I saw a bus company have "Autism Awareness Week" on the front where the route number and 'via something road". How about I be aware of what bus number you are, you wankers!
As for autism pride, I don't want to powerlevel too much but autism has fucked up my life and I only now realise it cuz I'm supposed to be out there, talking to customers to get over my social anxiety and mix with normal people to...I'm not sure how to explain it, like put on a normal front until it feels more natural so I don't look like a spaz.
And when I saw that bus sign, I thought to myself that autistic people nowadays are accommodated instead of phasing out their habits. Like getting normal people to accept stimming instead of getting autistic people to no longer need to stim. I don't even know what a suitable substitute is because no one talks about discouraging stimming!
And I just remembered this autism post someone made of a kid saying, "Your routine has been disrupted by COVID? Now you know how it feels." That made me so bloody mad because of the comparison of a dumb routine to THE ENTIRE WORLD'S DISRUPTION. XD
I can't find it unfortunately. I don't remember where I saw it.
TL;DR- Even autists are anti autism pride.
