Like many #ActuallyAutistic people, I spent #WorldAutismDay criticizing the unhelpful actions of well-intentioned companies and groups. That’s important. That’s needed.
For the first time, I’ve started to receive replies of “How can we do better?” That’s a wonderful thing.

As I recently mentioned to someone “we criticize not for criticism’s sake, but because we can - and want to - help.”
Sometimes it takes years for outside protest to sink in, but I see it slowly starting to do just that. So, #ActuallyAutistic people, keep it up!

As autistic people, we should also be prepared to respond to a willingness to change due to our criticism. We should be ready to partner and willing to lead.
That day may not be fully here yet, but it is coming.
And no, I’m not referring to AS. Protest there is still key.
