Repeat after me
Autism is not possession
Your child was not stolen from you
They are not contaminated
They are different. Their mind works differently than yours. Yes it still works. Yes it is weird. Yes it is wonderful.
Your child is not a witch. Burning their insides with proverbial fire and literal poison will not back the thing that was stolen from you.
The only thing that has been stolen from you was your humanity, the moment you looked upon your own child as anything other than exactly who they were supposed to be
And that is lost from you forever
We exist because we have to. We are the optimal solution to a problem most of you don't even see.
You can't from way up there. The solution stolen by the same reactive contagion that caused you to treat your child as a symptom to be corrected instead of a person to be understood
You see labels
We see effects
People used to be embarrassed to be this ignorant.
Now they're celebrated
