It’s almost 2018! Fun ideas for the upcoming year:

•stop acting like autistics can’t take care of themselves by default

•stop acting like autistics can’t enjoy romantic and/or sexual relationships

•stop saying you know what autism is like if you’re not autistic

•stop saying people aren’t/can’t be autistic because they don’t show the “neurotypical approved” signs

•be a good ally to autistic people – if you don’t know how, ask one!

– stop using functioning labels

– stop pretending asperger’s is separate from autism or is a “milder form”

– stop using the r-slur

– if you call an autie Rain Man they reserve the right to punch you

– GIVE US CANON AUTISTIC CHARACTERS WHO AREN’T THIN, WHITE, OR CIS MALES.

-Stop pretending girls can’t have autism

-Stop babying autistic kids

– Stop acting like Autism is only visible with fidgeting
