1/I've said many times that I am poor because I am unemployed (except for my writing) and I am unemployed because I am disabled.
I am now officially rejecting that shit.
I am still disabled. I still am not employed.

2/But the reason I am unemployed is because society has deemed me disposable. This isn't on me.

3/It's because society has decided the WANTS of the abled (specifically in my case, to use fragrance and decorate with balloons) are more important than my survival. This isn't on me.

Another hate campaign...
This time it's #endautismnow.

Okay, so first and foremost:
There is no 'cure' for autism. And even if there was, us autistic people wouldn't want it.
We experience life through the unique viewpoints that we have, and suddenly losing that perspective would be the height of trauma.

I'm talking about a full on existential crisis here... So much of how we perceive the world is shaped by our autistic minds. We would not recognise the world should that change so drastically.
