Update on the tragic police shooting of 17 year old autistic teen Victor Perez in Pocatello Idaho. The autism community must be a voice for Victor. The police are staying silent. The Pocatello community is outraged. Victor is still in the hospital in a coma. #TheNeuroDuo #justiceforvictor #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #autism #neurodiversity #Idaho #idahonews #policebrutality #pocatello #mentalhealthmatters #bethechange

Another autistic child shot by police. We are heartbroken and angry. We know this situation ALL TOO WELL!! Our hearts go out to the teen’s family. This is why awareness isn’t enough - we need accountability and real change! Neurodivergent lives matter. #TheNeuroDuo #justiceforvictor #actuallyautistic #idaho #autismawareness #disabilityjustice #policeviolence #autisticlivesmatter #idahonews #saytheirnames #pocatello

I’m J and I was diagnosed with Autism & ADHD at 45. My partner and I created The Neuro Duo to speak honestly about what it’s like to be late diagnosed and navigating life through a new lens. If you’re neurodivergent, or tho k you might be, we hope this gives you something real to relate to #TheNeuroDuo #AuDHD #latediagnosedautistic #neurodivergentvoices #adhdinadults #autism #autismawareness #ADHD #actuallyautistic #neurodivergentjourney #neurospicy #ADHDcouple #unmaskingautism #neurodivergent

Hey everyone. I'm overwhelmed, emotional and in need of help. My landlord wants me out, because I'm transgender and no longer pray, read the Bible or talk to God. Please read and share the following and if you can support me in any way please do so.
