Imagine thinking that jailing Autistic people helps them. Crazy? Yet, Republican State Senator Stuart is saying that right now in Richmond!

VAYD, @equalityVAYD, and @VAYD_Teens condemn @GlennYoungkin's secret elimination of LGBTQIA+ Youth Resources.
Student Loan debt disproportionately affects disabled Americans. The Supreme Court ruling today against President Biden's forgiveness program is a slap to the face for our community.
Congrats to @AdamRizzoli for winning the race to be our next caucus chair! We will be holding a new meeting soon so we can elect a vice chair and discuss our bylaws for the upcoming year. Keep turned for the details for that!
Our next meeting is in a few minutes! Join link is below!
Thank you to @VAYD for allowing @ProtectCareVA, myself, @carollinepark, @DelegateMcQuinn, @thedrmikejones, & @VicMcKenzieJr to have such an important discussion on how we keep moving forward in the fight for affordable AND equitable health care at their annual convention!
Entrepreneurship needs to be more accessible to people with disabilities.
People with disabilities or chronic illnesses have unique needs. This gift guide offers some holiday gift ideas for your shopping list. wapo.st/3OPOuoW
Abortion rights. The right to contraception. The right to marry the person you love. These and more are at risk in these midterm elections.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their voice on tonight’s virtual roundtable for #VAPOTSAwareness Month and to the legislators who attended in support @JennMcClellanVA @DelDawnAdamsVA @VVforDelegate @mikemullin4VA
Hey @GovernorVA, do you see how easy it is to light up things for awareness months?
Hey @GovernorVA, do you see how easy it is to light up things for awareness months?
People with disabilities do belong in office actually.
Fyi. @JohnFetterman won’t see your horrible remarks, but your disabled family and friends will. Disabled people can and do serve in public office. #disappointed
FYI: + kids do get significantly sick with COVID + Covid does spread at school + it’s taken all my family about 12-24 hours from symptom onset to test positive and the first symptom was sneezing + if you think your kid is “getting a cold” test them. Keep them home. Test again.
Earlier this year, President @JoeBiden signed two executive orders to protect access to abortion care, the right to contraception, and the safety of providers and clinics. We are protecting access to reproductive health care for women across the country.
Access for and accommodation of disabled people are not extras. They are doing what you’re supposed to do to remedy inequity and discrimination.
October is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) Awareness Month in Virginia. POTS disproportionately affects women, especially women of color. An estimated 1-3 million Americans have POTS. Today and every day, we lift them up. #VAPOTSAwareness
October is #vapotsawarenessmonth. To those who are struggling with POTS and its day-to-day burdens -- I'm sending you love today and every day. 💙
Hey #DisabilityTwitter! Does anyone know disabled foragers, gardeners, or farmers? 🥬🌽🍄 Brainstorming on a project! Send me any names or links in the replies. Thank you!! #JournoRequest #SourceRequest

RTs ≠ endorsement.Support services for autistic individuals is severely limited after they exit the K12 system. Most services are provided Community Services Board. The commonwealth as a whole is underfunded when it comes to behavioral health services.
Sen Stuart over and over suggests how important it is for autistic people to get arrested and charged and caught up in the criminal justice system so that they can get the help they need (and then have the charges dismissed). What a screwed up world we live in.
There's always gotta be that ONE guy right? This is the vote on whether to extend curbside voting for people with disabilities to people with non-physical disabilities upon request. (Because for some ppl w developmental disabilities, the polling place can be overwhelming.)
This can't be real...can it?

@Robingnj @vaplan2018 @LauraJaneCohen Welcome to my life (sighs in disabled college student)
@vaplan2018 @LauraJaneCohen I cannot understand why people would not support the ability to have the same documentation used in k-12 to move with the student to college.
@BreRVA @LauraJaneCohen Like what is it like inside their heads? Just constantly assuming the worst of every person and dreaming up ridiculous scenarios of fraud/abuse of the system.
@vaplan2018 @LauraJaneCohen Yeah... I'm used to it as a disabled advocate. The great thing was seeing @LauraJaneCohen deconstruct the "support donkey" nonsense and use their experience as an educator to defend disabled students.
@AdamRizzoli @LauraJaneCohen I'm so sorry you had to be there bravely testifying and be treated like that. Disgraceful.
@vaplan2018 @LauraJaneCohen Yeah, I was there (and the witness he was referring to). I feel like "support donkeys" are just another way of throwing attacks to see what sticks.
Sometimes I just...{sigh} Here's Del Garrett and Del Zehr worrying about students with an "emotional support donkey" at their universities if this bill from @LauraJaneCohen to allow high school documentation on disabilities to be used in accessing university services passes.
The criminal justice system is not a blanket vehicle for connecting people with services. It can (and should!) do that in lieu of punishment in some cases, but we shouldn't take people who are not blameworthy and put them through the system just so we can help them afterwards.
Sen Stuart over and over suggests how important it is for autistic people to get arrested and charged and caught up in the criminal justice system so that they can get the help they need (and then have the charges dismissed). What a screwed up world we live in.
@vaplan2018 They should be ashamed of themselves for clearly trying to intimidate moms advocating for safer gun laws. That was ridiculous & infuriating to listen to 🤬 Research & evidence based statistics are exactly what we should be basing legislation on not what people believe 🙄
@vaplan2018 is there a way to get video of this? i would love to clip this bit

This literally happened to me and when I tell you I have never psychologically recovered; some of our politicians are living out their evil villain dreams

So far today, Virginia Republicans suggested that people with autism should be arrested and have harassed their constituents testifying in Richmond. Disgusting.
