josh susser<p>OK, so this RFKjr attack on autistic people is terrible and demands a response. But the response can't be only to go on the defensive, because then all we can do is try to lose ground more slowly. We need to go on offense and fight for expansion of autistic rights and protections. This is the moment for it because people are paying attention, and we might be able to turn that into support for positive change. Look at all the support there is for trans rights and protections now, largely in response to government actions against trans folk. We could do that, too.</p><p>I can think of a thing or two to push for: 1) Ban ABA. 2) Ban electric shock torture at Judge Rotenberg Center.</p><p>What else would be a good goal to fight for to expand autistic rights and protections? What about expanding support for us, or having any support at all for autistic adults? What changes do we want in schools? What about having texting available as an alternative for all public phone-based systems? I don't know what makes sense, but I want to hear if you have an idea.</p><p>But banning ABA would be amazing and if we got nothing else out of this moment that would be enough for me. Who would be a good leader for this effort? Do we need an autistic celebrity spokesperson? And does anyone have a "talk to your electeds about banning ABA starter kit?"<br><a href="https://autistics.life/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/AutisticRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AutisticRights</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/BanABA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BanABA</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/StopTheShock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopTheShock</span></a></p>
