@seastarbatita How we effectively shift parenting culture in this respect is something that occupies my mind a lot. People during covid seem to want to engage more in rights-based thinking but effective resources are low. https://t.co/HSBq9wNAN2

@goddess3815 @CNNPolitics Many deaf people have ASL as their primary language, not English. Also, using "special needs" is an ineffective euphemism. Just use disability. https://t.co/qTdN58rwrQ https://t.co/gM39DdvYSf

Remember, folks, "Special Needs" fits in that space between "Cripple" (actual slur) and "handicapped" (not quite a slur, but still pejorative & also a term used in forcible institutionalization) in "words nobody likes to be called." https://t.co/a16q4
