It seems like a big part of the problem is thinking of autism as a curable "disease" in the first place.

So much money wasted on finding causes or cures. How much of that could have gone into improving our quality of lives and services? Dont even get me started on medical failing when it comes to the #autistic community.

#Transphobic people who bring up the amount of #Autistic #Transpeople just show they dont believe in the autonomy we as Autistic people should have over our bodies. They are not #autistic allies in any way, shape or form. I know already Autistic people know this, this is for wider society

All #Autistic people deserve to exist as ourselves. Focus on supporting Autistic people, making society more #accessible (this benefits all). Accesibility should be built in by design, not rushed in after.

Please when we are calling out causes of #Autism myths, lets also advocate for the right of #Autistic people to exist. Whenever this dicourse goes around I feel like the actual lives and perspectives of Autistic people get put to the side as we are used as a talking point.

I detest research aimed at finding a cure for #Autism. We deserve to exist as #Autistic people. So much of our truama and pain exists because a dominant society doesnt understand that.
Stop focusing on cures and work on building a world that works for us all. #ActuallyAutistic

Trying to write academically and ethically about #autism means one page open to read and three more trying to ensure the source isn't associated with harmful approaches to #Autistic people

I can not emphasise the importance of a good PhD team enough. My supervisors are amazing and as a disabled person I would not have been able to get this far without them.
I am so lucky to have them

The NHS must be for people, not profit.
I welcome new NHS investment, but I'm genuinely worried about the risks of creeping privatisation. The NHS must remain publicly owned, publicly run, and for public benefit.

Rachel Reeves is threatening yet more public spending cuts due to the increasing cost of borrowing.
But our services simply can’t take any more austerity.
The Government should tax the super-rich fairly to help fund public services and close the inequality gap.

The inaccessibility of one way exits/systems in shops makes me wanna scream.
If you rely on your customers having to squeeze past or ask people to move out of the way in order to exit, you are creating unessisary stress for people

Arguing that crime is lower than the 90s isnt necessarily "gaslighting" when it comes to fear. #Fear of #crime may be better considered as an outcome of societal inescurity and stress.
"Objective" crime measures can matter little in this respect
