What is occurring in Fairfax VA in response to the latest scandal of a school board member using R slur is perfectly illustrative of why the mantra of disability rights movement is #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs w/a whole lot of talking over & dismissal of neurodivergent pain 1/25
I'll start w/response of activists on right. Folks who have done nothing for neurodivergent kids, were never involved w/advocacy for NDs, now feigning outrage over the use of the R slur. @AsraNomani, w/out bleeping out the slur, has disseminated the painful video far & wide 2/25
In doing so, with tens of thousands of followers, and her media influence, actually said in a tweet, that her proving the hypocrisy w/which her parent friends have dealt is why she decided to risk causing NDs further pain, all while spreading the pain for more NDs to see 3/25
