"This is because when disabled people are missing from decision-making tables, governments make decisions they would never survive themselves. They cut disability supports because they have never relied on them. They build inaccessible housing because stairs have never excluded them. They underfund healthcare because they can often buy private alternatives...."

Dreamspace Lantern for 2/2/2026: Embrace Resistance: Every Act Matters
The recent "Resistance Week" highlights the silent yet impactful efforts of disabled activists who provided mutual aid during winter storms, addressing food insecurity and unemployment disparities. It emphasizes the importance of accessible resources and diverse forms of resistance, encouraging collective action and awareness of barriers faced by disabled communities. Every act, big or small, contributes to transformative change.https://dreamspacestudio.net/dreamspace-lantern-for-2-2-2026-embrace-resistance-every-act-matters/

What would colonised nations like to be called? Has anyone asked them? Do they want to be grouped as one? Who benefits from colonial-imposed classifications?

Heute ist der Internationale Tag der Menschen mit Behinderung und ich denke an mein jüngeres Ich. An einen jungen Menschen, dem niemand zutraute, jemals sichtbar zu sein. Der ohne Vorbilder aufwuchs, in einer Welt, die behinderte Leben klein hält.⬇️

@raventhesciencemaven
I'm not sure that I like this idea. I mean, I do agree that science communication is important, and that we need a lot more of it. However, not everyone is really capable of effective science communication no matter how much education you give them. I'm thinking in particular of some autistic and other neurodivergent people who may have trouble with this. Some of them may be able to communicate effectively if given appropriate accommodations, but I don't know if all can, or even if all would want to. So to deny these people a degree simply based on this I think would not only be unfair, but also a disservice to the scientific community by denying their ability to contribute.So I would have to see the specifics of such a policy and how it handles situations like this before I could agree to support it. Also, I think that it would be vital for members of the neurodivergent community to be heard regarding their thoughts on it as well.

I am autistic and have other disabilities. And like many, life has been shaped by exclusion, by being told I had to prove my worth and being treated as if my differences were flaws. That is why Donald Trump’s recent claim has cut so deeply. He said that autism could be prevented if mothers avoided paracetamol in pregnancy.
This is not true, and there is no credible scientific evidence that paracetamol causes autism. In Australia, the Therapeutic Goods Administration has said paracetamol is safe in pregnancy when used correctly. Autism Awareness Australia has stated there is no single cause of autism, and the Queensland Brain Institute has explained that autism arises from a complex mix of genetics and environment, not from one factor or one drug. These are facts.
What disturbs me most is the falsehood and the message underneath it. It suggests autistic people are broken and need fixing. It says our lives should have been avoided. This reflects the medical model of disability at its harshest: treating people as conditions, as deficits, as problems to be eliminated. I have lived with that view pressed on me from many directions. In classrooms where teachers assumed I could not learn. In communities that treated access as optional. In workplaces that demanded I change rather than the environment. These words from Trump echo every time I was told that I was less.
When I think of these remarks, I think of autistic children who will grow up hearing that they should not exist. I think of parents who will carry guilt, believing they did something wrong. I think of how easily this same logic spreads to every disability. If autism can be framed as awful, so can blindness, deafness, mobility impairments, or mental illness. This is the danger.
These ideas do not stay in speeches. They shape policies, schools, healthcare, and workplaces. They decide whether disabled people are offered jobs or whether society sees us as worth investing in. If disability is framed as a burden, exclusion is normalised. If it is framed as a tragedy, pity replaces equality. If it is framed as preventable, our very existence is questioned.
I want to say clearly that autism is not a disease and does not need to be cured. Autism is part of human diversity. Autistic people bring creativity, honesty, focus, persistence, depth, and community. We are musicians, writers, carers, scientists, leaders, neighbours, friends. Our lives are meaningful. Our contributions are real. We are not mistakes.
In fact, the autistic scholar Dr Damian Milton speaks of the “double empathy problem,” which reframes autism not as a lack, but as a difference in communication between autistic and non-autistic people. Autism is not the absence of humanity, but a different way of being human. That reframing is what society needs, not rhetoric that blames mothers or devalues children.
I also know this is not only about the United States. Here in Australia, we face our own battles with underfunded systems, with access treated as optional, with stereotypes that devalue our lives. Harmful ideas spread quickly across borders, and when a leader with influence speaks them, they ripple out everywhere.
So let us be clear. Autism cannot be prevented by avoiding paracetamol. What must be prevented is the harm caused by words that tell disabled people they are less. We deserve respect, dignity, access, and a fulfilling life. That is not optional. That is not negotiable.
To every autistic person: you are not broken. You are not a problem. You are worthy as you are. To parents: do not carry guilt. Carry pride in your children and the richness they bring.
We must confront misinformation. We must resist the medical model when it reduces us to conditions. We must insist on the truth: barriers come not from our neurology or bodies, but from inaccessible environments and prejudice. Autism is not something to be eliminated. It is something to be understood, respected, and embraced.

The Mayor's Committee on Disability used to represent the #disability community in Santa Fe following the principles of "Nothing About Us Without Us." By breaking basic advisory committee protocol and the installation of state connected members while letting disabled members' representation lapse without process, the nature of the committee and basic democratic process and transparency takes another troubling turn in #SantaFe. #Access #Transparency #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #NM #NewMexico

Silencing Vulnerable Communities
I never thought this possible, though it doesn’t come as a surprise. A city that likes to think of itself as forward leaning and progressive, silences the disabled community. The Mayor’s Committee on Disability is a citizen advisory committee that represents the issues and concerns of said community to the city. They also advise on compliance to the ADA and basic inclusion. Why would city leadership want to silence community voice?

Conducting the ‘broken orchestra’ of my life means surviving chronic pain, systemic neglect, and endless paperwork, while being told I’m ‘too complex’ for help.
My new piece on Medium is a call for true inclusion and understanding.

"Our message to the public is to find out where the consultation events are, go along, and if they won’t let you in to talk about all the issues then try and shut it down, because they are an absolute sham."
Being housebound, I couldn't do this. I'm grateful to those who do.

I am hosting a race and documentary to spread awareness against ABA in November.

Benevolent Ableism is a very real growing problem around ABA and it's infringing of autism/human rights these days....

This #AutismAcceptanceMonth, I'm lighting up my website and Mastodon server *red* in support of the #RedInstead movement – a movement by and for #ActuallyAutistic people to celebrate #Autism and to counter Autism Speaks' "light it up blue" campaign.
Autism Speaks is a horrible organisation that abuses and speaks over autistic people. Let's counter their blue lights, puzzle pieces, and ableist "defecit" propaganda. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs!
