A drop of Autistic realness. Welcome back.




It's been a while since last I wrote anything here, so I have decided to put fingers to keyboard and wish my fellow Autistics peace of mind this April on this last day of March, as we all know April is a sort of hell for Autistic people where instead of people signal boosting our voices they instead drown us out in a sea of "Autism Awareness" and puzzle pieces. April was renamed and reclaimed Autism Acceptance Month years ago by us and many of us fought long and hard for this to be so, especially me, but still non-Autistic people who are truly not our allies in any way, shape, or form continue to support the hate-monger of a "supposed" charity "in support" of Autistics, Aut$peaks, which has been proven time and time again from their financials to you name it that they would rather we not exist further emphasized by their tone policing us at every turn and attempting to silence our voices. I close by urging you to NOT Light it Up Blue this April, but instead if you truly want to support Autistic people please Wear Red Instead and string rainbow fairy lights in celebration of Autism Acceptance Day and Autism Acceptance Month, also donate to Autistic run organizations like Autistic Women & Nonbinary Network (AWN) (awnnetwork.org) and buy from Autistic creators. Thank you. ☮️🐳
