TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Why I’m Done Playing Nice YouTube keeps flagging my content for saying things like "clitoral empowerment" and talking about trauma. So I made a space—Patreon—where I can be fully myself and talk about everything from divorce to dating to that one time I super queefed in hot yoga. 3:11 - Responding to RFK Jr's Autism Comments RFK Jr said autistic kids will never pay taxes or go on dates. I'm a mom to a child with severe autism—and I have a lot to say about that. My son is not a tragedy. He’s magic. 10:00 - Autism Isn’t the Problem—Society Is Maybe autistic people aren’t broken. Maybe the world just isn’t built for them. Let’s stop trying to “fix” them and start changing the system instead.
