How is it that people will say “I have a friend/sibling/child who is autistic and they are so amazing and smart and unique the way they are” in one sentence and follow it up imediately with “donate/support XYZ foundation and help find a cure for autism today!”

I know allistics tend to not handle the logic thing so well, but do they really not see the inconsistency here?  Do they really not get how those two statements are mutually exclusive?

You can’t support an autistic person and claim that there is nothing wrong with them and want to cure autism at the same time.  It doesn’t work that way.  You don’t get to say there is nothing wrong with your “token autistic” while advocating the destruction of who they are.

Please….  gods.  At the VERY LEAST show a bit of logical consistency.  If you hate autism, just say so and be open about hating autistic people.  If you support us then do so fully.  I would rather you just out yourself as a monstrous asshole than try to straddle the fence.

Oh, and nobody had better even DARE to respond to this with a “you can hate the disease while still loving the person who suffers from it” bullshit line.
