Tw: ABA, mention of abuse towards autistic children
are you fucking kidding me
Tumblr media
I got this fucking ad today
In case it wasn't clear:
Fuck ABA
ABA is abuse
Trying to make autistic children repress their natural traits, feelings, and expression is abuse
I'm so done with this shit
I am proud to be autistic
We are beautiful, we are good and fine the way we are, we are wonderful
Fuck the idea that we should get rid of our autism
Fuck ABA

this month is for all the autistic people who went through trauma because of ableism.

each year I sense more strongly that autistic childhood is so inherently traumatizing because of ableism that a truly untraumatized autistic person is an essentially impossible find.

I know it鈥檚 not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

really tired of neurotypicals sometimes y'all
tw: abuse mention
i've never had a neurotypical friend and that's not on me, rest assured. neurotypicals have lied to me, manipulated me, abused me, attacked me, and harassed me all of my life, and for what? just? existing? apparently. sometimes i legitimately do not like y'all and it's just been after years of this stuff. i don't care whatsoever if someone says it's insensitive. the way neurotypicals treat us is disgusting and so, yeah, i generally think poorly of neurotypicals. people get angry at me for this, but instead of being mad that i, someone who has been abused by almost exclusively neurotypical people, and now have cptsd, can y'all really just change your behavior? i hear neurotypicals say that they are not ableist and support autistic people, but even so, in my experience, most neurotypicals still do something. do you make fun of people who mistake figurative statements for being literal? do you make fun of people who don't always understand jokes? do you get irritated when someone asks you to explain a joke or explain if you are being serious or sarcastic? these are a few minor things, but if any neurotypical people are actually reading this, think about these things and consider whether or not you have ableist beliefs, even minor ones. prove me wrong that y'all seem to almost always hate us.

oh ok so basically every negative habit is just an autistic thing. cool. /s
Tumblr media
(screenshot of an assignment i have to do)
autistic traits are not negative, we are just different from neurotypicals. it's ok. and i am tired, so godamn tired, of being told, both directly and indirectly, that my inherent body language is bad. i am proud of being autistic and i won't stop being proud. we are whole. we are wonderful. we are beautiful. we are not less. i won't stand for this crap.

april is autism acceptance month and so I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone to never support autism speaks or other institutions, organizations, or "charities" that aim to cure, medicate, or "fix" autism. autistic people do not need to be fixed. autism is not a disease or a disorder. autism is a natural human variation.
Tumblr media
i drew this around 3 years ago as a reminder to never use the blue puzzle piece. use the rainbow infinity symbol and red instead!
