hey
if an autistic person says that they personally want a cure for autism, dont immediately bite their head off please.
many of us have experienced hardship because of our disability and experience self loathing because of it. There is a diference between being autistic and wanting a cure because you’ve been bullied and abused your whole life and being someone who isnt autistic and constantly speaks over autistic people.
dont shame disabled people that aren’t immediately nuanced in disabilities rights and are venting
some elaboration:
like a lot of autistic children as raised and viewed as a burden. Not every autistic knows that those ads that autism speaks have are completely wrong and sometimes they still hurt. It hurts me when autism speaks says that my autism is responsible for my parents divorce eveb though its not true.
Some days being autistic leads to so much hurt and bullying that i genuinely want to be cured of my autism because i feel it would solve everything.
be empathetic of other autistics and let them speak and vent
