Disability rights advocates said kids like Ty should not be getting arrested under Tennessee’s school threats law. And they tried to push for a broader exception for kids with other kinds of disabilities. It didn’t work.
I lived in Tennessee for less than a year with plans to stay permanently. Was discriminated against for having a name that didn’t sound “white”. People would apologize and become friendly once they saw me in person.
Got the fuck out of there asap.
Not everyone can be so lucky/privileged as to be able to move.
If I was black, with an autistic son, in a place like Tennessee, I would be moving my family to a deep blue city in a deep blue state ASAP rtfn.

This, and especially when a member of the family is disabled.
