I laughed so hard at the part "Whoa, we hate poor people even more than we hate autistic people..." I'm really glad I stumbled upon your blog a couple weeks ago. I love your cartoons -- as an "NT" with an Aspie hubbie, I can relate to them very much. They really remind me of many endearing qualities that I love about him. Keep up the awesome work!
Hello, I've had heard about Google doing something to "fix" its autocomplete by the protests of some Autism Groups or activists (I'm so sorry, I'm from Canary Islands, in Spain; my English is so awful, I know: my daughter, who is thirteen, probably would kill me).
You can see this in a Spanish Review: http://autismodiario.org/2013/02/28/google-eliminara-terminos-ofensivos-y-violentos-en-las-busquedas-sobre-autismo/
I just want to tell you I've enjoy very much your post, and your blog -as long as I can understand it. Your draws, your T-shirts... your humour. I'd be glad to link your blog in/to (OMG, my English!!) mine, may I?
Thanks Paula! Yes, they have "fixed" the auto-complete for autism, although the offensive suggestions are still there for other groups. I'm so glad you enjoy the blog and please feel free to link to me.
