If you want to show love for autistics, @Sia, you need to use your platform to correct this misinformation, and to ensure that your millions of followers are aware of the dangers of, and are encouraged to join the pushback against, the use of such restraint on autistic people.
It won't remove all the harm that's been done, but it'd be a damned good start that could actually help people. Use your influence and power in a way that helps us to mitigate future harm. It's the right thing to do.
For example, here is a campaign in Scotland against these types of restraints, which people can get involved in or use as a basis for their own activism on this: enable.org.uk/insafehands/
This is a coalition of organisations in the US telling the stories of people who have suffered from being restrained in this way, and campaigning against it: stophurtingkids.com
