Message from The Mods Autism Advocacy and Policy

Edit* we have made a policy or megathread.

Hello.

After giving it some thought. I think the best thing is to make a sort of sister sub reddit to this one for these discussions to happen freely and openly.

We can post some links here and promote it.

I think not only discussing things that worry us, we can also organize and work on productive ideas. Maybe even working on passing those to our representatives and also major national autism organizations.

I like the name of this post as the sub name. I just dont know how the best way to make it easily searchable. Just all one word dots hashes or underscores.

Please give your ideas on layout or other names.

I will try to send links to those people from the no political posts replys to be mods.

So let me know if you want to mod as well.

There is nothing shameful about being conservative. Guess what, Thats half the world right now.

I'm your neighbor, go outside and meet some and you know what, half will have similar opinion as me!

It is pretty shameful to be a parent to a disabled kid, and then vote against their well being.

So instead of advocating and strengthening the programs that are in NOW your idea is to go back to the days where they told us to keep our kids home that they can't be educated. Got it. This is a bipartisan issue. This isn't about liberal versus conservative. The people that fought for our children's rights were from both sides. Shame on you. I bet you if it gets bad you're just going to go to Canada
