Some supporters of Autistic Self Advocacy Network - Portland (ASAN - PDX) met at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, OMSI, for Autistic Pride Day. We wore our "posautive" tees.

Autism. Autistic community. Autistic & Deaf. Dignity. Disability Rights. Neurodiversity. Nothing About Us Without Us! Self-advocacy: taking control over one's life and the public dialogue related to one's community.
All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that. And I intend to end up there...Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking. If I could taste one sip of an answer, I could break out of this prison...I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.


Glad everyone had a good time! Sorry to have missed out this year. I started a blog here: http://autisticautonomy.blogspot.com/
