the mods of r/autism banned me for repeatedly calling them out on their bullshit bc they wouldn't address it. It's incredible, no matter the neurotype, mods are always the same hypocritical powertripped manchildren who never take accountability bc they think they are god for managing a subreddit. I pity them really, and i can proudly say that for all that is worth, that even if i have my problems at least I'm not one of those pathetic slobs.

Eugenicist community that treats autism like a plague that ruins the lives of parents and everyone the autistic person comes into contact with.

Speaks over actual autistic people in favor of a “cure” instead of treating autistic people like, well, people. The Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) is a much better foundation.

Just like with any marginalized/disability oriented community: “Nothing about us without us.” Autism Speaks violates that rule aggressively.
