WTF are they talking about? I've known lots of autistic people who lead very normal lives... I suspect the person who wrote this "rant" is either an edgy teenager or a basement dwelling neckbeard who believed himself capable of "curing" one of his lesbian friends
I am difficult at times. So are you people. But I found love and so did or will you too (yes, even you Steffan). The point I’m trying to make is: It doesn’t matter how broken we are, we are more human than this hate filled person ever will be.
"a community full of well-adjusted people with high-functioning asd who can integrate into society commandeers the term asd"
like i don't have an opinion on the post but i fucking knew this place was full of shit
Fuck Reddit
Antinatalist here - the rhetoric in that post is horrible, and is not representative of antinatalism as a whole.
Antinatalism isn’t the belief that a certain group shouldn’t reproduce - it’s that nobody should. The world is fucked, and nonconsensually bringing anyone into it is morally reprehensible. It’s not eugenics, it’s voluntary extinctionism.
For the people that have been born, however, everyone deserves respect and equity. Ableism, or any other kind of discrimination, is just wrong, and makes you a shitty person. Just like the person who made that post.
