Reblogging to spread the word, cause evidence shows that Autism $peaks are classic horror movie villains.

Reblogging because I’ve always wondered who to support instead of AS.

To every friend of mine who reblogs this, thank you. It means I can trust you. ❤

I hate sports and I usually don’t care who wins or loses, but as an autistic person, France winning the World Cup genuinely bothers me.

France is one of the most nationalist countries in the world. They even refuse to learn other languages because they think they’re so great. And now they have yet another excuse to jerk off and celebrate their blind nationalism.

Meanwhile, French autistic children are being forcefully removed from their parents and shoved into freezers. Some of them has died in these freezers. The ones who survived has been forced to live in shitty psych wards for the rest of their lives. French autistic children are not allowed in public school and the vast majority of autistic adults are unemployed because of job discrimination.

This shit is happening because France is too blinded by nationalism to question their own government. And now France is being celebrated more than ever before. Their nationalism is growing even stronger.

This… worries me.

wait what the FUCK

I never knew about the freezer thing, God, this is fucking horrible. What the actual fuck

It’s a disgusting pseudoscience they call “packing”. They wrap small autistic children in wet blankets and put them in freezers for a while. They think autism is caused by unloving mothers and that this process somehow reduces the autism. At least three children has died and thousands has developed serious heart problems. There are probably a lot more deaths that the government simply covered up, as they have shut down and threatened to sue anyone who made documentaries about it.

Okay I did some research because there wasn’t a link

How Independence Day Clothing Is Reinventing the Way Children With Autism Get Dressed

Fashion and technology converge for all the right reasons.

Clothing that can be worn backwards, frontwards, inside out… It is an alternative for Autistic youths – it has no tags or seams and won’t cause issues because it will be on correctly, no matter how they are put on.
