Dude aside from the wack implication that you can develop autism, this is super fuckin... Like i dont wanna say ableist cause i dont view autism as a disability. obviously it can be but literally anything severe enough can be a disability, but i digress. This ad is just super fuckin agressive to people on the spectrum for no reason. I knew peta was bad but goddamn

Ableism and Autism
Well, it's a disorder, it's right in the name.
If people "liked" it, they wouldn't be taking meds to help them function.
I'm not hating, just think we should take things for what they are

A subset are disabled many because of how society has treated them.
