not pity or dismissal.

To every autistic person who heard those words and felt erased: you matter. You are not a burden. You are a vital part of our communities, our movements, and our future.

We see you. We stand with you. And we will not let this kind of rhetoric go unchallenged.

Autistic people are not broken. They are not burdens. They are artists, athletes, workers, friends, partners, and taxpayers. They live full lives. And yes, they write poems. They go on dates. They contribute to their communities every single day. Autistic people deserve dignity and respect,
