post- "An Unqualified Mother’s opinion of Autism Treatments"

Hi guys, I am just a mum, I have no science experience really, and don’t claim to be an Expert in anything. I am not an Autism Expert, Dietician, I have no medical experience either. This is my advice to others, from what I have researched, in layman’s terms, as I cannot write any other way, I hope this might help some people.......

JEANETTE PURKIS: THOUGHTS ON ALL THINGS AUTISM AND MENTAL HEALTH

post- 'A day in the life of a valued, worthwhile human who happens to be Autistic..'.

I was recently asked to contribute a blog for an event challenging that oh-so-ableist and damaging group of people who call themselves Autism speaks (or as some have rebranded them, Autism $peaks). A little background…. Autism speaks starts from the premise that Autism is a ‘tragedy’. They promote ‘cures’ and basically serve to negate pretty much everything advocates like myself and so many others do to promote the value and humanity of Autistic folks.....

To the church of Genesis II

Chloride Dioxide

is God's pesticide

The phalse prophet

James V Humble

Knows only to lie

And should get

ready to rumble

For In his worship of Mammon

and all that is common

He peddles snake oil

to any confused soul

desperate for normalcy

To People who been told

their sexuality is a sin

and proof of a devil within

To Parents who been told

that their child is not normal

Chlorine dioxide is sold

Quack Quack the charlatan

spreads his fear

Whisper lies in the

loving parents ear

To see a mother

use Chlorine dioxide

on her special little child

Is bearing witness

to Infanticide

And just like Johnny Cash

I CRY CRY CRY

"Charlatan"

Ink and Daggars Graphic Novel Preview!!

Christine Leaming ( AKA Ink and Daggers) and will soon be publishing a Graphic Novel as MK Ultra. She is mother to a delightful toddler, an avid reader, and a "leftist social justice activist" currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Christine is self-taught, and although not a spectrumite herself, is quite immersed in the Autism World. She has spent the last decade working with autistic children and their families. Christine created this work out of a sense of responsibility to her past clients and her autistic friends, and as a way to come to terms with the way society interacts with neurodiverse and otherwise marginalized people.

"I hope that it can not only entertain, but educate those unfamiliar with life on the spectrum, as well as reflect the experiences of autistic individuals with authenticity, relatability and respect." Ink and Daggars

Here's a taste of the work in progress "Catch Point"

November 2011, Salt Lake City, Utah. Caleb Krauss, just shy of his sixteenth birthday, survives another day in a home that is in a state of continual dysfunction. Diagnosed with autism as toddlers, Caleb and his sister’s daily lives revolve around intensive therapy and biomedical interventions that their parents believe will eventually lead to a cure. Lonely and presumed incompetent, Caleb copes through his joyful obsessions, which include freight trains, Hayao Miyazaki movies, and the sweet neurotypical boy who volunteers in his special education class. But when Caleb discovers labor martyr Joe Hill and is inspired to run away from home, both his and his family’s routines and isolation become suddenly derailed.

In short, a queer, autistic, train-hopping teenager runs away from his abusive curebie family, leading to a massively misguided law enforcement investigation into his disappearance.
