Democracy and Autism

What is the relationship between autism and a working democracy that is bound by ethics?

Everything.

Everything.

Everything.

A democracy founded on falsehoods and lies celebrates and prioritizes a select few, those who are situationally perceived as those who survived because they were the fittest.

A working democracy that is bound by ethics that is sensitive to all of its listeners’ unmet needs revises, renews, renovates policies and practices that help all people.

It anticipates the “we” in resources needed for all of us

to reach and obtain

the quality of life that “we” all deserve upon birth.

A working democracy bounded by ethics celebrates all voices, recognizes and moves the unheard voices from the sidelines to the center of our political and cultural agendas and discourse.

A working democracy bounded by ethics has everything to do with autism.

It seeks to create a system that fits us that is designed with all of our survival in mind.

Everything.

Everything.

Everything.

While I am here.

Those who produce an ego ceremony out of the stutter of another are a stutter on our democracy.
