Dear Alison Tepper Singer

Dear Alison Tepper Singer:
I write your name. Anyways, THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

15 years ago, in an Autism $peaks video,  you talked about THROWING YOUR CAR OVER A BRIDGE, WITH YOU AND YOUR NON-SPEAKING DAUGHTER, JODIE, INSIDE. 

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, SHE HEARD YOU. AT THE END OF THE VIDEO, MANY HEARD HER CRY. 

THE FACT THAT JODIE IS NON-SPEAKING DOESN'T MEAN SHE IS NON-UNDERSTANDING.

You'll ask yourself, then, why your daughter can't study in "normal" schools. THE TRUTH IS: SHE SHOULD, WITH THE RIGHT ACOMMODATIONS. NOT WANTING TO PROVIDE FOR HER GOES AGAINST HER RIGHTS.

MEANWHILE, YOU MAKE JODIE LOOK LIKE THE "BAD GIRL" IN THE STORY, WHEN SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT, OR THE MISTREATMENT YOU'VE DONE TO HER.

SHE WAS IN THE ROOM WITH YOU... AND YOU REVEALED EVEN HER MOST PERSONAL DATA.

YOU SAY YOU SEEK FOR HELP... AND YOU DO, OF COURSE, UNLESS IT'S FROM THE AUTISTIC COMMUNITY.

YOU COULD SAY YOU'RE IN AUTISM $PEAKS NO LONGER, BUT YOU CAN'T ERASE THIS MOMENT FROM JODIE'S HEAD. OR OURS.

YOU COULD SAY "YOU WERE TIRED"... DON'T YOU BELIEVE JODIE CAN BE EVEN MORE TIRED OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE¨? WOULD YOU LIKE HER TO TAKE HER LIFE, KNOWING YOU COULDN'T?

YOU CAN EXCUSE YOURSELF, DENY, AND TRICK YOURSELF, SAYING "IT'S NOT THAT BAD" EVEN THOUGH IT IS... BUT MANY MOTHERS, INSPIRED BY YOU, HAVE KILLED THEIR CHILDREN, WHO DIDN'T DESERVE IT. 

YOU COULD SAY "SHE WAS FIGHTING, I HEARD HER SCREAM", BUT JODIE DOESN'T FIGHT AUTISM, SHE FIGHTS YOU. EVERY BEHAVIOUR IS COMMUNICATION, AND YOUR MOTHER WISHING YOUR DEATH MUST BE SUPER TRIGGERING. 

JODIE DESERVES TO LIVE.
JODIE DESERVES LOVE.
JODIE DESERVES BETTER THAN AUTISM $PEAKS

Sincerely, Superbabe

P.S,: If Jodie or someone else is going through this, you aren't alone. THERE'S A WHOLE COMMUNITY WAITING FOR YOU.

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.
