I would like to be known as the
‘Mother of the House of Autism’.

“No more #QuietHands this evening. Put away that #ABA. Muffle that noise. Find your stim so the lights can dim. Sensory differences on full display!”

And yes (because, come on, you know my life is filled with stories like this), ball culture is something I have a history with. When I first came out as a young gay man and really struggling, I was taken under the wing of a house of ball (vogue) dancers. They saved my life.
Even 20 years later (wow, I just wrote that), I still collaborate on artistic endeavors with ball houses. The photos attached are of Marquis Clanton and his ball members from Baltimore (at an event we did). He’s one of my favorite artists to work with.
