FASD is literally currently more common than Autism and has been always for years...and the current administration is trying to demonize the ASD community with misinformation and finding the "cause" due to it being on the rise.

Smfh.

The fact I live on a planet that people can view diversity, equity and inclusion (accessibility too) as a bad thing... is crazy to me. I'm on the wrong fkn planet. WTAF

My friend and side FASD advocate lost his daughter earlier this month. To say we are livid is an understatement. CLBC has been neglecting and abusing people with disabilities for many years. It needs to end. But not surprising when it comes to BC.

So much needs to be done in this province. #fasd

Im livid.....
RFK JR is a dangerous person talking about sending neurodivergent folks to labor camps to β€œcure” them. I can't 😭 WTH is going on. As a neurodivergent that helps many from the USA with FASD that may need these medications that can be used for depression etc...is insane.

Province pressured to bring Community Living BC back under direct government control | Globalnews.ca The B.C. General Employees Union says the Crown corporation Community Living BC is a bloated bureaucracy that wastes money that should be spent on the people who need it more.

I’m disgusted by the quotes from CLBC + Min. Malcolmson in this report from Global TV
My inbox is overrun with horrific stories happening right now all over BC involving CLBC. This must stop, I’m passing stories to former news colleagues…people’s lives are at risk.

Trump, to no surprise...blaming disabled people for an aviation tragedy is obviously unhinged but to dismiss it as the ramblings of a fool is to deny that this is exactly how eugenics and erasure of disabled folks starts. This is serious. It shouldn't be laughed off.

Fact that using FASD as a 'joke' in skits is still considered funny by millions is horrifying. This isn't just offensiveβ€”it's dehumanizing, stigmatizing, and shows how little people actually understand or care about FASD. Y'all only notice us when it's to use us as the punchline. #stigma #FASD

Not only Autism is somehow being used an excuse on this Elon salute. Many have also used my disability (FASD) to describe trump supporters. Including comedians like Bill Maher. Ya'll can πŸ–•πŸ»πŸ–•πŸ»And leave people with disabilities out of it. Thanks

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

Normalize that you don't need alcohol to have "fun"

Only drug marketed as celebration, but causes generational destruction and death situations.

Hard truth about an FASD diagnosis: Support is lacking after 51 years. You’ll face stigma, discrimination, and even doctors asking, 'What is FASD?' World won’t adapt for you, not even family or friends. FASD is the leading neurodisability, yet you're expected to educate everyone about it. #FASD

Politicians are so focused on outdated myths like 'autism and vaccines,' yet FASDβ€”more common than autism and directly caused by alcohol exposureβ€”gets zero attention. Priorities, right? πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

It is. But the system set us up in this unfortunate position from them spreading misinformation, outdated stuff that only further stigmatized our community for decades. People are extremely convinced to only stay stuck in what they knew. I run a support group, so I still help people :). Thank you!

I officially quit a while back, People that been at this for 40 years are also quitting. It shows how the world actually don't care. The amount of breaks I took just within the 3 years was alot. This is not easy work. Trust me. 🫠 It's a horror field lol
