"Profound Autism" & Anti-Neurodiversity

Who wants "profound autism"? Where is this push to "return to two diagnoses" coming from? And who gets to speak? What looks like a simple administrative term is becoming part of the attacks against neurodivergent self-advocacy: the term itself makes little sense, the people calling for it are untrustworthy & it won't do anything to help autistic people with higher support needs...so why is it suddenly everywhere? I look at some of the things that parents of autistic kids are being told, by organizations & individuals who are always at the center of the discussion. This video was supposed to be an unscripted reaction to an article, but as I researched, I realized I needed to expose where this stuff is coming from, to share the things I saw. This is a critical time for disabled rights. RFK Jr & the MAHA movement will have consequences around the world. There are some powerful people out there who would love for you to distrust disabled self-advocacy, especially right now. RESOURCES DOCUMENT: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M...
