#1: Autism is not a dangerous disease that needs to be cured!
#2: Autism speaks is a bad organisation that doesn’t listen to autistic people and portrays autism as a horrible disease.
#3: Most autistic people don’t want a cure.
#4: Vaccines don’t cause autism!
#5 Based on how autism works, ‘curing’ it in a live person is virtually impossible
#6 most “cures” for autism revolve around eugenics, i.e. Making sure we’re never born in the first place
#7 avoid using “functioning labels.” High-functioning is used to deny us support, low-functioning is used to deny us agency. This also goes for “mild” and “severe” autism.
#8 Forcing autistic people to behave in a way acceptable to neurotypicals that’s unnatural and often painful for us and punishing us when we don’t (often physically) is abusive. Let us be autistic in peace.
#9 if you’re looking for a good Autism-based organization to support, try Autistic Self Advocacy Network instead!
When you have to use the original meme to get a point across
Walk out. There is no such thing as a permanent record, but there is such a thing as ‘the entire administration gets sued and fired’.
I want to add again that schools are allowed to punish you for missing class to protest, but it has to be the standard punishment for missing class (as though you were missing for any other reason). If they would not normally suspend you for 3 days for missing class, then they cannot do it for this. It is a violation of your first amendment rights to punish you more harshly for protesting than for any other reason for an absence from class. [source – ACLU]
If your school is threatening you with a punishment that is beyond what would normally be given for an unexcused class absence, you should contact your local ACLU chapter. You should be able to find the standard disciplinary actions for excused and unexcused absences in your student handbook; if the punishment for protesting is different from the punishment listed in the handbook, then you need to contact that ACLU. You can find your local ACLU chapter by clicking here.
Essentially an invisible liberal arts major who runs around filming battles for the administrator. Wears shorts and graphic tees. Came out to George Takei at a Star trek convention before he came out to his parents. Is always a little out of breath. Whispers ‘what the fuck’ a lot. None of the other team members knows he even exists.
In traditional Sam fashion I’ve decided to do this at 12:30 at night so here you go
There’s two cameramen, a guy named Davey and a girl named Abe. They were best friends throughout college, working on elaborate fan projects whenever they could. Unfortunately these projects left them with little time to network so once they graduated they didn’t have their foot in any doors, despite crazy talent. So, when some construction companies out in New Mexico offered them stable jobs with good salaries, artistic freedom, and the chance to stay near their best bud, they took them without any question and immediately got in way, way over their heads.
While reporting fights back to the administrator is their primary task, it’s not what Helen hired them for. That would be the creation of propaganda and false evidence. Merc get in trouble robbing the wrong shop? Well, look at the video footage, they were never there. Local town getting a bit too curious about the loud noises coming from the gravel yards a few miles away? Produce a how it’s made style video describing the prices of gravel making, and how it’s the energy source of tomorrow! Need to send a crystal clear message to a competitor? These two know about snuff, and I’m not talking about tobacco. Of course, both Abe and Davey struggle with the morality of their new jobs, but their parents are happy, they’re both talking to nice girls around town, and the money sure is good…
So yeah, Abe and Davey, everyone. I’ve still got a few ideas about them that I might write out proper, but in the meanwhile, if you’ve got any questions about them, ask away! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve last made a character, and I’m excited.
“I’m so lucky I found you” (お前に出会えたことが辛福) uses the character 福 for good luck/blessings, which is pronounced “fuku.” So Fukumaru’s name comes specifically from the word “lucky” in Ojisama’s statement “I’m so lucky I found you.”
