White autistic and neurodivergent people we need to stop weaponizing our neurodivergency against people of color

Having hyperempathy does not absolve us from needing to actually listen to people of color when they talk about the oppression they face

Having low empathy does not mean we get to opt out of caring about and being compassionate for people of color.

Not understanding social cues does not mean we are exempt from unlearning any racist behaviors and micro-aggressions we perpetuate

Being autistic and/or neurodivergent does not mean we aren't capable of racism, that we were not raised to be racist by white society.

Many right leaning groups target privileged autistic people because we tend to be easier to manipulate due to our not picking up on red flags and our empathy levels being often an extreme.

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.
