ik i said i'm on a break but

i just found this while browsing on the hot topic website--

for context: the autism awarness puzzle piece is a symbol originally created by the organisation Autism Speaks, which treats autistic ppl like shit. their goal is to, quote, ''ultimately eradicate autism for the sake of future generations.'' they also compared autism with deadly diseases. its also getting criticized for the fact that they put the focus of the work not on autistic ppl, but on parents and their hurdles. they treat autism purely deficiently.

also the puzzle piece clearly implies that autistic ppl have ''a missing piece''

both is just.. yikes..
