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...

What's the Social Model Of Disability? (I'M NOT "DIFFERENTLY ABLED")

"Asking for basic rights isn't too much to ask" -Diane Guerrero This is gonna be one of the most controversial articles i have ever done. But i've gotta be brave enough to do it. They asked for it in school, it's important for me and, as Pippi Longstockings said once when they asked why she walked backwards "The question is, why not?" Recently, the word "differently abled" is being introduced when talking about people who, becausse of X or Y, NEED ACOMMODATIONS. BUT I THINK IT'S AN EUPHEMISM, AND IT CAN BE EXPLAINED THRUGH THE SOCIAL MODEL OF DISABILITY. This model explains that IT'S SOCIETY WHO DISABLES US, EVEN MORE THAN OUR DIAGNOSES. AND IT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE OUR STYLE. So, what acommodations does an Autistic like me need? Basically, our sensory processing is different. Evven, with background noise, i won't be able to hear you. You gotta speak LOUD, SLOW AND CLEAR, so i can undertand you, or at lea...

Cosas que ME CAGAN de lxs doctorxs

 Literal, CADA VEZ CREO MENOS EN EL SISTEMA MÉDICO.  Honestamente hay muchas veces que hacen cosas cuestionables SIN SIQUIERA PENSARLO O SABERLO.  Me tratan como a una niña. Me interrumpen cuando quiero decir algo. Tratan de adivinar mis pensamientos y de hablar por las minorías a las que yo pertenezco y ELLOS NO. Incluso creen que debo respetar a mayorías intolerantes.  En una ocasión, yo le hablé a mi terapeuta de que me disgustaba que me hicieran ir a misa a pesar de ser pagana (pronto lo hablaré más a detalle). Ella me replicó:  "¿Si escuchaste lo de los dos sacerdotes jesuitas?" ¿Les digo la verdad? ME VALE MADRES. ME VALE MADRES QUE ASESINEN A DOS, Y SOLO DOS, MIEMBROS DE UNA RELIGIÓN QUE MASACRÓ A LA MÍA. En serio, que se jodan... Uno cosecha lo que siembra. Y ELLOS SEMBRARON UNA GRAN INTOLERANCIA HACIA OTRAS RELIGIONES. LA VENGANZA ES DULCE. EL PERDÓN SOLO AYUDA A LOS AGRESORES. JAMÁS, LO JURO POR LOS DIOSES, RESPETARÉ O PERDONARÉ A LA GENTE CRISTIANA.
