Just because someone with autism or another disability doesn't experience the world in a "typical" way does not mean they don't belong in it. It simply means we need to work harder to include them and allow them to thrive in their own way; rhetoric that indicates otherwise is reductive and harmful.

Some individuals may require a higher level of daily care, but that does not invalidate their human experience, nor does it mean they are a burden or a harm to their family. Comments that indicate otherwise are not only misinformed, but also incredibly hurtful.
