The ‘Illusory truth effect’ is the tendency to believe the information to be correct after repeated exposure. The illusory truth effect has played a significant role in election campaigns, advertising, news media, and political propaganda throughout history.

just saw a post by a notorious low support needs autistic on insta that said “autism doesn’t make people violent!” (referring to a problematic show) and a bunch of level 1s agreeing with her. and let me just say -

YOU DON’T SUPPORT AUTISTICS IF YOU DON’T SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO HAVE VIOLENT MELTDOWNS.

i frequently have meltdowns where i will scream, hit, and throw fucking chairs at people i love because of sensory overload. it’s absolutely not okay and not an excuse for my behavior, however, while being autistic doesn’t make you inherently violent, autism can cause someone to exhibit violent behavior to themselves/others during meltdowns.

we are constantly forgetting those with higher support needs in this community and it really needs to fucking stop. you can’t just say a blanket statement like “autism doesn’t make you do (blank) because i don’t do it/it’s a problematic behavior/it’s a stereotype.” you don’t support autistics if you don’t recognize that some of us get violent meltdowns, period.

Before Youtube...

I didn’t know that there was a place that I could always go to laugh

I didn’t know that there was a place I could go if I ever had questions about life

I didn’t know there was a place I could go to watch people obsess over the things I obsessed over

I didn’t know there was a place where I could listen to amazing music

I didn’t know there was a place where I could find tips on style and beauty 

I didn’t know there was a place I could go to learn to new things

I didn’t know that these people existed

I didn’t know. But now I do. And I can’t imagine ever letting them go.
