Most of society doesn’t want autistic people to thrive.
They want us quiet.
Compliant.
Grateful for scraps.
Ashamed of our needs.
Too exhausted to resist.
Because thriving autistic people ask questions.
Name harm.
Set boundaries.
Disrupt the systems that rely on our silence.

Israel is being portrayed as the victim as it launches a war of aggression against Iran.
It's committing genocide, invading its neighbours, committing every war crime under the sun.
