Pretty much the same energy when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that there were no homosexuals in Iran and was laughed at promptly after.
Had this convo with an older coworker and he said it was common for parents that couldn’t handle their kids ( meaning they didn’t parent) to get a doc to medicate them. He had a friend who would be energetic and funny first 2 hours, then go to the nurse and become a zombie for the rest of the day.
oh boy, manmade horrors well within my comprehension!
Unfortunately autistic kids still today, because knowing that autism exists and is much more common than previously realised hasn’t really stopped anyone, but rather just gives ableists more opportunities to express their ableism.
My AUTISTIC MOM told me this. I understand what she means but like 😭
I was odd and a nerd ( geek, dork, spaz, weird, etc.) and a prime target for bullies. Gen-X
I was also gay when gay meant generically contemptable. As we were in grade school, few of us had figured out actual state of gayness.
You left out dweeb.
I forgot several of them. Yes. The etc. is doing some heavy lifting.

I’m honestly not sure what the point of your story is, if anything, it was a surprisingly good result that the teacher was removed and the child wasn’t abused any further, and quite gross that the protest was against this happening. Sounds like you agree with the protestors and were not happy with that result and think the child should have been subjected to even more scrutiny? Which is an odd point to try and make around a group of autistic people talking about being abused by schools and other institutions.
Literally last month an autistic kid was arrested and suspended for a “bomb threat” AFTER all they found his bag was a stuffed toy.

a otherly-able (I hope this is a okay descriptor)
No, it’s not ok. Disabled is the word you are looking for.
