Recently, I decided to watch the new Autism Speaks documentary “Sounding the Alarm: Battling the Autism Epidemic” and live tweet my reaction/outrage in real time.
Why did I do this?
Well, I had seen clips of the documentary. I’d heard some feedback that was concerning. I know that many of my friends wanted to watch but were afraid to. I think it is quite telling when a group called Autism Speaks puts out a documentary that Autistic people are afraid to watch. I wanted to watch it because I wanted to know what was being said about us, without us. Again.
