Remember: the #UglyLaws made it illegal to be #disabled in public, doctors told families to #institutionalize their kid, AND being disabled in college was impossible until #EdRoberts fought #UCBerkeley to go. The ADA was passed in the 90s; we're still in the infancy of our fight for equality.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.
