tw // autism speaks + eugenics + aba therapy

pls read this and rt!! more ppl need to talk about this /srs

i haven't really talked about this on here yet. but ive also not seen other ppl really talk about it, so i am now. so today there is a fundraiser going on that is hosted by jonhny kimmel and mark robers. the goal is to 'help' autistic ppl like me. but all the money that will

be raised will be going to an organisation working close with autism speaks. idk if you know about autism speaks, so let me explain. autism speaks is a hate group. they pretend that they want to help autistic ppl, but in reality they are working to find a cure for autism

i don't need to be cured, there is nothing wrong with me. next to this they also work with aba therapy, which is basically 'conversion' therapy for autistic traits, this has and still is traumatising thousands of autitic ppl. they also support eugenics, which basically

wants to try to prevent autitic ppl from being born. they want to try to find ways to determine if a fetus is autitstic so then the parent could have an option for abortion.

so autism speaks supports all these things. they are a hate group, they are a threat to autistic ppl.

pls use whatever platform to spread info about this!! this fundraiser could raise more than millions of dollars bc ppl like mrbeast are participating. this will hurt my community.

this thread really hurt to write, it's traumatising to read about these topics and in the way my community is hurting. this is your reminder that we are different than you, but we are not less. speak up and listen to us, we have been screaming for too long to still be silenced!

reminder:
when talking about autism instead of puzzle pieces use the infinity symbol, and instead of 'ppl with autism' use 'autistic ppl'
