note: The “Autism Community” is not the Autistic Community
The Autism Community was created by non-Autistic led organizations and includes mostly parents, professionals and their friends and networks.
Most of what the world know about Autism is sourced from the non-autistic “Autism Community.”
What’s the difference between Autism Advocacy and Autistic Advocacy?
Autism Advocacy (by mostly Non-Autistics) = Cure/Eugenics, ABA/Conversion Therapy, Parent-led organizations, Light It Up Blue, pseudoscience, puzzle pieces & non-Autistic advocates speaking over Autistics.
Autistic Advocacy (by Autistics & Real Allies) = Civil & Human Rights, Stigma reduction, Autistic-led organizations, Light It Up Gold, Red Instead, infinity symbol, Autistic Advocates and our Real Allies.
That’s what I’ve got so far … – Eve
