Emily Brontë, from The Collected Works & Poetry of Emily Brontë; “Wuthering Heights,”

you can’t support autistic people and support the police. No amount of paint jobs or sensitivity training can stop police from killing with impunity

And fuck the jigsaw puzzle imagery advanced by the eugenicists at Autism Speaks. We’re not a “puzzle” to be “solved“

Half of all people killed by cops have a disability, because cops aren’t trained to recognize or deal with people with disabilities and very few places have people who are trained for those situations easily accessible during emergencies. So the cops come in and do what they’re paid to do - murder anyone who’s inconvenient to the state

Kayden Clarke was an autistic trans man who also had PTSD, who was shot and killed by Arizona police after having the cops called on him for being suicidal. His friend believes he was having a panic attack caused by the PTSD flashbacks he’d been having all week.

During the interaction, one cop left to get a “less than lethal” device “such as a beanbag shotgun,” which are weapons and can permanently disable and kill people. As the ACLU pointed out, they could have left the building when they felt unsafe due to Kayden having a knife; instead, they shot him in the stomach.

He was misgendered repeatedly by his mother, the police, and the news (& had apparently been denied testosterone by a doctor “until his disease [autism] was cured” which contributed to his poor mental health).

Do not call the cops on autistic people if it is at all possible and definitely do not fucking call them on suicidal autistic people (or suicidal people in general).
