You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That they’ll never pay taxes or write poems. That they are, in essence, collateral damage.

I’d like to introduce you to my daughter.

    my in-laws are tipping into supporting rhetoric from this administration even though all of their grandkids have been diagnosed autistic.

    they’re one bad day away from being 1000% cut out like my own family.

    my kids don’t even realize they have an uncle or cousins.

    I have no problem explaining to my kids “pepaw” and “memaw” moved away and we can’t see them ever again.
