the mods of r/autism banned me for repeatedly calling them out on their bullshit bc they wouldn’t address it. It’s incredible, no matter the neurotype, mods are always the same hypocritical powertripped manchildren who never take accountability bc they think they are god for managing a subreddit. I pity them really, and i can proudly say that for all that is worth, that even if i have my problems at least I’m not one of those pathetic slobs.
What was the BS?
letting people share autismspeaks funded articles without repercussion, not only is it against the rules but also damages autistic people, and i couldn’t let that slide
In that case: Thank you for speaking up and good riddance. A shame they’re not taking their position seriously and do what they’re supposed to do: Abide by the rules and making sure all participants do so, too. There’s real harm coming from letting autism speaks propaganda stand like that.
What’s the issue with Autism Speaks? I know I saw something negative about it a while back, but I never read into it. I haven’t been keeping up with much negative shit lately because there’s too much negative shit to keep up with.
Eugenicist community that treats autism like a plague that ruins the lives of parents and everyone the autistic person comes into contact with.
Speaks over actual autistic people in favor of a “cure” instead of treating autistic people like, well, people. The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) is a much better foundation.
Just like with any marginalized/disability oriented community: “Nothing about us without us.” Autism Speaks violates that rule aggressively.
