Hey! Look! Some of our community’s awesome autistic activists helped shut down bullshit about autism with host Dylan Marron!

Nice work, everyone involved! It’s a good show of what can happen when we speak up and say, “Hey, this is super one-sided and doesn’t represent us fairly or adequately!” So I’d also like to say good job to everyone who reacted to the earlier vid that Dylan Marron created about autism, and influenced this video, which is a follow-up with four autistic people who share their experiences. 

As a queer person of color, I have been told all my life that I will never play the romantic lead, and that’s fucked up. When they say that, what they’re actually telling you is that your love story doesn’t exist.
