Some people think that autistic people can’t understand things like marriage and sex and we shouldn’t be allowed to date, get married, or have kids. ASAN believes that every autistic person has the right to find love, marry, have sex, and have children. autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/wha…

ABA is never okay, and neither is torturing disabled people. #StopTheShock and stop platforming the JRC. #ABAIBoston #ABAI2022
Hey, #ABAIBoston. Listen to the autistic people you claim to serve. Deplatform the Judge Rotenberg Center from #ABAI2022 and help #StopTheShock. More information here: autisticadvocacy.org/stoptheshock/
The UN called the use of the GED "torture" in 2013. Five years ago, the FDA said the GED should be banned. The JRC still uses the GED on disabled folks. Why are torturers presenting at your conference?? #ABAIBoston #ABAI2022
@autselfadvocacy thanks for the sample posts, very useful!
The JRC is presenting at the ABAI conference in Boston about their use of electric shocks! Let’s flood their conference hashtags #ABAIBoston #ABAI2022, w/ the truth about #StopTheShocknd and demand that ABAI denounce the JRC. autisticadvocacy.org/2022/05/action…
