I'm an adult autistic person, and this is where I write about autism.
I write because, since I began learning about autism, I have found a distressing amount of malicious misinformation, egoistic experts, superficial stereotypes, unprofessional professionals, perplexed parents, callous cruelty and obscene over-generalisations. I hope to do my part in correcting this; in making the world a better place for my kind.

On the evening of Wednesday, June 18th 2008, the Swedish Parliament passed a law that makes the surveillance apparatus of East Germany pale in comparison.
It was passed despite significant protests and despite almost no support among the general population.
It was rushed through as quickly as possible using every possible loophole in the legislative process.
A single Parliament member in the dominant party block dared to dissent. The rest are cowards and traitors and must never be re-elected ever again.
This site is black in support of the nationwide mourning of the death of free speech in Sweden.
This text was written by a friend who still believe that it's possible to make a change for the better.
Please read it.
...and pass it on.
Unless specifically noted, my writings reflect my personal views, thoughts and opinions. I do not claim to speak for anyone but myself. That doesn't mean I won't report what others are saying, but I will not claim to speak for them.
It is quite likely that various other people, autistic or not, will agree with what I write. This simply means that we agree on some points. It does not make me their spokesperson. Also, while I do report the opinions of others, what you get are my views of these opinions.
On this site, I link to a lot of other places relevant to whatever topic is being addressed. Merely linking to a site does not mean I agree with everything, or for that matter anything at all, of what they are saying. If I agree or disagree with something, I will usually say so. If I haven't said anything, you may not assume what my stance is.
You are, however, quite welcome to ask.
