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) if someone says "ha ha are you autistic or something", the most devastating answer you can give them is a straightforward, completely factual "yes"

@ben And another probably autistic person could say “and they forgot to ask which, so autistic _or_ something”.
