When a parent tries to kill an autistic child, people come out of the woodwork to demand those of us who say "down with that sort of thing" walk in that parent's shoes. They seem unaware that we Autistics, too, have shoes.
Kassiane Sibley gives vivid scenes from her experience of growing up autistic, dividing up time by the shoes she was wearing.
Trigger warnings: bullying, abusive parents.

This post was deleted for the following reason: This is punch-in-the-gut sort of Op/Ed thing dealing with child abuse, sexual abuse/rape, murder and disability, that also seems like it's coming out of nowhere unless one is already involved in this particular discussion already. Probably better to try this again with more context, in a way that offers more options for thoughtful discussion than rage and fury in response? Please contact us if you have questions. -- taz
