Shalom! My name is Sophie, and you might remember me from my TedTalk on autism.

If you would like to use this video please message me in one of the social media links below or email me at slphotos@outlook.com Sources of the information are from the NHS website and the following links.

The love/support/never alone promise only stands up if you agree with the ethic of safety from rejection, that motivated my fairness watching site autisticgroupsfairnesswatch,wordpress.com, and you are not on the side of the problematically many intolerant rejecty purgey elements in the autistic scene.
