Please, please, please, signal boost this!!

This is the petition to stop the fundraiser that Next ForAutism has started.

Next ForAutism is fundraising for money for eugenics, aka, how to get rid of an undesirable gene/piece of DNA before birth. They’re trying to get rid of autism.

They also practice ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis: literally legal torture for autistic children) and are in association with Autism Speaks.

Please, tell me what is so wrong and bad about Autism that people find the need to wipe out and/or so called “fix” an entire population? I’ll have you know that one of my best friends has autism, and she is absolutely lovely and one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known.

language and community i guess

its cool i guess

how when i stop trying to sound ‘right’ i find my kind people

people i want to hear me hear me when i use my language

people who demand to hear me say to use their language

i learned for them i write like them i speak like them i sing their endless songs about love and breakups when i want to sing about dragons and laughter and magic and making and life and angry and waves and green

my kind of people cant find me when i am being like them

i don’t know how to not be like them because they made me sound like them they made me write like them i don’t know how i need to sound it all gets stuck in sentence structure and grammar and punctuation and i am trying to lose that and then i get so caught up in trying to find my real language that what i am saying is lost

stop making your kids like me let them be kids let them spin let them flap let them run let them sing shout live 

we all communicate its what people do we dont have to talk to do it

i dont know how to find my kind of people because i sound like the wrong people to everyone except the wrong people
