NEWSFLASH: Saying I'm well adjusted, or high functioning is as much a complement as saying I'm smart or pretty for a black woman 😏 #ActuallyAutistic #BGM #HerStory #AspieSecrets #Repost @nigh.functioning.autism with @repostsaveapp ・・・ Listen to nonspeaking Autistics... No human is low-functioning and no one certainly thinks that about themselves and if they do, it is because they were told or overheard that . [Image text: "Wouldn't it suck to be called low functioning? Can you imagine overhearing people talking about you and actually calling you, "low functioning"? How would that make you feel? If kids did this to an NT [neurotypical] child in school, it would be called bullying, but it is an "accepted" practice in the autism community. Here is the deal... So far, 100% of the kids I met who did not have speech have developed communication. Statistics already suggests that 70% of Autistic kids learn to communicate and with technology, the numbers keep growing. Do you know what they always say? "I understood everything"] . [2- Functioning Labels: something invented by "experts" in order to grade us. It says that some of us should be pitied, that we are better off being segregated and treated like children since we don't have much to offer. We are also the ones who are disproportionately abused and tortured under the guise of treatment. The grading of Autistics also says that some of us can be successful, we are "almost normal" therefore we should be included and accepted. We are to be celebrated. But we should keep our disabilities invisible. We should not look so "abnormal". What this invented functioning grading ignores is that anyone of us can bounce along the spectrum at any given moment"] . #NonspeakingDoesNotEqualNonthinking #PresumeCompetence #assumeCompetence #autismacceptance#autismawareness #nonverbalautism #nonverbal #severeautism #slp #typetotalk #loveneedsnowords #differentNotLess#inclusion #ig_autism #spectrum_inspired #neurodiversity #lowfunctioning #lowfunctioningautism #autismwarrior #rapidpromptingmethod #communicationisahumanright #actuallyautistic #autismlove #autisticadults #autisticadult #autismmom #autismdad #blackautism https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Y_47xJClD/?igshid=105pfaczzl9th

Intelligence and IQ are not a measure of a person's ability to learn and especially not their worth. What neurotypicals can measure or see as "smart" and "intelligent" is actually very narrow. The definition that is used is unfortunately missing a lot of beauty and awe. . [Image text: "Intelligence is a socially constructed concept. It addresses the majority's perception of desirability. Autistics are neurodivergent. How we absorb and express information is not typical."] . #actuallyautistic #ig_autism #igautism #autismspectrumdisorder #autismadvocate #autisticadvocacy #iq #inclusion #DiversityandInclusion #disabilityrights #cripthevote #disabledrights #differentNotLess #nonverbalautism #ableism #nonverbal #severeautism #nonspeakingdoesnotequalnonthinking#rethinkautism #autismacceptance #autismawareness #loveneedsnowords #blacksandautism #blackautismawareness #autistickidsrock #ISupportNonspeakers #communicationisahumanright #intellectualdisabilities #intellectualdisability #iqtest #intelligencequotient #intelligence #amysequenzia #olliebean (at Gaithersburg, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4FlQ4ACad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=th1t768e484m
