Torah is essentially open-ended - we can find ourselves in it - and must. For autistic humans, this is even more crucial - inclusion in sacred texts helps dismantle stigma.

Disabled people tell you what will probably kill them and they’re usually right and most people don’t bother trying to help. They don’t fight for us. Won’t do a simple thing like wear a freaking mask (and in some cases won’t keep up with vaccines). I’m so angry and so damn tired.

What are some good articles or books analysing the far right tactic of pretending to be on the left?

Inclusion in spiritual communities means designing spaces where autistic, neurodivergent, disabled, queer humans don’t need to mask or hide. It’s about creating a place where everyone’s spiritual needs are honored from the start.

Unmasking in the autistic context is about rejecting who we’ve been as performers of neuronormativity. It’s about returning to who we’ve always been, hidden away for safety. It’s a form of personal teshuvah, of returning to ourselves and reconnecting with the Divine.

Neurodivergent Torah asks: How can we honor Halacha when our senses, bodies, and needs function differently from the norms? This conversation is just beginning.

To all of my queer, disabled, neurodivergent, and otherwise marginalized frum siblings out there - YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Your voice is real. And so many of us want to hear you.

Tomorrow I’m a hosting a free discussion circle for queer autistics where we will be discussing the concept of autistic masking Want to join? www.theautisticcoach.com/autism-discu...

I am so grateful for my Communist teachers.

Elon Musk isn’t a shmuck because he’s autistic. He’s a shmuck because he’s a shmuck.
