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 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...

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...

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...
