'll talk about our dear Entrapta. I think she's the best Autistic rep until now. They even got an Autistic writer for her.  She is a somewhat lonely girl, a tech lover, but... she isn't that good with people.  And that's when Hordak comes along. He also feels like a failure, knowing he'll be euthanized becausae of his nerve damage. She's the first to understand what he feels like, BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN TREATED LIKE THAT. I MEAN, THEY PUT HER ON A LEASH. That's how they develop a relationship, between two souls sharing Ableist Discrimination and love for tech.  Many raise eyebrows at this relationship. They think: How could a wom...

El que calla NO siempre otorga: Sobre la intimidad forzada y tu gran afán de saber de mi vida privada

 Tw: Capacitismo, familia, autolesión, eugenesia, misoginia, ecofascismo, pedofilia, problemas del colon, mayúsculas.  He visto miles de posts de gente que va más avanzada en sus procesos de dieta Apta Para Veganos (APV), en los que se pregunta a toda la demás gente: "Oye, ¿Por qué no te cambias a dieta APV?".  Y entonces digo: "Aquí vamos de nuevo". ES POR MIS PROBLEMAS DEL COLON. Y POR MIS MEDICAMENTOS QUE NO PRETENDO MEZCLAR CON SUPLEMENTOS.  Y POR OTRAS COSAS DE LAS CUALES NO TE TIENES QUE ENTERAR FORZOSAMENTE.  Muchas veces a la gente Discapacitada se nos pide revelar información que NOS INCOMODA MUCHO REVELAR. *Las adecuaciones que necesitamos, incluyendo sus razones y si sabemos sus pros y contras. *Sobre nuestros síntomas incómodos (autolesiones, incontinencia, tics verbales) *Sobre nuestras situaciones familiares/sexuales/románticas *Sobre el origen de nuestra discapacidad, Y SI ES PREVENIBLE. Entre muuuuchas otras cosas.  Mucha gente puede venir y...
