I am really truly sorry that the poem upset people and I didn't like it.
But I am so so so furious that the thread has been deleted and I wonder what is next...if someone writes a post saying that they are upset with their child's autism dx, is that deleted as disablist? If I write a post saying that I hate something to do with what autism does to my son, will that be deleted?
Like I said on that thread, one person's reality is not another's. One person's autism is not another's. To ban anything that dares to suggest that autism can actually be quite shit just seems to me to make those who find it hard to cope with feel like they're weak or stupid not to celebrate the great joy that is autism.
Or maybe it's me that is wrong to find this wrong, and to find life really quite hard at times and to dislike the fact that autism, in my son (who is really quite high-functioning) causes really quite horrible things, like suicide attempts and stabbing others and self-harm.
Maybe I should just celebrate all that and keep on smiling smiling smiling, and tell anyone who dares say anything negative about autism that they're wrong, because it's all fine and perfect.
But I can't do that, so I guess I'm not welcome on here anymore. So on an SN thread for parents, we can't dislike anything about our children's SN
