Reflecting Reality: The Power of Autism Representation in Films ?? Films have the power to shape perceptions, foster empathy, and celebrate diversity. Accurate and positive portrayal of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in movies not only helps individuals on the spectrum see themselves reflected on screen but also educates and enlightens neurotypical audiences about the nuances of neurodiversity. By championing movies that respect and accurately portray ASD, we support a broader understanding and appreciation of neurodiversity, pushing society towards greater inclusivity and empathy. Let’s be the audience that demands and celebrates authentic representation. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/49Gl9Gu.

I highly recommend this 9-minute documentary film. It is the story of Lenore Skenazy from Let Grow, who taught her 9-year-old son to take the New York City subway alone. This earned her the title "America's Worst Mom" because she taught her 9-year-old independence skills. Throughout my 20+ year career, I had always seen parents and some professionals treat kids with neurodevelopmental differences (ADHD, autism) as much younger than their chronological age, denying them the opportunity to learn age-appropriate independent skills. This has taken a significant turn for the worse over the past several years. Many professionals and parents have been misled to believe that "neurodiverse affirming" means you are so compassionate towards a child you presume incompetence and protect them from experiencing any temporary discomfort. There's nothing compassionate or "neurodiverse affirming" about infantilizing a capable child and denying them the opportunity to develop independence and the self-confidence that comes from recognizing their abilities within themselves. It's the most "ableist" thing any adult could do to a child. (For those of you in "PDA" or "Low Demand Parenting" Facebook groups, please share this post in those groups. This post & documentary will be highly triggering in those groups, which those individuals need, as they're being taught to infantilize their children and prevent them from developing independence.) https://lnkd.in/g3c2NpZY

These numbers cannot, should not, be simply ignored. There is enough data and studies done to suggest a link to childhood vaccines. For me three things are obvious. One, there is a huge surge in autism starting in the late 60's. Two, we are being asked to trust the same system that brought us the whole covid fiasco. Three, this same system is compliant in many instances whereby the products given to people caused great harm, and death. My conclusion, the whole medical system, the health boards and oversight agencies are broken and must be blown up and re-established with new laws to ensure big pharma is not incharge of testing its own products, it's that it is liable for damages from said products. And that the revolving door for management between them and the Healt agencies is slammed shut permanently....it's the same old problem. Follow the money. And that problem is destroying our great institutions, and big companies, And it's gotta stop.
