AUTISM FROM THE SPECTRUM'S PERSPECTIVE(anti ableism)

Menu

hello, I am a young autistic person  who will explain to you about autism!

WHAT IS AUTISM (not)

What I'SNT autism. Yep. That is what this section is about. If you don't know what autism is, than read 'what is autism?'. DO NOT google it! Google can be STUPID.

In one case, a young woman searched 'how to take care of an autistic child'. Google's AI system told her a bunch of lies about what causes autism in a pregnancy and how to aviod it (google said that you dont drink alcohol in a pregnancy may prevent the child from being autistic. As an autistic person, when I read the mother's comment on the google AI, I was frankly shocked. As a autistic person myself, it angered me).

 Okay back to what autism is not. IT IS NOT A MENTAL ILNESS. ABA THERAPY CANNNOT CURE IT, AUTISM DOES NOT NEED A CURE. AUTISM IS NOT THE MOTHER'S FAULT. Yep. I think that’s a good ending to the paragraph.
