I& #39;m really gonna need other yt disabled folk, esp yt autistics to really reflect on how y& #39;all address us.

This is microaggressive as hell, and there& #39;s even another person in the comments on this post ignoring the microaggression to further push a point Seth wasn& #39;t making. https://twitter.com/theblvckhorned/status/1391714892734816257">https://twitter.com/theblvckh...
As someone who uses identity first language, I still use person first when sentences sound clunky as all hell. That& #39;s easier on my brain and isn& #39;t indicative of my views on IFL vs PFL for myself or others.
And the fact that the person who did it completely ignored the point in Seth& #39;s tweet to say something about the words he chose to use to communicate for himself is very telling.
And personally? You& #39;d have to have a lot of nerve to come and tell someone what words to use when they& #39;re talking for themselves and not about an entire group of people.
Y& #39;all very often forget Black autistic people exist when y& #39;all are talking to us, regardless of whether or not we list it in our bios, our display names or our usernames
As a Black autistic, we do not get the same space, grace or understanding when communicating by allistics and yt autistics.
