As an autistic person in the Charlotte area, I find this deeply offensive. I wrote about how prenatal autism diagnosis could lead to aborting kids b/c autistic (link below): pro-life people generally supported me while many disability rights people didn't.
Prenatal tests for autism are coming—and so are more abortions

Don't be this guy who is showing both his ignorance about what autism means, his ableism with the R-word etc., & his lack of Christian charity throughout.

I'm sensing a pattern... & I don't even have to use my autistic powers of pattern recognition to do so.

Whatever your opinion on @GretaThunberg's ideas, please don't attack her for being autistic. It just makes you look like a jerk & makes other autistics fearful of talking about their struggles.

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning! I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower. #aspiepower

I wrote about St. Thomas Aquinas's autistic traits in a meditation in *God Loves the Autistic Mind.* (I personally avoid diagnosing people after life, but we can talk about traits.)

Replying to @DavidPaternostr
All I’m saying is that if trains had been a thing in 13th century Paris, Aquinas would have been a train guy

Or even better, use old cry rooms as sensory friendly places for those with sensory issues: low light, low volume on the speakers, etc. make it so many more autistics can attend Mass.

The No Cry Room, a separate room in the Church for those who would prefer not to be around rambunctious children

Just for the record, this tweet is the antithesis of how we in the Church should minister to people who struggle with mental health.

Yikes. I get those for random Charities at stores but I haven't seen Autism Speaks. I grabbed some Taco Bell & when they suggested a that I round up my order to the nearest dollar, I wanted more to give it as a tip to the minimum wage worker than the "Taco Bell Foundation"
