More vicious ableism from none other than Brian Davison, “who went to Harvard with Obama.” This is what he got from an Ivy League degree. He’s now trying to shame me for being neurodivergent. This is how ableists try to minimize us. He didn’t succeed.

I talk about being disabled and my diagnoses to educate m, not to self-victimize. This man however, thinks he’s been victimized for being called out for publicly laughing at an autistic child, then continuing to justify his disgusting behavior for which he has no remorse. #LOSER
In the disability rights movement, we do publicly talk about our diagnoses. We feel no shame. We talk about them to educate. Until 3 years ago, I kept mine secret, because I knew people like Brian Davison would mock them and think less of me for it. I no longer feel that way
This was the guy who called kids like me a “retard” when I couldn’t read until 4th grade. He’s not become an ounce less ignorant as an adult. People like him bullied me relentlessly as a child. This is him in WaPo comments section still talking about the autistic child he mocked
