Trigger Warning: Ableism
I should be telling you what's going on with Amanda Baggs and how they are screwing up her treatment again.
I should be telling you about how awareness and stigma helped cause that.
I should... and I don't have enough energy left to do anything more than ask that you take my word for it, and that you go yell at the hospital.
Contact the hospital:

And I can copy and paste my poem of the day, for NaPoWriMo.
Silently, invisibly,

Note For Anyone Writing About Me
Guide to Writing About Me
I don't like Autism Speaks. I'm Disabled, not differently abled, and I am an Autistic activist. Self-advocate is true, but incomplete.
