I really hate it when parents of autistic kids use phrases like “I know they’re in there.” Bitch they’re right in front of you! You haven’t lost them! They’re not locked away like a final boss in a video game!! This is your child As Is! Love them for who they are not what you wish they would be! Fuck!
OP you are right and you should say it 👍

Disabled people are the experts on how their disabilities effect them
Enough with the “Autistic with a hidden talent” stereotype.
I get why Allistics thought it was a good idea. Maybe they meant to say “just because you’re Autistic doesn’t mean you can’t have skills, look at Rain Man!”
I’m sorry, as an Autistic person I have license to say that it completely backfired.
You’re not saying “Autistic people can be smart” any more.
You’re saying “Autistic people owe us some sort of super talented to exist.”
Autistic people do not need to be geniuses to be valid (and I’m a top student myself, but I can still see the problem in this). Autistic people do not need to prove themselves to be extraordinary, or “work twice as hard” to get basic respect.
Autistic people do not need to be extremely talented in order to be appreciated, pass it on.
“who would you want to play you in a movie in your life” this question isn’t as fun for me. im a disabled trans woman. im getting eddie redmayne
It’s fucked up to expect emotional support from your child when it comes to their disability.
That’s really all their is too it. If I have to explain further you’re not going to get it anyhow.
some middle aged white dude who has never had a problem with his perfectly sculpted body in his life: Does replacing our flesh with metal and circuits… disconnect us from humanity? When you replace man with machine… how long does the soul stay connected?
literally anyone who has had a limiting physical condition, interacted with prosthetics or assistance devices: You really don’t understand the ‘Punk’ of Cyberpunk, do you?
Something a lot of early cyberpunk’s modern imitators don’t seem to grasp is that the reason early cyberpunk treats cybernetic modification with suspicion is because those modifications are often performed against the recipients’ will at the behest of state and corporate interests. It’s an explicit metaphor for the commodification of bodily autonomy under capitalism – and it draws a direct line to contemporary abuses of the same. It’s not by accident that the first chromed-out street samurai to grace the pages of cyberpunk literature is a woman.
i dont think “lightning has a better chance of killing you than a cop” is a point, much less a good one
i havent been told from birth that:
-i should summon lightning if im in trouble
-i can trust lightning and should always tell it truth
-any sort of trouble caused by lightning is just bad lightning, and not at all related to the simple fact of its fucking lightning
-lightning will be there for me, and will never let me down
-lightning kills people, but if that happens they were scum or thugs or they ran because theyre guilty and so who cares lightning killed them stop complaining
theres no videos of eight lightning bolts hitting someone thirteen times each. these are different things and “the cops might summarily execute you” isnt the sort of thing we should analyze as some random chance consequence of existance
16 people died from lightening strikes in the usa in 2017.
1129 people died at the hands of cops in the usa in 2017.
we don’t pay for lightning to exist
And lightening doesn’t strike brown, black and disabled people at several times the national average because it’s fcking lightening
I shall fight whoever came up with that one.
Milo Yianopolous as a matter of fact
i was ranting about ableism on twitter and. i realize a lot of people genuinely do not know this and dont mean harm. so please know this and cause less harm. you will make my life and the life of other autistic people just a little bit better.
[id= @history_lesbian on Twitter “the spectrum DOES NOT refer to ‘how autistic’ you are. all autistic people are the same amount of autistic. theres just a wide SPECTRUM of symptoms and ways those symptoms can manifest in someone. please take this knowledge and use it to fight evil” /end id]
Its amazing how many ppl seem to think that the concept of ableism was invented by tumblr
The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by George H. W. Bush, a known tumblr sjw,
even worse, they seem to restate the point of every post they reblog. they added ‘Actually, did u know rape is bad’ to a post about rape being bad.
[a cropped blog description. “[I think] what I think and next-level shitposting. I also have a blanket rule against people with cluster B (BPD/NPD etc.) so I ask respectfully that you don’t interact with me. If you haven’t figured out I’m a radfem yet, you’re in for quite a treat.]
