@MrDenmore Personally, I consider electing Liberals basically the same as electing republicans + a bunch of aussies are super into trump and dear old Pauline so... I'd say my overall reaction would be:
@llamalluv It's part of the whole ableist narrative of autistic people being "broken"
Calling ABA therapy is like is like saying conversion therapy is too

@llamalluv It's not the mess; they'd be fine w/this if the "broken" kid spread the tiny toys all over the floor like someone had upended a box of Lego. Their issue is they think the kid's play is "wrong" *because* they aren't, to their eyes, playing with them like a "normal" kid "should"
@resistredaction Ah yes the one-size-fits-all 'Have you tried just not being bullied?' approach, subtype 'it's clearly your fault for not being neurotypical' -.-
(been there, done that (undiagnosed) also wish I had stabbed them with a fork, just on general principle)
So much of folks' stances on issues boil down to one of the following:
"A bad thing happened to me & I got through it so I want to make sure it doesn't happen to other people"
vs
"A bad thing happened to me & I got through it so I insist everyone else go through it too"
@Karnythia @emilylhauser I'm so tired of calls to coddle and cajole racists. We spent the 20th century doing that. It doesn't work. Make it socially and economically unacceptable to be racist. They aren't victims and we shouldn't treat them like they are.
@Karnythia@goldietaylor That is the right question, especially since the Trump supporters are not apologizing or calling for unity. Their position continues to be "F*ck your feelings."
I applaud your position that we need to empathize and reconcile with victims of white supremacy.
I have a question, why amidst all these calls for empathy & reconciliation is none of the concern for the people impacted by white supremacy? Where is the effort to humanize the victims of hate?
