Your friendly neighborhood autistic social theorist

Autistic filmmaker, scholar (UCSD), painter, cat-companion, and pumpkin artist. My expertise is in the social construction of Autism and other neurodivergencies, focusing on Foucauldian theory and the critical history of Autism, so feel free to ask me stuff!

To all the people constantly doing the whole "we just need to love each other" and "both sides are just as bad,".... putting that on PoC and other oppressed populations is the reason atrocities are still reoccurring. I've said it before and I will stick to it: moderates allow extremists. And I'm definitely a participant in that. We need to do better. #dothework

Garden yummies. These colors are legit too. The only time I'm down with bright coral next to cherry red and plum and purple and lemon yellow is when nature herself put it together. #nasturtium #ranunculus #sweetpea #jasmine #cornflower #jerusalemsage #mexicansage #snapdragon #dahlias #sandiegogarden
