I don't even know how to normal, anyway

Links to discussions about autism being its own operating system, not a processing error, so I can do research for a blog post about being picked on due to being autistic.

Anyway, Emma and Ariane and Julia are my favorite autistic bloggers so far. I feel like I should start watching the episodes of "Community" that focus on Abed, because I want to know at what point Julia got sad here: http://juststimming.wordpress.com/2012/06/04/someone-who-moves-like-you/

Since I am barely a year into my own diagnosis, I am still being so careful with autist language and the particular ableism that insists autists have no real voices or self advocacy. As they said in April: "Autism Speaks And Autistics Shut Up" - and really, I look forward to the day that "Autism Speaks" is shut down and torn down, and real advocacy organizations, like ASAN and AWN, can truly be in the spotlight, rather than organizations that seek to destroy neurodivergence. Neurodivergence is awesome, by the way.
