Type "A young military man working in Afghanistan told me that" and let autocomplete do the rest.
"A young military man working in Afghanistan told me that I wasn't dialoguing to the police and the police were telling me about the police clearance thing and they said they would be a good person to play the role of Music in the current script."
QAnon says: wake up, think for yourself, do your own research and don't believe MSM.

So, between the unnamed young military man in Afghanistan and my phone's autocomplete, I seem to have the perfect kit to start QAnoning on the next level.
I need an answer to something that's been bothering me since 2006. So lemme see whether autocomplete has the solution...
"A young military man working in Afghanistan told me that the way to cure my chronic toenail infection is to be able to do these nice things for your mental health and joie de vivre during the day and the rest of the week pitched at a Grade 1 level."
Okay, so basically, indulgence in activities that induce childlike happiness is going to give me fungus-free tootsies?

This is so cool! It's freeing my mind. Soon I will be able to stop consulting my phone and the young military man, and leave bootcamp to think for myself!
OK, so... To do the QAnon Think for Yourself thing, you have to:
➡️ pick a problem,
➡️ find a pattern, and
➡️ use your own personalised scenic route for concluding that Donald Trump is the solution.

Question posted this morning on Facebook:

"My daughter is non-verbal and 5. Where do I start introducing an AAC system to her? She has a tablet so we can easily download apps. Please could anyone tell me which app would be suitable for her."

It's the wrong question, but...
It tells us about how inadequate support incl. training must be for parents of children with communication disabilities.
The mother didn't say whether or not the child has an autism diagnosis, because it was an AAC group, not an autism group (although many of the members and admins are autistic).

This is important, because the type of AAC chosen or tried must match the problem.

[THREAD] If you're an autistic activist who speaks, and you've recently joined the fight for the communication rights of nonspeaking autistic people, I want you to know that you're going to have opposition, particularly from ABA people. This thread is to help you in that fight.
Your priority shouldn't be policing person-first language and puzzle pieces, or people calling themselves 'autism moms'. Those things can wait. Your focus should be on communication access for their children. You need to SUPPORT them in getting that. They may not know it exists.
I have been in this area of advocacy for several years now, as a speaking autist advocating for nonspeakers' rights, and I am able to share some of my learning with you on what works and what doesn't. You win some, you lose some. Let's learn together.

Check your knowledge. Retweet for awareness.

For nonspeaking autistic people, good fine motor skills and coordination are rare.

Expressive facial communication, fancy dance movements -- these things are SUPER difficult for many nonspeakers because of...
The reason why I am doing this poll is because recent representations of a fictional nonspeaking autistic character in some entertainment videos doesn't take the actual problem into account at all.
This can create a huge misunderstanding of autism, because to non-autistic people, the character looks autistic, so the character informs people's picture of autism.

Someone I know in the autism industry told me they are going to be selling this social skills programme called Bridges. I had some criticisms on the surface, which I gave them, but I also want to be #AskingAutistics what your experiences have been of this. bridgessocial.com/for-profession…
Here are some of the things I said to them...
Regarding point 1, there is HEAVY criticism of that assumption in the autism world out there at the moment. Point 1 (Baron-Cohen approach) views the deficit as vesting in the autistic person alone.

This is such a common thing now. Just say there's a conspiracy, and that's evidence enough for QAnon supporters. Throw Soros into the sentence and that's verification for them.
When you ask them for REAL evidence, they go, "OMG do your own research! Don't you know how to use Google?!"
So you use Google and produce evidence to the contrary of what they say, and they move on to, "Think for yourself!"
Science communication is one of the most essential jobs in the world today. Not just, "What scientists say" or "What science says" (because many people don't trust that), but "HOW SCIENCE GETS ITS ANSWERS".

"I think if I didn’t have my loving pleasant Mom to help me through the last little while I would have been a bigger blob or mess. This is a shout out to those that give of themselves freely to let good charges shine." — Jordyn Pallett, nonspeaking autist
