Stop passing the unperson ball

madeofpatterns:

Forms of passing the unperson ball that really need to stop:

  • Autistics who can speak saying they’re high functioning and therefore shouldn’t have been eugenically aborted, unlike broken ~low functioning~ people
  • People with autism who can’t speak saying they’re just stuck in uncooperative bodies but they don’t have cognitive problems relating to people, unlike those soulless aspies
  • Autistics going out of their way to emphasize that they don’t have a mental illness
  • People with physical disabilities going out of their way to emphasize that they don’t have cognitive or intellectual disabilities
  • any number of other forms

Just don’t do it. Seriously. We’re all people.

    When we are busy passing that ball, it’s time we could better spend learning how to work in coalition.
