Belated Autism Awaremess Day Post

[sunlit_music]

Hey all,

Some links on autism and gay autistic people dealing with their autism here: http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2009/04/autism-awareness-day-april-2nd-2009.html

The links in the above link celebrate difference and show videos by homosexual autistic people, who experience double oppression. I found these quotes from one of the videos striking:

-  "Don't fix me, I'm not broken"

-  "Being unable to speak is not the same as having nothing to say"

This is a late post for Autism Awareness Day (which was on April 2nd).

That's a fascinating subject. Thanks for the links. I haven't watched the videos yet but I read one of the essays.
