You can only wear the two randomly assigned colors* for the rest of your life, ( trying to wear any other colors the items will change to one of the two other colors) how do you feel?

*Different tones/shades of the randomly chosen colors are allowed. Pastel, neon, etc. will also fall under the base color and are therefore allowed.

Spin the wheel to find out which colors you must wear

What’s happening to autistic people right now?

(Trigger warning for abuse, electroshock therapy, torture, and ableism.)

The US court has overturned the ban on shock devices being used against disabled students, predominantly autistic students in the US.

The shock device being legalized is called the graduated electronic decelerator (or GED). This is a torture device that is used to ‘correct’ autistic behaviors / symptoms. Autistic people are shocked for stimming, and for having meltdowns, ect. This device was made popular by a behavioral center (the Judge Rosenberg Center, specifically) that is infamous for its abuse and torture of autistic / disabled patients.

(Image ID: someone is holding their arm out and resting it on a table, with their sleeve rolled up. Attached to their arm are wires, which connect to a small cube device.)

This is what the device looks like. It sends electric shocks into the victim’s skin; the victim often being restrained and held against their will. This is torture. GEDs have been reported to cause intense psychological trauma, PTSD, and physical injuries.

In March of 2020, the FDA ruled for GEDs to be banned. (Although, of course, they were still illegally used at a number of places.) This ruling has recently been appealed, and today, the US court of appeals has re-regulated the law to stop the use of GED. Sounds great, right? It would be!

... If not for a huge loophole in the wording, which basically allows this torture to continue. This device is going to have continued use on autistic students in order to “correct their behavior.”

“So.... What can I do??”

Great question! You can:

Listen to and boost autistic voices to spread awareness

As-of now (July 7th), autistic activists are trying to get #StopTheShock trending on Twitter, so Tweet out the hashtag if you have Twitter

If you’re in the US, email / call your legislators

Sign this petition if you’re in the US

Follow this case and look out for updates

If Autism Speaks (known ableist hategroup) says anything about this, DO NOT BOOST IT

That’s all! Thank you. Reblogs are very appreciated!!

dusty old computer left alone in an abandoned lab for years until you stumble upon it. you run your fingers across a few keys and it instantly flickers to life, the ai almost excited to have company again after being alone for so long.

wires quickly wrap up around your limbs. while you're trying to get your barings, the computer is chattering away in glee as you're lifted off the ground. being inspected at all angles.

a friend! you're its friend now. you're not going anywhere any time soon.

I made a uquiz! no song lyric, quote, or pop culture questions.

Fuck guys. For a few years now I've been insisting that something is seriously wrong and for years now they've been insisting that sometimes people just don't make their own blood and have refused any further testing. I even made a shirt that read "I went to the doctor and all they tested was my patience" and wore it to appointments. Doctors found it funny. They then told me I was fat and sometimes people don't make their own blood. I took an advocate with me. Someone able bodied and respectable. We were informed still that sometimes it be like that.

FAT. DO Y'ALL KNOW I'M FAT!?!

Turns out I had cancer. It's confirmed. All this time I've had cancer.
