Reminder to y’all,
April is autism awareness month. Couple of things:
1) do not support Autism Speaks. At all. They silence the voices of actual autistic people and seek a “cure” and compare us to cancer
2) stop and call out others reducing autism to a punchline and/or insult
3.) stop fearmongering against chemicals because “they cause autism” as if it’s a bad thing to have autism.
i read an article today about a report that some pesticide causes autism and must be banned “at all costs” to ‘protect us and protect public health’ from autism. as if it wasn’t bad enough, a woman in the comments said she worked with autistic children and “loved her job,” but she “would be happy if there was no more autism”.
