🧵 1/6 IMPORTANT INFO FOR AUTISTIC PEOPLE: Mining personal info about autistics from many sources is on. Each of us needs to contact EVERY provider, insurance, every doctor, our pharmacies if your child is on medication. If your child has a Medicaid waiver…
:::::PLEASE RT::::

2/6…contact your care coordinator, also contact your child’s school. EVERY person who works w/your autistic child and is aware they are autistic, must be contacted individually and told they do NOT have your consent to share your child’s info for any research from ANY entity.

3/6 If you are an autistic adult, the same holds. Contact all who are aware you are an autistic person, esp the facility that did your screening. If you’re safe & not masking at work, tell your employer you do not give consent for any info to be shared about you for research.

4/6 Also contact your private medical insurance company. If you are on any kind of federal or state aid or program, esp if you listed being autistic in your application, contact them and tell them they do not have your consent to share your personal info w/anyone for any reason.

5/6 Nothing good comes to autistics allowing ourselves to be catalogued, watched & examined like rats in a lab. Below is a slide from the NIH data mining slide deck for HHS. This is on. It’s not a drill. We MUST resist.
They WILL accept our existence or expect our resistance.

6/6 What we will NOT be doing is to help these people who are resolutely opposed to the existence of 168 million autistic people worldwide, add our names or info to some kind of eugenics registry. We will NOT be eradicated. We are NOT broken.

This is not a drill. This is WAR
