#AbleistRapeCulture when scarcity of caregivers is given as a reason to ‘give that person another chance’

[Amelia E Voicy Baggs 🌲💧❤️🏳️‍🌈 @myceliorum]

#AbleistRapeCulture when the choice is either die from lack of care or accept violations few other ppl wld tolerate

[RealSocialSkills @rsocialskills]

#CW #AbleistRapeCulture when training children with disabilities to say "I love you" is a higher priority than teaching them how to say "yes" and "no".

[RealSocialSkills @rsocialskills]

CW #AbleistRapeCulture:
When people argue for non-consensually sterilizing disabled women on the grounds that they're likely to be raped. As though infertility does anything to prevent rape. As though one sexual violation justifies another.

[Amelia E Voicy Baggs 🌲💧❤️🏳️‍🌈 @myceliorum]

#AbleistRapeCulture when enforced random hugging (esp. among ppl with developmental disabilities) is trained and mandatory

[RealSocialSkills @rsocialskills]

That's *also* #AbleistRapeCulture. The idea that disabled people have no sexual agency is incredibly dangerous on a number of levels. https://t.co/B8aK7RDBKh

Every teacher or therapist who teaches non-speaking autistic children should read this entire research paper, written by a non-speaking teenager, Emma Zurcher-Long. This should be mandatory.

@FindHelpSA This is only for people with money, right? Not for someone who is struggling to get food but unable to get a disability grant because bipolar people rarely get grants, and because clinics can't diagnose Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome?

@AutismSAfrica How many of the "expert advisors" are autistic?

@AutismSAfrica If you call him inspirational, then be inspired to change your beliefs and actions. Take a 180 degree turn. Listen to what he says helped.

[ASCape @ASCape]

@AutismSAfrica Whenever you hold events along with ABA people, you are going against the words of people like Ido. There are thousands like him.

[ASCape @ASCape]

@AutismSAfrica And he is clear about why ABA (which some of your members use) is not helpful. Start standing up for autistic people's rights against that.
