Show Notes

For this episode, as we approach Autism Acceptance Month, I give a brief history "Autism awareness month" and explain why many autistics (including myself) prefer to say "Awareness and Acceptance" and how non-autistic people can be good allies and help make the world more accommodating to autistic folks, instead of pushing "cures" and "treatments", which are rooted in the old ableist eugenics narrative of Hans Asperger and the hate group "Autism Speaks" (tune in to Episode 14 of this podcast if you'd like to learn more about why you shouldn't support this organization and who to support instead).
