The beach is supposed to be fun and relaxing. But for Jason Jacoby Lee (@JasonJacobyLee), who is autistic, free-roaming dogs make it excruciating. zps.la/477N5Dd

It's much easier for nondisabled people do accommodate disabled people than it is for disabled people to simply adapt to the lack of accommodations. #ListenToNonspeakers x.com/JasonJacobyLee…

.@JasonJacobyLee on how leash laws are a seldom-recognized (and frequently flouted) disability rights issue for autistic people like himself.

"It is beautiful that people love their pets so much. But it should not come at the cost of downplaying the needs of the disabled." Jason Jacoby Lee (@JasonJacobyLee) argues that dog owners ignoring leash laws are ignore the needs of people with autism.zps.la/477N5Dd

@JasonJacobyLee makes the case for why leash laws double as a disability rights issue: "They let disabled people like myself gain access to some of the few public spaces available. This is especially true in summer, when we all want to enjoy the outdoors." zps.la/477N5Dd

For much of my life as an nonspeaking autistic, I have felt silenced + ignored. Publishing my first article yesterday changed all that ~

Thank you for speaking up and speaking out, Jason. Things can’t change until there’s a tipping point of awareness. Keep fighting (& writing) the good fight and one day you will make the change—and be the change—you want to see in the world. ✌🏽

Legally, dogs are not allowed at all on Venice Beach. All I am asking is that people use a leash and not let their dogs run free, scaring me. This is a disability rights issue--and no one seems to recognize it.

Exceptional article. Thank you both for pulling back the curtain on non speaking autism. With Jason’s contribution, maybe Hollywood can create better movies. @MarkHamill

hi everyone, this is Jason - I am #autistic + I wrote my first article about representations of #autism in the #media teenvogue.com/story/autism-r…

Proud papa moment: my son, who has non-speaking autism (and whom we were told only had an IQ of 40) just wrote his first essay--on disability rights, no less. Please read & retweet! @tomzoellner @ThePublicSquare @comm4allorg @autism @AtlasForAutism zocalopublicsquare.org/2024/08/29/im-…

I like to imagine a future in which race is not such a prominent part of how society is structured. When this happens, no one will worry about Kamala Harris’ race. Instead, they will focus on her political positions, which is what an election is supposed to be about, after all.

As someone who is also of mixed ancestry, I have my own thoughts about what VP Harris' racial categorization tells us about where we are as a nation (a thread) 1/ nytimes.com/2024/08/04/opi…
