This is very very true. The idea of high or low “functioning” simply means “able to function as a neurotypical.” It’s “how well do we blend in?” and not “how able are we to live our lives and/or be happy?”

Those ideas came from eugenics. call it what it is - capable of producing capitalistic value or not. Now you’re addressing the way society values human life, not creating a false dichotomy that devalues it further” /end]

Friendly reminder that there are 750 Quileute. Seven Hundred and Fifty. Think. For reference- how big was your middle school? (around that, maybe?) I think we tend not to understand how personal their inclusion in Twilight was. Smeyer took advantage of them. She's rich off of them and their culture. She exploited and misrepresented them. Seven hundred and fifty people. She could look each one of them in the eye and apologize in one afternoon and instead, she sits on 125 million dollars as if her hands are tied.
