I Think Taking Advantage of And Using Autistic People Should Be Considered a Hate Crime

enflores3000

I’m sorry but I do. In a way it’s discrimination because it’s using someone’s disability to your advantage and how is that any different than when Africans were being taken advantage of and used because of slavery because of their skin? Both are wrong and discriminatory. I mean think about it, it’s well known Autistic people because of our lack of understanding a lot of social cues and norms, who’ve been gaslight, and endured abuse to the point of being unable to trust our own instincts are very easy targets for narcissists and used and taken advantage of by people because they can use us missing social cues and norms as a manipulation tactic.

So yeah, I honestly think that using and taking advantage of Autistic people should be considered a hate crime. I think it would very much improve and help Autistic people.

  • Having carefully read through all of the responses to this question on this thread, given my own lived life experiences as an older Irish gay man living in the U.K. 22 years, active on both the gay scene and in non-profit parts of the gay world, from a traditional Rural Irish Catholic background, recently diagnosed later in life and having worked in supermarkets for 30 years as a traditional Irish Catholic, I consider this to be a most interesting and highly relevant question. On balance, I consider it to be true for many of us with autism even before we were diagnosed and this question is in some ways even more relevant for all of us in the post Covid era, where our world has changed so rapidly and fundamentally in the space of 4 years alone. While I personally believe that our only way out of our current situation is a return to traditional moral and social values, as I believe that so many of us have been programmed in so many ways since the 1960’s and since Vatican II, given some of the emotional based responses to this question, so many of us cannot come to terms with the fact that we have been brainwashed, mind-controlled, manipulated, indoctrinated and taken advantage of in many other ways during our lifetimes even before our diagnosis - I know that for myself, the experience of Covid has been an emotional roller-coaster as I have witnessed the rapid changes happening to our world in ways that I was not even aware of in my teens
