I endured similar treatment from HCPSS as a student in late nineties and early oughts. That the situation has not improved is unsurprising, but alarming.
autism speaks is harmful to all autistic people. autism isn't a disease. there's nothing about them that need to be 'fixed'. they're human, just like us.
As a Woman with Asperger’s, I’m really sick and tired of seeing abilists like Sia, exploit those of Us; who are on the Autism Spectrum, for entertainment. No matter, how “positive and inspirational “, her project was supposed to be. Because not only was the actress, who the played the main character; neurotypical. But obviously, she didn’t seek out, the advice or consult with anyone; who’s actually autistic. Thus, Sia shouldn’t have been rewarded; with a nomination.
