Being an autistic person with the lgbtq+ has never been easy but reverently within the past decade there has been an increase of anti-autism ableism within the community.
We are often not believed when we talk about our identities being infantilised or asked if we’re really sure and we’re not just confused.
Another issue that has increased within the community is us being blamed for our community’s loss of rights, watch any video of “why I’m ashamed to be lgbtq+” it is always targeted at people who show clear autistic symptoms.
The lgbtq+ cannot move forward with this recent attitude the core value of our movement has always been about being yourself and fighting for a better society something that seems to be forgotten by our community.
