Lightbulb Moments: Being Autistic is an animation about those things that people tend to think are just individual quirks, until they realise they're common Autistic experiences.
It's so important to feel seen!
Many of these are very commonly misunderstood.

A thread including some of those studies: bsky.app/profile/amas...
By and large, as it turns out, Autistic people do not want to be prevented.
Less than 9% of this huge survey's Autistic respondents said they'd take a 'cure'.
Why would you prevent something people wouldn't want to be cured of?

Paracetamol (Tylenol) does not cause autism, and it is a source of great dismay that autism researchers and Autistic advocates still have to spend so much time battling misinformation.
Research on causes of autism systematically fails to control for the existence and behaviour of Autistic parents.
