Death By Severe Autism by Lee Elizabeth Wachtel, MD is a reaction to the house fire death of CA autism advocate Feda Almaliti and severely autistic son Mu. The doctor reminds disability advocates that some people are #autisticAF no matter how much the “neurodiverse” must have to hold back from covering their ears at the uttering of term “severe.” Be sure you do not miss Feda’s sister Maysoon’s response to complaints about this article. Powerful stuff. Thank you National Council on Severe Autism for educating us and providing a beautiful platform in which to advocate for our “overshadowed” (your word) population.

Stay tuned as the blondes plan to dedicate an episode to parent shaming in the very near future.
