happy autism acceptance month, asperger's is still an ableist and useless term
[ID: a Simpson's character gesturing towards a sign that reads, "Don't Forget: Asperger was a eugenicist Nazi that sent autistic children to their deaths." End of ID]
It's okay if you didn't know! We're a severely misrepresented community and many autistic people themselves are uninformed about a lot of things about our own community.
It's just really important to be receptive about things that our fellow autistics say are harmful towards autistic people. Please listen.
DNI if you still use/defend the term Asperger's. It's okay if you didn't know until you saw this post, but please stop using it. Just say autism. It's not a bad word.
