Fellow ASD Friends, I Really Need Advice !!!

on facebook, people are now allowed to ‘donate’ their birthday to a cause in an effort to raise money for organizations. I have a facebook friend who has decided to raise money for Autism $peaks >.< She is always at the forefront of activism, but she is also very harsh against people who confront her. I am a privileged person, and that is undeniable. I’m white, and I am afforded opportunities and experiences that can’t even compare to those who are not white or white passing. This classmate of mine calls Autism $peaks a “wonderful organization” who provides her “severely autistic brother with treatments and awareness.” She also references autistic people as “People of the Spectrum of Autism”

I am autistic !!! but I pass as NT a lot of the time as a college student. Her post--at least the way I read it--seems to indicate she may not have done much research into the organization itself? I’m itching to just make her *aware* of what the organization has done and perpetuated, but I think that she may come back and attack me for being someone who passes as “high functioning” and who doesn’t understand the issues surrounding more non-NT passing autistic people of color. Which, I willingly admit, is true. I don’t. But as an autistic person I literally “can’t even” when I see these things. I want to try and respectfully argue with her, but is it appropriate to engage in these conversations on her profile? Is it ok to bring this up, especially since it concerns her brother, whom she genuinely loves and adores? How can I help her see my perspective without diminishing the support that A$ may have given her family when they had literally no one else? idk I’m a mess of turmoil and coffee

Arrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh

My mood thing is being awful today and I burst into tears over my mum cos of it and had to pretend that it was just me being worried about Aya getting surgery and not a condition that I have had for as long as I can remember that I don’t have a name for and only one person actually fully knows about cos my so called mental health nurse won’t fucking listen to me and hasn’t seen me for months. And my fibro is flaring today and my brother said that my ‘dad’ is completely ignoring my disability stuff (which I am literally going to have for the rest of my life). Plus as if this all wasn’t stressful enough, my mum (who is kidding herself about my autism) has told me that her boss has informed her that her friend who has an autistic son and she is “very proactive” around it which probs means that they are trying to ‘fix’ him. Fuck. I feel so guilty about existing today.

I've tried to make my family reflect on their offensive jokes by getting them to explain them, but I feel all they're thinking is "silly aspergirl*, doesn't understand jokes!" rather than "wow, I shouldn't have said that" :T
