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.
