Autism actually can make people violent and aggressive, and Iβm tired of βautism advocatesβ saying it canβt. Many autistic people, especially higher support needs people lose control of their bodies during meltdowns and times of high emotion. Some autistics have limited control of their bodies at all times. This body brain disconnect is a prevalent associative feature of autism. This is not to say that measures shouldnβt be taken to protect and teach the autistic person and others, but you canβt erase real, but stigmatized parts of a condition, and then dare to call yourself an advocate. Just because a symptom is unpleasant or unpalatable doesnβt mean itβs not a genuine part of the disorder. Stop βcleansingβ your autism advocacy.
and when people acknowledge it they treat it as an Evil Boy Thing which. no. autistic girls (and autistic people considered girls by these sort of people) do it all the time you just donβt acknowledge their existence.
