Episode 81- Why the month of April can be exhausting for autistic advocates
Unpacking Neuroqueerness by George Muniz Gund and Xenia Rakovshik
Episode notes
In this episode I talk about how exhausting April can be for advocates like myself, as neurotypical led organizations such as "Autism Speaks" promote eugenics research and conversion therapies through their "Autism Awareness" campaigns, pretending to care about the wellbeing of autistic folks, while speaking over them and vilifying their disabilty, rather than focusing on making society more accomodating.
