The autistic community is angry, and we have a right to be angry. Autistics are tired of combating billions of dollars and decades of hate speech and misinformation, just to be seen as people, and not objects or projects. We regularly experience abuse and oppression, while simultaneously being placated. We are tired. We are tired of having the same conversations with new people who have been taught the same ableist “autism awareness” trope that we are puzzles. We’re not puzzles, we’re people.
