I mean, it doesn’t mean every muslim would be ok with it, but the people I know were fine with it. No one cared when I was a student and doing it, either, except for TSA in New York City. Dark times, friend.

I have done, thanks.

Don’t be sorry, that is the very best reason to fight, to stand up for what’s right. And fuck up some nazis.

I’m a white agnostic and I’m going to wear hijab until the end of ramadan. I can’t think of anything else to do but it’s more than weeping and giving to crowdfunding.... This is beyond horrible.

I just changed my social media photos and posted this to facebook, in full view of my evangelical christian family. It’s already been shared a lot, I hope I get some bigots to destroy. I studied arabic language and history at university and travelled extensively in the middle east. I hope this is ok, I have to do…

I’m sorry, I’m so very very sorry this happened and is happening. I’m weeping. This is all so wrong. I don’t know if this is stupid, please tell me if I’m being stupid, but I had an idea.. I’m changing all my social media profile pictures to me in a hijab, with the shock/horror/rage/determination on my face. I’m…

I think figuring out the sensory triggers and having the people around you listen/understand/help/not write it off pays off huge dividends in all the other areas. As well as one’s parents being accepting. I bet he’ll do amazing things in life. <3

I have yet to run across an adult on the spectrum who hasn’t struggled hard with depression and anxiety. And so much PTSD... Life for us can be like living in a warzone, can’t it? :-/

I’m so glad for your daughter. I was a gifted child, reading (really reading) at 2, hyperlexic always, my IQ was in the 99th percentile, near perfect SAT/ACT scores, scholarships to college. I dropped out a few weeks before graduation because I couldn’t handle any of it any longer... and knew I didn’t need a degree…

Aspie here. I get what you’re saying but the use of the word “fake” sits poorly with me. If an actor spent months or years preparing for a role on screen, working to inhabit the nuances of their character with an exquisite eye to the detail of mannerisms and accent, we’d hail their efforts as high art and deep…

Yeah I’d throw a chair over that, especially if the bastards needled me about it. It irritates me how the only side of the story ever told in these cases is from the “sane” people, of course they won’t admit if they had it coming. But sometimes, when pushed and there’s no other outlets, you gotta throw a chair to…

For sure. A few centuries ago, I would have ended up being burnt at the stake. Zero doubt in my mind. I’m sure my mother has fantasized about it. She had me exorcised as a child and it took every ounce of self control I could muster not to bite the preacher and/or spit on him. I knew I’d just get in deeper shit…

“A” diagnosis makes other people feel better, they can pigeonhole the weirdo. The *right* diagnosis is of incalculable value to the person suffering.

Yes, that’s also true.

Sounds more like the female presentation of autism to me, from the article, compounded by the idiotic ideals of femininity of the age... Esp what she said refusing talk therapy, that’s literally exactly what I said when I quit doing it, myself. I’m asd and for decades lots of people told me I was…

I mean, calling out toxic masculinity can get you killed. Or worse.... It’s more than just not politically correct, it’s dangerous.

well said. I went from being ugly to pretty when I relocated highschools... It was... weird. I still don’t really believe it when people say I’m attractive but i accept it’s a thing?

omg, I’d buy tickets to see that.

I’m not a fan, I barely know who this is or care; but being mocked and pilloried far and wide from the internet to late night comedy news to international press, is not a smallest bit of criticism.... I did stupid stuff at that age and it flew under the radar because I’m not famous. I feel for her as a fellow…
