How does not being able to use a toilet unassisted, or play baseball, or write a poem, or pay taxes make any person less worthy of love, acceptance and a place in this world? “Autism” isn’t destroying families. Stigma, marginalisation, trauma, and the lack of acceptance & support is what destroys

Imagine being 12 years old — a science-loving, neurodivergent American kid — and reading headlines from the U.S. presidential declaring plans to investigate the “causes of the #autism #epidemic.” Vaccines. Parenting styles. Air. Water. Food. Everything “on the table.” You scroll and blink.

"Just because I seem
"normal" to you does not mean I'm not struggling immensely. Not because I think being autistic is a bad thing
but because general society demands that autistic people pretend to "fit in" even if it means harming ourselves in the process.

"For high-masking & high-functioning individuals, many of us struggle through life knowing something is different with us,
and we adapt to our
surroundings while barely surviving in a dysregulated body..

"I am Black (biracial). We are autistic too. And our experiences with autism can be completely different than what most people think,
because the white experience centered."
