Autimom politics and why I don’t like Temple Grandin (and you can’t make me).

By in autism, celebrities & pop culture, mom stuff, special needs

It appears that once again, due to my nutty renegade opinions, I am in danger of having my “World’s loudest and craziest Autism Mom” card revoked.  Actually, I’ve never had any desire to carry that card in the first place, which has made me a bit of a black sheep in the “Autimom” community from [...]
