We live in a very ableist society. From inaccessible buildings and public transport, to throwing the word ‘retard’ around like it is a joke. Every time there is a speech with no sign language, or a leaflet for an event with no brail, we are excluding people. We are telling people that we do not...

Autism does speak. Just talk to someone on the spectrum.

[battybeka]

Stop describing your ex girlfriends as bat shit crazy bitches.

The proper response to someone liking a band you hate is not “are you psycho/psychotic?!”

Schizo is not an adjective to describe your mom being extra bitchy.

Stop describing yourself as OCD because your room is clean and like...

disabled people are everything I want you all to remember that

people have spent history trying to eradicate us, through slaughter and eugenics and isolation

but we have fucking survived and we are still fighting and we exist regardless of whether you want us to or not

disabled people’s existence is rebellion and we are better than abled people could ever be

[silversarcasm]

seriously autistic people are murdered and it is considered a ‘mercy’ and their killers are praised and defended

don’t fucking talk to me about how great or brave or strong or kind ‘autism parents’ are until you’ve looked up the names of every slaughtered autistic child and seen how little punishment their killers recieved

I am the Mom in the grocery store Whose child is laid out on the floor As all the people stop and stare I try to pretend I’m unaware My last shred of patience is slipping away We have been playing this game all day At the dollar store and the beauty...

I can’t wait for the day when people remember that autistic people exist as human beings and aren’t just props to congratulate ~autism parents~ on their ~struggle~

I am not broken. I do not need fixing.

Compassion is greater than hatred.

A helping hand should not destroy.

I don’t understand the whole autism and vaccines debate at all. Not only has it been debunked, but ultimately what these people are saying is that they’d rather have their child die of a preventable disease than have one with autism. Lovely.

This is how I think my kids feel when we have overloaded on healthy food for a long time, and they need a break lol.

Yeah I am a terrible ablest asshole, but you really can't tell me that autism spectrum isn't a thing. Maybe saying "higher level" is bad I can use higher spectrum instead. You can't deny there is a low spectrum and a higher spectrum in autism.

mate, there are verbal and non-verabal autistics but trying to say how intelligent someone is based on how they can’t communicate verbally is ableist and you’re going to continue to be ableist until you understand that.

you really need to stop trying to keep with the whole low/high functioning shit it’s really insulting. 

[goldenheartedrose]

This.

[equalseleventhirds]

i’m

the autism spectrum is a medical thing

but it’s not a high/low spectrum????

it’s not fucking ‘more autistic’ to ‘less autistic’ jfc

think of it like a color spectrum

you’re not gonna go around saying that red is ‘more colorful’ and blue is ‘less colorful’

they’re both fucking colors

they’re just different ones

[goldenheartedrose]

This is the best analogy ever.

When people so a self-diagnosis on themselves for things like bipolar syndrome or autism, it kind of annoys me? Like, it’s better to get a professional or someone else’s word on it.

Like some idiots think autism is just an Obsession Disorder, it’s not. You idiot, you didn’t diagnosis yourself with autism, you diagnosed yourself with “Idiocy”.

[livingitupdowntherabbithole]

I keep seeing 'self-diagnosis' in quite a few places, and I have to admit it annoys me. If it is so easily self-diagnosed, why then are so many people having to run back and forth to specialists and pay money for it? Come on people. If you think you know someone or have the signs yourself, do it properly, pay the money, see the specialists and don't just piggy-back on those that actually have a diagnosis. No wonder people talk so much crap about the spectrum with all the 'self-diagnosed'  making noise.
