Kid: Tells an adult they are getting bullied.
Adults: Post this online and bully the kid more.
Yea that's a pretty good summary of what being autistic is like...

Things grown adults are saying about this child:
"Square ass"
"Smart ass"
And most common - "snitch."
The mixed messages adults give kids about bullying and telling adults,
With the implicit message that you should not do it or else you're "weak"
Is huge.

People are even saying this kid should be spanked or whipped for "snitching."
Noting his "strange" body language and how he ended the conversation. Saying he must have other motives.
This is why and how autistic black boys go to prison for doing nothing criminal.

Those judgments and praying on vulnerable, honest human beings
is why #MatthewRushin was in prison and still has absurd probation restrictions.
Why people are still fighting for justice for #OsimeBrown
Why many autistic black people are never given the benefit of the doubt.

Autism is not white. Disability is not white. Yet our society continues to treat disability like people of color cannot be disabled when they are more likely to be disabled than white people in the US.
Whether or not that child in the video is autistic is irrelevant:
Because this is how society treats disabled black people.
With ruthless insults and bullying.

I likely got some things wrong in this thread, and if I did, feel free to correct me, reply, or QT this thread with your own thoughts and I will boost.
People are laughing about this person "diagnosing" a kid as autistic.
They forget that most "professionals" misdiagnose autistic black people with Oppositional Defiance Disorder and think autism only exists in white people.
It's very unlikely an autistic PoC is diagnosed.
