No offense but like… why does no one but autistic people talk about the fact that Donald Trump is openly anti-autistic and anti-vaccination and when we do make posts about it they get significantly less notes than posts about the other shit Trump has said and done…

Like it’s not a competition, I understand he’s done all sorts of shitty stuff and is hateful towards huge groups of people, and all of that is important to discuss, but as autistic people it’s pretty fucking scary to see a man running for president who openly spreads hatred and misinformation about us on social media (he’s made at least one tweet straight up saying not to vaccinate your kids or they’ll “get autism”) and the lack of acknowledgement from allistics who make posts about the problems with Donald Trump is honestly really frustrating and a bit frightening…

Merry Christmas! Yesterday we raised nearly $500,000 in financial assistance for the refugee families we met during the month of December. As of now, this is enough to provide each family with about $40,000. That is a large amount for anyone, but when you are starting from zero, it is all the money in the world. These families lost everything in the war. Most have multiple children and significant medical needs, so our assistance will significantly ease the stress of starting over. Thanks so much to everyone who gave yesterday. The fundraiser will run for one more day, so anyone else who would like to donate may do so here:
