It was like...
voice-verified
here you go, make sure that you put this bumper sticker, autism awareness.
voice-verified
And it was like a puzzle piece, light it up blue, things like that.
voice-verified
So awareness basically comes from the idea of the existence of autism, right?
voice-verified
It was like saying, hey, autism is a thing and I want you to be aware of it.
voice-verified
And the thing that people, the criticism with just awareness is that it would focus on
voice-verified
the negative aspects of autism and it would frame the language around autism in a negative way.
voice-verified
It was all deficits based on the medical model type language, right?
voice-verified
So it's been going on since the early 60s.
voice-verified
And so...
voice-verified
When it was about autism awareness, it was basically saying, hey, we're going to be aware.
voice-verified
Now there's all these deficits with autistic people.
voice-verified
Why don't we push for campaigning and promoting awareness of autism so we can get funding to try to find a cure so we can get funding to try to create therapy to fix people?
voice-verified
And the belief behind that was that autism was a problem that needed to be solved.
voice-verified
It was like as if autistic people were a burden to society.
voice-verified
So the whole campaign has been based on a negative viewpoint of autism.
voice-verified
So what it did was it exacerbated the stigma itself.
voice-verified
It excluded people.
voice-verified
It definitely didn't drive towards inclusion, right?
voice-verified
It didn't embrace neurodiversity.
