If you know an autistic person, youâre probably aware that April is âAutism Awareness Month.â What you might not know, however, is that April is a month of pure hell for #ActuallyAutistic folx.
The concept originated in 1970, when we understood a lot less about autism than we do today. Since then, the month has been co-opted by groups like Autism Speaks for fundraising. But what neurotypical people donât realize is that the vast majority of these groups are actually
considered to be hate-groups by the #ActuallyAutistic community. So much of the discourse and dialogue around autism has centered NT people. When you consider NTs to be the ânormâ and NDs to be outside of that norm, the discussion veers toward âhow do we help them be normal?â
It's a thread! đ§ľ
