CW: cops, autism-related puzzle piece symbol
.
.
.
.
So.....do these police realize that puzzle pieces, when relating to autism, literally scream "I AM A EUGENICIST AND WANT TO MURDER YOU FOR BEING AUTISTIC," or do they need to get the message more explicitly??? https://twitter.com/MiamiPD/status/1298667203064139776

We're just linking this to every fucking ableist who decides it was a good idea to praise this, because now we either don't have to deal with them or they actually will learn something. https://www.google.com/amp/s/intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-ableist-history-of-the-puzzle-piece-symbol-for-autism/amp/
Fuck cops, but also, please realize the puzzle phenomenon has been a piece of shit even before today.
If this was not a symbol to you that Autism Speaks and similar organizations are hate groups, we don't know how to help you quite yet ://

Listen! To! Autistic! People! https://twitter.com/Ryphna/status/1298760251865366528?s=19
@awnnetwork_ and @autselfadvocacy are your best bets if you need organizations to follow instead of eugenicist hate groups that use puzzle piece symbols.
We're so going to start linking this to every person praising these horrible cops too: https://awnnetwork.org/is-autism-speaks-a-hate-group/
We're sick of this shit and we won't take it anymore.
You* can stop supporting the people who want to kill us, or you* can shut the fuck up.

@Imani_Barbarin's piece on ableism and its covering for white supremacy is always good too just generally but hits especially hard rn. https://rewire.news/article/2018/11/19/ableism-is-the-go-to-disguise-for-white-supremacy-too-many-people-are-falling-for-it/
#FreeMatthewRushin site is http://freematthewrushin.com to our understanding right now. https://twitter.com/NeuroClastic/status/1298767867215831042?s=19
We're going to try to find some of our old master lists on Autism Speaks being fucking horrible and see if any of the re/sources are still relevant to paste here.
Because it should NOT have to take facists explicitly supporting other fascists for people to actually start listening to a marginalized group.
It's worth noting this is a webpage capture/archive we did on September 8, 2018.
Autism Speaks still used the word "cure" in their European offshoot.
That was literally TWO years ago. Just two. What makes people think they're suddenly okay? https://archive.fo/Nknoj

While we have @slooterman blocked and vice versa, we should still give credit for this one.
Autism Speaks expressly ignored the wishes of Autistic advocates and their allies in their research plans from 2017 to 2020. http://nosmag.org/big-talk-little-change-for-autism-speaks-research-agenda/

It's actually funny that Autism Speaks tried to delete those plans, here you go since the link given by Sarah Looterman is kinda dead.

Unfortunately, we can't find everything in Wayback. We'll check a few more archives, but if anyone has the webpages saved that were deleted we'll take them.
Our hot take of the day is that organizations that claim to help people should never delete research plans, or it's shady.

Listen to Autistic people. https://twitter.com/BlueNebulae/status/1298774517112664070?s=19
We hope y'all realize we were also talking about how Trump supported Autism Speaks publicly when we thought we were a singlet.
Like. We've been screaming into the void called Abled People for years, please actually listen to Autistic people. https://twitter.com/NoPuzzl98/status/1013559193268379648?s=19

Did @Nickelodeon ever end their partnership with Autism Speaks??
Welp, we're going to post this petition here for awareness that they may or may not be still supporting a hate group full of eugenicists, for people to sign. https://www.change.org/p/nickelodeon-nickelodeon-end-your-partnership-with-autism-speaks

This was in...2019?? @NianticLabs never gave an explicit and public apology for their support of a eugenicist hate group, and this petition never even reached 2500 if y'all want to try signing it. https://www.change.org/p/niantic-inc-revoke-your-support-and-sponsorship-of-autism-speaks
Listen to Autistic people.
This will be a refrain you hear from us several times as we add to this thread and retweet stuff. https://twitter.com/Imani_Barbarin/status/1298765590329524224?s=19

Since people we follow or that are following us are everywhere in the spectrum between Knowing For Decades Spiritually and Just Finding Out, we do wish to put it out there that we do support anyone who feels kind of fucked up if they used to support them: https://twitter.com/NoPuzzl98/status/1190092447788994561?s=19
We're fully aware that thread kind of gives our old town/residence away but, ah, we feel like reassurance to Autistic people moght be more important right now given how fucked 2020 is.
You're not "Totally Irredeemable Bad Bad Bad" if you used to support A$.
