So, April is autism acceptance month, and I’ve decided to spread some information for the NT (Neurotypicals) who might not know what’s okay and what’s not okay in regards to supporting ND (Neurodivergent) in their homes or community.
1. AUTISM $PEAKS IS A HATE GROUP no if ands or buts, they speak over us in harmful ways, DO NOT donate to them.
2. Do nottttt “Light it up Blue” This is a motion started by Autism Speaks, do do #RedInstead
3. DO NOT use the puzzle piece symbol, it is another product of Autism Speaks trying to “cure” us and make us feel like we don’t fit it
4. DO USE the rainbow infinity symbol, it is widely supported as a harmless symbol to support ND
5. DO NOT try to “cure” or invalidate ND people at all!! We are not toys are accessories,
6. DO try to educated yourself, do independent research on how you can make a difference.
Thank you!

@rebellious-birman-cat I see your long as well!! And agree that having the different symbol is important, now that youβve informed me on it. It is unfortunate that the autism symbol is one with negative connotations. Have a nice day!

@bestie-enthusiast I see you point. I think the negativity of the symbol is different here because austi$m $peaks doesnβt have a large presence here (thank God). I still think having a different symbol is important due to the rights Iβve mentioned before, but it really sucks the one we have is a bad one
