Regarding meltdowns and Sia's toxic ableism:

I'm autistic and yet I haven't had a meltdown for five years now. Because I have control of my life and almost 100% control of my environment. I'm the only human in my very nice, comfy apartment...

1/x #ActuallyAutistic

I have enough money to buy everything I need. I work from home, on my own, doing work that interests me. All while having plenty of time for rest and leisure.

Meltdowns are not an inevitable part of being autistic...

2/x

Meltdowns are caused by one or more of the following:

Sensory overload
Unpredictable situations
Emotionally upsetting situations

If an autistic person can control their life and environment, meltdown triggers disappear.

It's never an autistic person's fault. Meltdowns are a response to other people and society being hostile and cruel toward #ActuallyAutistic people.

So what does that ableist scumbag Sia endorse?!

Crush and smother an autistic person in distress! Don't consider their thoughts and feelings, they aren't people! Instead, violently crush them! To injury, trauma, and possible death!

5/x

The problems associated with being autistic are responses to a hostile, ableist world. Years of emotional trauma. And it could all be avoided.

Fuck you Sia, for "teaching" the world that autistic people in distress deserve violence.
