My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.

Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.

Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too.

Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.

– George

People aren’t faking their disabilities, they’re faking being well.

We know society hates us.

We know we will be judged for using assistive devices.

Many of us take years to get the courage to lean in to accommodations.

Stop judging. Help us build a more inclusive world.

New on Ramen Science!

A curious CC-0 Wikimedia picture inspires one of the best ramen bowls I've had on the blog to date.

"High functioning" and "low functioning" aren't imprecise labels.

They're pathology-paradigm labels - and I reject the paradigm, not just the wording.

There's no such thing as a high or low functioning autistic person.

There are autistic people whose support needs are visible, and autistic people whose support needs get ignored.

The labels don't describe us.

They sort us - by how useful we look to others.

Refuse the sorting.

All of it.
