I prefer reporting and never want to give it up. But one of the pieces that made me proud to be an editor was @Lollardfish’s piece we did here. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

I have said this repeatedly but probably the best thing about writing about autism is since then, I have met so many incredible #ActuallyAutistic people, parents, siblings, caregivers, researchers and others. Doing so helped me love myself and I thank them all.

I wrote a lot about academic accommodations in my book and how arduous they are. But @lollardfish hit on another aspect, they are incredibly dehumanizing. thenation.com/article/societ…
