seriously tho how many “autism fundraisers” do u think are just neurotypicals giving money to other neurotypicals to talk to more neurotypicals about how much they don’t like us? im talking abt shit like
“my kid came out autistic and that gave me a sad, if that’s you too here are 42 ways to terrorise your child into acting more like you and less like them!”*
or “just bc the UN defines it as torture doesn’t mean it’s not the PERFECT solution to stop YOUR child from finding comfort in self-regulating behaviours you find ‘weird’!“**
or even “murdering your autistic kid: we’ve all contemplated it! it’s hard living w autism bc your child isn’t really real! they’re missing pieces and can never love you. you should TRY to resist the temptation tho - because who knows, someday maybe we’ll learn how to change ur child completely, into someone who deserves to live!”***
like if u wanna do an “autism fundraiser” give your money to individual autistic people or autistic-run programmes and accommodations autistic people are actually asking for. dont give it to neurotypicals so they can write books abt how we shouldnt exist lmao
*ABA etc. - **JRC etc. - ***Autism $peaks etc.
