Happy Autism Pride Day Comrades-
We are an endangered species.. with any luck we will not be aborted at the 91% rate that Down Syndrome fetuses are now aborted when Eugenics finds a way to pick us up in utero.. in the meantime.. let’s keep showing the neurotypicals how it is done.. how to keep a promise, stand by your word, have the courage of your convictions- let’s keep putting them all to shame kids.. I am so proud and happy to be in the fold-
