non autistic people rt, a thread on why tonight is going to be a shit show for our community:

april is #AutismAcceptanceMonth meaning it’s a month dedicated to accepting autistic people for who we are. we don’t need awareness, we need to be treated like normal humans and understood.

today, on the last day of our month, tens of A-list celebrities are banding together with mark rober to raise over a million dollars for a charity that wants to find a cure for autism. https://twitter.com/dsmpxpain/status/1384634248880066561

NEXT for autism is a charity that funds autism speaks, an autism hate group, and they actively research into how to prevent and cure autism.

this is bad, we don’t want a cure or to be eliminated from the next generation. there is nothing wrong with us, we are happy with the way we are and developing a cure is directly ableist and disgusting.
