An open letter to lawmakers

One rascal called Godwin has a law named after him. In a political argument, this law goes, the first side to compare the other to Adolf Hitler automatically loses the argument.

What autism means to me

Lately, it is as if every person and their dog is writing about what autism means to them. So I thought that I would throw in a little bit. However, I am not going to write exactly about what it means to me so much as use metaphors of exclusion.

Organisation and resistance.

Yesterday, I posted the first of two essays I wished to offer as penance for not participating in the Autistic Speaking Day exactly on time. In it, I describe the three main ways I know that a collective of people can attain freedom. In it, I explained why I would sleep better at night if autistic people as a whole “manned up” and demonstrated that they were willing to pay the “iron price”.

Prices, and their implications

Apparently November 1 was a day when we were supposed to get online and write, to demonstrate to moron curebies and the rest of the world that we can speak for ourselves thank you very much. I only found this out on my November 1, so I am late to the party. I am used to that. In lieu of my participation, I wish to present two essays. The first follows under the jump.
