tenodera

Do you think this makes 911 even more dangerous for neurodiverse people?

I'm autistic, and I spend a lot of time worrying about phrasing things just right so I get my point across. Cops terrify me, because they have expectations for eye contact and facial expressions that I do not always meet.

I think a lot about the stories of autistic people killed by police. I'm "high functioning" but that means nothing sometimes.

Elijah McClain died trying to tell the police he wasn't dangerous, he was just different. They killed him for being black and autistic.

Yeah, but it definitely didn't help.

Thanks so much for your work!
