But I I was telling Asher and my husband about this article I had read and it I think I even pulled it up on my phone and the headline was something associating the risks of being autistic with I think it was maybe Pitocin, I don't know, it was something in childbirth.
podcast-host
And he cut me off and he's like the risks.
podcast-host
What do you mean the risks?
podcast-host
What do they think it is?
podcast-host
A disease and Yeah.
podcast-host
Good point, Ash.
podcast-host
Good point.

You know, and all that language, you know, as soon as I see that word epidemic or any of that kind of language, I'm instantly they've lost me.
podcast-host
Um, I think that's harmful.
podcast-host
Oh my goodness.
podcast-host
Yeah.
podcast-host
I mean it's the parents who are terrified that that might happen to their child.
podcast-host
It's the parents of neurotypical kids who are so grateful it didn't happen to their child and it perpetuates this idea that it's a negative thing and and then it's autistic people themselves who feel marginalized every time it's used.
podcast-host
That's really upsetting to hear and not surprising at the same time.
podcast-host
So I'm curious actually then about the response among the autism community.
podcast-host
I I told you in when I first invited you on the podcast that when the book arrived, my son I opened the Amazon package and he stole it from me before I had a chance to start reading
podcast-host
And um he
podcast-host
loved the book and, you know, was really insightful, it was super inspiring and parts of it were really difficult for him to kind of grapple with as he learned more about his tribe and the history um of autistic people and how they've been treated.
podcast-host
But
podcast-host
How as the autism community as a whole responded to both your book and then you as an advocate for the community?
