autistic people have a community and share skills / strategies / ways to compensate / ways to communicate their needs without feeling or being treated like inferior beings
the quality of community can reasonably be expected to get worse as the government invents their own understanding of autism based on flimflam and bullshit, thereby worsening diagnostics, inviting fake cures, and creating new and stupider stigmas
They’re talking about the years its taken to fix the damage caused by one ass-hat saying autism is caused by vaccines. There have been hundreds of studies showing there is no link. Stop wasting time and resources on this, and use it to study other possibilities.
The (false) link is damaging to vaccine programs but it has no impact on the perception of Autism. Why should Autism communities care more than anyone else?
Personal story. My daughter is on the spectrum, non verbal. When my father found out, he told me I was a terrible parent for vaccinating my kids.
I think autistic people have a right to be upset that these fucking monsters are saying “don’t vaccinate, or you could end up being like them” The target for this are vaccines, but they’re using autism as the bogeyman
