Creator of Autcraft, the first Minecraft server for autistic children and their families. I am autistic, my oldest son is autistic. I just try to help.

"Every person deserves to be treated with dignity" is a very harmful thing to say to someone when it's followed by a very clear lack of dignity towards you because of who you are.

Minecraft's update enforces UK law for age verification, but I'm in Canada. Still though, I couldn't use the chat on my own server, also in Canada, until I went to the UK page to try to verify my age only to have it tell me that I don't have to and THEN it let me chat. Brilliant.

"My mom said to me that gayness is really bad" This is what one young player told another young player on Autcraft today. Parents... please don't teach your children to hate. Whatever you want to do, that's on you, but please don't raise your children to hate people.

When you see "facts" being shared on big social media accounts, remember, not only did they not fact check, they likely made stuff up, even the images. Below is the real photo I sent to @cbcnews.ca and the other two are AI generated images that social media accounts made from it.

Annual Halloween reminder: If someone comes to your door for candy, give them some. It doesn't matter what age they are, what they look like, if they have a costume, if they can say "trick or treat" or not... give them candy. Don't judge. Be kind. Make them happy.

"Kids don't need safe spaces. They need to face the real world." says the tough guy in his khakis, beer in hand, at the BBQ, surrounded by his best buds, with whom he can share things that he doesn't feel safe talking to anyone else about.

"There was no autism in my day." Sure there was but back then you called people the r-word, slow, unfocused, anti-social, weird, freak, or any number of other derogatory terms. Or you just didn't see them at all because they were separated off into other classes or institutions.

I decided to write a bit today about why I, as an autistic person, have a unique appreciation for KPop Demon Hunters. I, too, have tried to hide my patterns and the colors in my head. My demons are a part of me and I need to accept that. www.facebook.com/autismfather...

Regardless of what the current US administration would like you to believe, autism is NOT caused by Tylenol, which first came on the market in 1955, while autism was first described in 1911. Do NOT let this group incite fear, spread misinformation, and do NOT let them hurt you.
