THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISMWhat Should Sex Ed for Autistic People Look Like?
Poetry At PlayBecause someone has Down syndrome, it does not lessen their worth as a person, and it does not change the fact that they are entitled to the same dignity and respect as anyone else.

AaronCalling someone an idiot or claiming there is a widespread learning disability that makes most people idiots is pretty ableist. If they're wrong, or they're jerks, that's probably the thing you should focus your commentary on.
Idiot is a slur that implies some degree of learning, intellectual, or developmental disability, and is often used to other non-disabled people by painting them as having such a disability. This cements the mental habit of treating such a disability as a form of inferiority, and of dismissing the views of those who are perceived as having such a disability. You are tearing down a whole group of marginalized people who are innocent bystanders when you use a word for them as an insult for others.
It's the slightly less offensive sibling of the r word. Please don't use it. Focus on behaviors, not abilities.

Hermey GHere are some track plans I've been refining from a couple of reference books, modified for #Nscale and #Zscale using #XtrackCad software. These #modelrailroad (s) will eventually visit those with #autism #braininjury and others with #developmentaldisability. The 3rd photo is a scale comparison, and also my first Z scale turnout, mid build. OMG This trackwork is SMALL 🧐🙂🙃
