So these last couple of days we were reminded AGAIN that some parents will use their kids’ neurotype to excuse LITERALLY ANYTHING including “breaking quarantine and endangering everyone” and “actual premeditated murder and then trying to blame it on black people”
I am SICK of us being used as excuses, bargaining chips, a sympathy vote to get out of Actual Crime
We’re human fucking beings. We deserve to not be constantly used and abused by the people who are supposed to be taking care of us, and who wield what is essentially ultimate power over us.
And the number of people who will lap up that sympathy vote and say “awww it’s so sad, this Actual Murderer is such a tragic figure, they just needed more support” is INFURIATING.
How DARE you care more about the emotional state of a FUCKING RACIST MURDERER than about OUR LIVES
If you’re thinking of becoming a parent I’d ask you to carefully (& honestly) consider if you think you can “cope” with & truly love a disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent/mentally ill child. I’m serious. If you’re not prepared for that to happen, you shouldn’t become a parent
If you’re a bystander watching these news reports please stop and think about why you feel sympathy for people who use and abuse their disabled and autistic relatives. And like ... don’t do that. If you *have* sympathy at least don’t COMMENT WITH IT in support of them!
Try to imagine what it’s like for us, disabled/autistic adults, to see you sympathising with those who abuse and murder people just like us. Murderers and abusers are NOT tragic figures!! There is NO EXCUSE for their actions! Their VICTIMS are the ones who deserve your tears.
