  1. Each April is autism acceptance month, those of us on the spectrum need to keep advocating for those who do not have a voice, to be their voice.
    We all need to do our part to object ableist hate groups that practice eugenics regardless what location we reside in (country, province, state, village, town, city, etc.).

  2. I've had this floating in the data hoard for awhile, and it's about that time of year again, so here it is for anyone who might need it.

  4. If your Autistic child, friend, partner, family member, etc seems "dramatic" due to their routine being disrupted, they're not. It is truly world breaking for them when it happens. It feels awful. And it isn't their fault. Have patience, and take it a step at a time.

  6. I've gotten some dark threats just for liking candy corn. Some people take the food wars thing too far, especially for people not wanting to be involved.
    I'm okay personally with lighthearted joking with folks I know. But I've met some MEAN people who use it to justify outrageous bullying and said I deserve to get bullied.

  8. You can notice a stereotype or two of autism in some TV shows, books, movies and more. These depictions cause more harm than people (especially Americans) want to admit. #autism #autistic #mercury #oc #originalcharacter #red #actuallyautistic #autismacceptance #redinstead #auctober #auctober2025

  9. When my husband & I first started watching Miraculous Ladybug, we were sure it was just going to be utterly ridiculous and not worth continuing. Well, we continued & the show gets DEEP. We got soooo hooked we've rewatched it three times now, and there's plenty of seasons left to be made still. It's also very inclusive, especially season 6. 🌈

  10. I just had an idea I’d like to share with the @actuallyautistic community:

    August could be a new Autism Acceptance Month, by and for #Autistic people, with no harmful messaging usually spread during April.

    Plus, “August” and “Autistic” both start with “Au”, the chemical symbol for gold, a colour often used to oppose Autism Speaks’ blue campaign, along with #RedInstead. (Plus, gold is opposite blue on the colour wheel, too!)

    What do you think?

    Hate groups do not like seeing this at all. Let's show autism speaks the door.

  12. it's autism acceptance month y'all <3 much love to my autistic siblings!

    remember to NOT light it up blue, #RedInstead

  13. Happy World Autism Awareness/Acceptance Day, and the start of Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month! Remember that Autism Speaks is a hate group, and you can show your support for actual autistic people by wearing #RedInstead!

  14. This #AutismAcceptanceMonth, I'm lighting up my website and Mastodon server *red* in support of the #RedInstead movement – a movement by and for #ActuallyAutistic people to celebrate #Autism and to counter Autism Speaks' "light it up blue" campaign.

    Autism Speaks is a horrible organisation that abuses and speaks over autistic people. Let's counter their blue lights, puzzle pieces, and ableist "defecit" propaganda. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs!

  16. Here Is My Infinity Shirt that I got for today, it’s with the wording: “Acceptance is the cure” with the infinity symbol with the wording love and the #redinstead because that is what we are looking for and what we want, to be accepted in society as well as being included in society #autisticprideday #autismacceptance #actuallyautistic

  17. Autism Speaks is a Hate Group Who acts like they actually care about the wellbeing of autistic people but they give harmful and negative rhetoric about autistic people and the autistic people. Listen to actual autistic people and positive autistic ran organizations! #boycottautismspeaks #redinstead #actuallyautistic #listentoautisticpeople

  18. Happy #AutismAcceptanceMonth!

    This April, I'm lighting it up #RedInstead to counter #AutismSpeaks' "Light it up Blue" campaign. Autism Speaks has a horrible history of:

    • Supporting Applied Behavioural Analysis (abuses #Autistic children to make them "normal");
    • Endorsed the Judge Rotenburg Center which the UN condemned for torture;
    • Use most of their budget for lobbying and researching ways to "cure" autism;
    • Have ad campaigns calling #Autism a "burden" and a "disease".

  19. CW: Mention of Autism Speaks, gif/mp4 with flashing lights

    Company that supposedly serves disabled people, on LinkedIn: (links to the Autism Speaks website despite using the word "neurodiverse" in their post)

    Me, to housemate: "So, I'm about to start some shit on LinkedIn..."

  20. So for #AutismAcceptanceMonth:

    • Support organisations ran by and for #Autistic people, like the #AutisticSelfAdvocacyNetwork (#ASAN);

    • Do not discriminate against autistic people – accomodate, listen, and understand their needs;

    • Don't support Autism Speaks or use their puzzle piece symbolism or the colour blue;

    • Opt for #RedInstead, #LightItUpGold, and red/gold/rainbow infinity loops, the symbol of neurodiversity;

    and most importantly:

    • Listen to and uplift #ActuallyAutistic voices!

  21. 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
