I don’t know who needs to hear this but the “I never let my disability/pain/illness stop me” is an ableist and harmful narrative.
Sometimes chronic issues are debilitating and they do stop you.
And you shouldn’t be made to feel guilty about it. Period.

“Our side concocted the ‘bathroom safety’ male predator argument as a way to avoid an uncomfortable battle over LGBT ideology, and still fire up people’s emotions.”

Hey, it would be really cool if you could sign this petition to get the two Golden Globe nominations for Sia’s ableist and racist movie Music rescinded.
If you’re not sure why this is important to the autistic community, check out the petition, there’s a really good explanation on the various reasons this movie is so harmful and will get autistic people killed, hopefully we can start to set a precedent that we won’t tolerate this kind of so-called representation in future, no matter how big the names behind the movie.
Please share this too, and maybe we can make a difference.

HEY QUICK PSA
DO NOT SUPPORT MARK ROBER
I KNOW HIS CHARITY STREAM IS OVER BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN WE CAN FORGET ABOUT IT
HE IS DELETING COMMENTS ABOUT HOW HARMFUL NEXT IS
HE IS RESTRICTING ACCOUNTS THAT CALL HIM OUT ON HIS BULLSHIT
HE IS ACTIVELY SILENCING AUTISTIC PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM DONATING TO A HATE GROUP
HE KNOWS WHAT HES FUCKING DOING
DO NOT SUPPORT ANY OF THE CELEBRITIES WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE LIVE STREAM
THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE TO DROP OUT
IN SHORT
MARK ROBER CAN SUCK MY FUCKING DICK AND SO CAN EVERY GODDAMN PERSON WHO WAS IN THAT LIVE STREAM

Apparently a bunch of celebrities are donating money and asking others to donate to a "charity" called Next In Autism because Mark Rober shared a video about his autistic son.
DO NOT DONATE TO NEXT IN AUTISM THEY SUPPORT EUGENICS
YOUR MONEY WILL NOT GO TOWARDS HELPING AUTISTIC PEOPLE
A majority of their finances go towards "curing and preventing" autism as well as ABA therapy (which gay conversion therapy was based off of)
Here is a Twitter thread with a lot of good information about this charity and how it's no better than Autism Speaks
And while you're here take a look at some charities that are actually led and run by autistics

Aight dudes, ex NASA engineer and science guy Mark Rober is doing a charity stream at the end of the month for a shitty organisation with ties to Autism $peaks, eugenics, ABA therapy (which doesn’t work and has given autistics PTSD) and literally believes the extremely disproven idea that vaccines causes autism... and he’s gotten backed by a lot of misinformed celebrities along the way.
Now we need to disarm this absolute train wreck of performative activism.
So I need y’all to at least sign this and share it cause I’m tired of celebrities talking over autistic voices about shit they don’t understand, and that actively harms us. Don’t support next for autism, or autism $peaks, or any other light it up blue puzzle piece (of) shit organisation that wants to erase our neurodivergence from existence.
Instead support ASAN, A4A, AWNBN, or any other actually good organisation. We need acceptance and accommodations, not “awareness” and a “cure” cause it literally doesn’t exist.
That’s all for now ✌🏻

Do Not Support This Organization
Tumblr media
YouTube video with 10 million views where man exploits his autistic son so people donate money to a charity associated with Autism Speaks, which has no autistic board members and has recently partnered with Google to find what genes cause autism in order to ‘cure’ it (eugenics).
This video has 10 million views, is #10 on YouTube’s trending page, has already received $700k+ in donations, and has many popular Youtubers like MrBeast in the comments praising this man.
Aside from being associated with Autism Speaks, Next for Autism also supports ABA therapy and a member of their leadership, Alison Bush, worked for an ABA based center, First Leap, before joining Next for Autism.
Autism Behavioral Analysis forces children to suppress their symptoms of autism, such as forcing them to make eye contact, forcing them to stop stimming, and forcing them to deal with or ignore overstimulation, among other things. Nearly half of all ABA patients have PTSD and are more likely to experience it than people not exposed to ABA.
This is absolutely disgusting, as a father to an autistic boy, this man should know better than to support an organization that harms autistic children and is associated with one that wants to eradicate people like his son from existence, and is partnering with Jimmy Kimmel of all people, someone who has done blackface multiple times in the past. Great spokespeople for Autism, guys! (sarcastic)
Please spread this both by reblogging and sharing on other social media sites, and contact the people involved in the Color the Spectrum event to tell them that this is not OK.

as an autistic person i feel like tone indicators should be helpful to me but every time i see one i have to go look up what it means and then i realize that i literally do not know what tone is
(is it the way you say something??? is it how serious you are???? does the tone change the meaning of the words??? someone help??)

i’m setting up a dnd campaign about alternate realities and time travel and i now have a youtube playlist titled brain hurt and it’s all videos about quantum mechanics and i think possibly i should have just made something up for the campaign rather than done this
