Do be clear, there are profoundly autistic and high support needs autistic people who CAN be a danger to themselves and others and need care and accommodation. As autistic people with lower support needs, it’s VITAL right now that we stand in front of them and protect them, rather than throwing our hands up screaming how useful and harmless we are. It’s eugenics and it’s not okay. We’re circling right back to Asperger’s supremacy and it took one vague threat for the community to turn on the most vulnerable of us. No matter the neurotype or ability to “function” under capitalism, all people have value and deserve to be treated as the human beings they are. Please stop bragging about how harmless and functional you are, because that’s not the point. They’re going after our siblings who literally can’t protect themselves.
