Nothing about us without us.  Image description: [pale purple and yellow background with dark text] This April, don’t support an organization that harms autistic people.

Please, please don’t refer to autism as a mental illness (or any other type of illness for that matter).

Mental illness, while often incurable, are disorders that can be treated with medication and therapies. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disability that cannot be treated, only accommodated for and supported.

I see a lot of well-meaning allistics listing autism as a mental illness and it really worries me. There is nothing “wrong” with an autistic brain - it’s just a brain that is developed in a significantly different way to an allistic one.

As soon as we start allowing this mix-up of language, we also let people try to “cure” us with fake miracle pills, organic toothpaste, and abusive behaviour therapies. Please think about how you word these things.

So glad I'm not the only one who things that PETA and Autism Speaks are insanely similar in their pseudo care and actively hurting the group they claim to help

neurotypical director: here is my movie about autism

autistic people: damm, that’s really offensive and genuinely harmful

neurotypical director: what? No no no, I worked with an autism awareness organization to make it

autistic people: what organization?

neurotypical movie director: autism speaks

autistic people: …

THIS.

If autism is a disease, wouldn’t we all be dead by now?

Yeah? That’s what I thought. Be quite and shove that Autism Speaks support up your ass.

My stance on Autism Speaks

So yesterday, my mother sent me a photo of a page on the Autism Speaks website. It said that they have removed “finding a cure for autism” from their vocabulary. On the same page they stated that they did not support eugenics.

I went on their page to do more research on what they’re saying now. They have a page addressing their awful (and quite traumatizing) “I Am Autism” video. They apologized for it and apologized to anyone that “was offended”.

So what am I saying here?

I do not support Autism Speaks. I never will. Despite their apologies, they do not acknowledge all their wrongdoings. Even if they did, nothing will be able to make up for it. So, that being said, my stance remains the same:

If you support Autism Speaks, GET OFF MY FUCKING BLOG.
