Amelia Evelyn Voicy Baggs (born Amanda Melissa Baggs; August 15, 1980 – April 11, 2020), also known as Mel Baggs, was an American non-binary blogger who predominantly wrote on the subject of autism and disability. At times, Baggs used a communication device to speak and referred to themself as a low-functioning autistic. Revelations about Baggs's past created some uncertainty about their diagnosis.[2][3][4][5][6]
