"First they came for the communists,
And I did not speak out—because I was not a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
And I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
And I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—
And there was no one left to speak for me"
It's Trans History Week! Meet Dr. James Barry.
Just being an autistic self advocate online makes you a target to these sorts of people. Heaven forbid we speak for ourselves and steal their thunder.
These bots are out here trying to scam people. If they want you to dm first, instant report. That is a good rule to live by
I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

April is Autism Awareness month, and April 2nd is Autism Awareness day, but we need more than just awareness now. The problem now isn't that people aren't aware of autism, but that they don't accept or understand it. The ignorance when it comes to autism is staggering, especially in the medical field and in politics.
The more people have been willing to listen to autistic people, and the more autistic people put themselves into medical professions, the more factual information has come out about autism. When I was diagnosed 22 years ago I didn't know another autistic person, but now, as we've learned more about autism, more and more autistic people are being diagnosed, instead being overlooked.
I'm always happy to see more autistic creators out there being open about their lives and their realities, helping people realize the reality of autism. We're well beyond the point of just seeking awareness. People are aware. What we need now is Autism Acceptance!
In my previous post, I talked about how amity it's treated when it comes to lunter.
And how they treat her like she's nothing but a person who's between their favorite ship or just a bad character in general.
My brother sent me some of these, and some of these I came across myself.
In my post, I talked about how people will make amity this jealous girl in between they're perfect "straight" ship.
Amity is nothing more than annoying lesbian to these people.
I don't understand why watch the show if you're just going to be homophobic. There are millions of female characters who end up with men and you choose the one who is relationship with a woman because she's bisexual but also treat her partner like she's getting in the way of the relationship.
It's so distasteful and disrespectful, I don't understand how people live like this.
"It's just people having fun"
By being homophobic? By messing with representation?
this one is the obviously trying to dagger people.
Then there's this person who's trying to lie on the internet. That dana is a self insert who's shipping herself with a minor when it was obvious that she dyed her hair to celebrate the first season of her show.
This Pacific poster attacks people for not shipping lunter but also says that the fandom is toxic but also by information from other people that this particular person send a rape fanfic of lunter to people who don't like the ship.
I have no proof besides my brothers words but this person has shared their dislike towards lumity and amity because amity is toxic and a bully and like I said before, hunter is literally a kid's soldier that most likely kill people before.
I also heard they don't like interacting with people who kin or like amity.
So all i'm saying is that I don't like this ship and I don't like the shippers, because they always have to disrespect amity in different types of way.
Amity is one of my favorite characters in this series. And the way people treat her, it's so disgusting.
Edit:
I also forgot to mention there are lunter shippers that ship amity with hunter
I also got sent this screenshot.
This person, for example, they already said they don't respect people like us so they ship amity with a man (hunter)
To make her "normal", also I don't want to show the art.
Ok, I just found this draw I made in an old RP server I was. Thanks, Carrão!
