Judge Rotenberg Center, a residential institution that uses shock torture to modify behavior on high support needs ID and DD people, is threatening to silence autistic voices speaking loudly against shock torture. Are they also going to sue the UN, who also said they use torture?
The time is now to stop torturing people who are autistic, and all other kinds of neurodivergent people. Then when we speak out against torture of higher support needs NDs, the threats and abuse come. They don’t see neurodivergent people as human beings worthy of compassion.
JRC threatened a defamation suit against an all autistic blog who dared to speak out against their abuses & torture. Now NDs are wrapping our arms around @NeuroClastic and saying #JRCsueMeToo We won’t be silenced, nor stand down. If you want us to shut up, STOP TORTURING CHILDREN

I’ve heard this said about my son on more than one occasion, “he seems to think he can do what he wants, and doesn’t have to do something if he doesn’t want to.”
Um, well, yes.
He’s a human being after all, with free will and autonomy.

Certainly all of our actions have consequences, and I mean naturally-occurring consequences, not adult-imposed punishments.

For the victims of institutional violence, and especially if you’re autistic and do not understand the source of the hatred that gets directed at you or how people can even imagine such cruelty, the physical abuse is often not the worst.(cont) #StopTheShock #JRCSueMeToo
It is the terror—the abject torture— of not knowing when. You have to be hyper aware of everyone’s moods at all times and try to adjust your behavior to their unpredictable ire that seems to come from somewhere you’ve never accessed. We talk a lot about the electroshocks at JRC.
But the spaces between the shocks, 24 hours a day strapped to a torture device and being around people tasked with using it to control you— that’s the unrelenting anxiety that will cause you to lose yourself and come unglued. It’s neverending.
