When I told my mom to stop eating Chick-fil-A for a while, she didn't listen. When I begged her to stop supporting Autism Speaks, she rolled her eyes.

So, I didn't tell my mom about the Isreal boycott.

How could I?

I am gay, I am autistic, and she knew both of these things when I asked her to stop supporting things that would aim to hurt me.

She ignored my request to not eat at Chick-fil-A when it was donating its money to hurt queer people, she refused to listen to me when I gave her evidence of Autism Speaks wanting to hurt autistic people, she even went out of her way to tell me that they were "right"

I still remember the dinner when she told me that "some autistic people have it worse than me" and "some of them really do need a cure" and that that was why autism speaks was good. Remember how pissy she got when I made her take down the baby blue porch light, how long it took her to actually agree to switch lights. (Weeks, maybe even months. At one point she told me to just imagine it was a blue lives matter light instead, which made me feel sick)

If she couldn't stop supporting one place that was hurting her own daughter, how can I expect her to stop supporting a hundred places that are hurting someone she's never even met?

I love my mom, but sometimes I wonder why

#vent post #free palestine #boycott israel #autism speaks sucks #i showed her PROOF #and she just cited a story about an old couple shed read years ago that was probably a lie #god thinking back on it makes me feel awful

HAPPY AUTISM AWARENESS DAY!

autism is not evil.

autism is not a disease.

autism is not something that can be cured.

autism is not caused by vaccines.

autism should not be ostracized.

autistic people, i love and support you.

As an autistic person, I quote the ‘I am autism’ autism speaks advert frequently. I then go on a spiel about how autism speaks sucks.

Autism speaks has a TikTok account and in the span of around 18 hours or so they had to turn off the comments because the autistic community was clowning on them so much

They didn’t want autism to speak after all :/

As we approach Autism Awareness Month I would like to remind everyone listening of two things. Autism Speaks is an awful charity that does not give a voice to actually autistic individuals, and if elon musk tries to pull any bullshit about people bullying him online because he has asperger’s, you absolutely have this asperger’s-diagnosed person’s permission to tell him to fuck off

#autism awareness month #autism #autism speaks sucks #like really fucking sucks #like if you think they're ok I'll send you some videos to watch about what they did

[trash-and-trash-accessories]

No YOU can't cure Autism. I've personally sucked the autism out of hundreds of people and absorbed it all into myself. I've become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

#autism #autistic #autism creature #autism cure #autistic adult #hmu if you want the autism sucked from your body #I've become more autistic than you could possibly imagine #autism speaks #and it says suck on each other's autism

[awetistic-things]

just a reminder that to support autism speaks is to oppose autistic people

#they quite literally promote eugenics #like real bad #autism #autistic #actually autistic #asd #autism spectrum disorder #on the spectrum #autism speaks #AUTISM SPEAKS CAN SUCK MY NEURODIVERGENT DICK - yung butt piss

I feel like this last episode really has been such a big reminder that Jawbone is not in any way trained to be a guidance counselor. Is he amazing at his job yes he’s great he’s helped so many kids but he is not legally qualified, plus there’s the added factor of him only having the job because of a party of students who are currently at the school and his adoptive daughter stepdaughter and the kid whose been living with him for months all go there so he can’t be truly impartial in matters concerning them like he’s supposed to. Do I think he shouldn’t have the job no because he’s amazing at it otherwise but I do think that there should be a second counselor with no connections to any of the students

#I love sandra lynn and jawbone but that really is a conflict of interest #the bad kids can’t go to the guidance counselor because it’s not just going to the guidance counselor for them #especially since barons game with riz happened like how are you supposed to tell your friends dad you have trauma about them specifically #and he can’t properly help kids with problems with the bad kids because he’s biased because that’s his daughter! that’s his step kid! #it sucks that there is supposed to be a major safe space at school that the bad kids and the people close to them can’t take up #btw the second guidance counselor thing wasn’t my idea I saw somebody else say and they’re right!! #love jawbone to death I just think he needs to get like proper training #fhjy #fantasy high junior year #fantasy high #jawbone o'shaughnessey #autism (mads) speaks #dimension 20 #d20 #d20 fantasy high #dimension 20 fhjy

My stance on Autism Speaks

So yesterday, my mother sent me a photo of a page on the Autism Speaks website. It said that they have removed “finding a cure for autism” from their vocabulary. On the same page they stated that they did not support eugenics.

I went on their page to do more research on what they’re saying now. They have a page addressing their awful (and quite traumatizing) “I Am Autism” video. They apologized for it and apologized to anyone that “was offended”.

So what am I saying here?

I do not support Autism Speaks. I never will. Despite their apologies, they do not acknowledge all their wrongdoings. Even if they did, nothing will be able to make up for it. So, that being said, my stance remains the same:

If you support Autism Speaks, GET OFF MY FUCKING BLOG.

i'm pretty curious about this, since it seems like i hear a lot of similar experiences despite it being oddly specific:

(this is just based on the most common hyper-specific situations ive heard from other autistic people)

ALSO. if you're autistic and you never did any of these things, THAT'S OKAY. please do not become insecure over your own experiences if they don't perfectly match everyone else's- every autistic person is different

#sas says #polls #my polls #autism #actually autistic #autism community #autism culture #for me personally: i never learned to swim whistle OR tie my shoes and i still suck at all three to this day #i also used to walk on my toes all the time and earned the nickname twinkletoes #and finally i learned the alphabet and LOTS of spelling unbelievably fast. i think by the age of two. meanwhile i also refused to speak #until i was like 4 years old and would just speak an 'alien language' described by my parents

Sometimes I find myself thinking about Din Djarin a little too much that I get concerned and think that I really should go to therapy...

Well, I'm finally doing that (again) tomorrow... :)

Feeling pretty nervous about it but hoping that because I now know I'm autistic it will help me understand/explain things a little better! Hopefully this is the start of a journey to finally become a healthier, happier version of myself :)

#the waiting list was surprisingly short so i'm excited i just hope that they understand neurodivergency #because cbt doesn't work for my brain and i hope they don't try and force a square peg in a round hole so to speak #i want emdr eventually but i have to go through several stages first it seems and it sucks i wish i could afford private therapy #but i also just wish the nhs just fucking functioned lol #anyway that was a lot of acronyms but there we go #having ptsd sucks that's part of why i love din a lot because i can weirdly relate to him. also mando came into my life when i needed it #and as corny as it sounds knowing i can make some silly little gifs and write about the tin can helps regulate me after a draining events #so knowing i can do that whatever happens tomorrow is nice :) oR TODAY it's past midnight here what is a sleeping pattern #anyway once again i just really love din djarin but now no one can tell me to gO TO THERAPY ANYMORE BC OF IT ALSSNJSSK #personal #text post #just autism things

[buildarocketboys]

the way the autistic community went from "having low/no empathy doesn't make you a bad person" to "actually all autistics are hyperempathetic, they just don't express it like neurotypicals!!!!" within the space of a few years :////

#actuallyautistic #actually autistic #autism tag #empathy #also the implied idea that being hyperempathetic is like. the morally correct way to be #like no actually sometimes it makes you suck harder #(speaking as an autistic who is sometimes hyperempathetic and sometimes hypoempathetic) #saw a post just now about the watering down of autism symptoms which made me think of this #which i agreed with the gist of but not the specifics so I didn't want to reblog so im making my own post instead
