#autisticrights — Public Fediverse posts

After months of thinking through this, I concluded that this will do more good for the world than bad. Especially for children on the autism spectrum whose futures I am concerned about.

Here is my story that spearheaded my disdain for ABA as a treatment for autistic children and my fight for autism rights and children's rights.

I am hosting a race and documentary to spread awareness against ABA in November.

Benevolent Ableism is a very real growing problem around ABA and it's infringing of autism/human rights these days....

I invite any of you who advocate for ABA or who believe behavioral modification is acceptable for autistic and special needs individuals to look at these two pictures. This is Isaiah Tremell and his sister, Alexia, alongside a very young Kirk Murphy, who took his own life in 2003 after enduring conversion therapy under Dr. Ole Ivar Lovaas—the founder of ABA.

#Autistic woman wrongly locked up in mental health hospital for 45 years

by Carolyn Atkinson and Ben Robinson, March 4, 2025

"An autistic woman with a learning disability was wrongly locked up in a mental health hospital for 45 years, starting when she was just seven years old, the BBC has learned.

"The woman, who is believed to be originally from Sierra Leone, and who was given the name Kasibba by the local authority to protect her identity, was also held on her own in long-term segregation for 25 years.

"Kasibba is non-verbal and had no family to speak up for her. A clinical psychologist told File on 4 Investigates how she had begun a nine-year battle to release her.

"The Department of Health and Social Care told the BBC it was unacceptable that so many disabled people were still being held in mental health hospitals and said it hoped reforms to the Mental Health Act would prevent inappropriate detention."

Very worth reading: #Autism research is, to put it diplomatically, mostly crap. #Autistic people are routinely shut out of #research and their own views ignored, while well-meaning but clueless #neurotypical scientists continue to promote the #ableist idea that autism is something that needs to be cured.

Time to attempt a pinned toot about myself.

I have been seeking Aut-ID for a few years. I'm an ex-school non-attender with poor experiences of CAMHS. Seeking ID is a way of gaining closure from services' neglect and achieving some stability and support.

I am thankful for #ActuallyAutistic insights like monotropism and double empathy and hope that this is the last century in which anti-Autistic bigotry and allistic supremacy is tolerated and supported by society.
