    I had no idea blue was associated with autism, so I dug around a bit. Here's a very enjoyable rant against the #LightItUpBlue campaign & the charity #AutismSpeaks, by #YoSamdySam. #ActuallyAutistic

  4. This #AutismAcceptanceMonth, as an #ActuallyAutistic person, I'll be lighting it up #RedInstead in protest of #AutismSpeaks.

    They have a history of harmful messaging of #Autistic people being "costly burdens", and that #Autism is an "epidemic" that needs to be "cured".

    #RedInstead counteracts the #LightItUpBlue campaign of #AutismSpeaks, and empowers #Autistic people everywhere that we are not burdens, we are not "puzzles" to be "solved", and there is nothing wrong with us! #ActuallyAutistic
