    I agree with 90% of this stuff, but the condescension really really doesn't help, and is itself kinda ableist in the demands it places on people to listen to you and engage. it just comes off as old school tumblr holier than thou 'activism'

        yeah that shit is dehumanising and extremely fucked up honestly, easily worst part of that thread. I am autistic and I can tell you, we do in fact feel empathy, for some people who are less functioning it can be harder for them to understand but that does not mean that they do not feel empathy

          Yeah exactly. And they failed to mention a ton of seriously ableist language. Just from personal experience, stuff like calling people with spinal conditions Quasimodo or hunchback of Notre dame, etc for one. As a list of ableist language it's not great
