Okay so Elon is dropping a pipe bomb onto Twitter I guess
Update: Now that it’ll let me actually look at tweets here’s the confirmation
Update: Elon might be lying
This is so funny. Twitter is dying. Reddit is imploding. Tumblr remains.
It shocks me how many people don’t realise that the autism spectrum isn’t this:
That is in fact a very outdated and in many ways insulting…
THIS IS WHAT THE SPECTRUM IS:
And it is actually incorrect to say “well everyone is somewhere on the spectrum”
Someone may show traits that are associated with autism but that doesn’t mean they are on the spectrum but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are autistic,
Just like someone who is autistic may show traits of people who are neurotypical.
When I am speaking to friends who may use incorrect language or may have outdated information of what the spectrum is, I explain to them why it is important to change how we view and talk about being neurotypical. None of them are intentionally being offensive and are often happy to get a better understanding. It’s always important to be open to changing how we view something so that everyone is able to feel accepted and understood; therefore if there is any information or something I’ve said that is offensive, incorrect or even if you have a different perspective than me, please let me know as I only want to be respectful of others and am always willing to see other people reasons for their views.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
