Seeing young black men and women with their fists raised chanting “I Can’t Breathe” and “No Justice No Peace” moved me more than I can explain on this platform.#BlackLivesMatter #BlackDisabledLivesMatter #BlackAutisticLivesMatter

I was sitting in on my first #BlackLivesMatter protest today marveling at the newly discovered intersection between my advocacy and my son’s advocacy and this moment arrived. Couldn’t have been more perfectly said or placed. Made me emotional.

The damage done here to the entire disabled community cannot be understated. It is already hard to get accommodations. Disabled people already face stigma and are too often accused of faking. When people do this shit, it sets us all back in devastating & compounding ways.

If you can "Pass" also, it makes you less willing to ask for accommodations because you feel like "wait, I look and sound like my abled classmates. I don't need this stuff." And so you dismiss it. I didn't ask for accommodations at @UNC until I knew I flunked a test.

Imagine the day that science will commit to #universal, caring, real world designs decided by #autistic people, co-designed with #autistic people giving #autonomy to autistic ppl who DONT need one more science expert, behaviour expert, saviour funder, priorities survey.....

"But it's illegal!" is only a defense if you're foolish and privileged. Housing discrimination on the basis of race is illegal. It still happens. Even though it's illegal for charters and colleges to pass over disabled students, if there's an admissions process, they will.

The disclosure rate for people with disabilities in 2013 was 0.4%. In 2018 it grew to 2.6%. This is do in large part to the work companies do to acknowledge and take action to educate employees and help #breakthesilence. Formed @Diversability Think Tank #4AsTalent2030
