I wouldn’t be surprised if PETA was secretly funded by meat companies as a way to make the image of vegans look bad
”We asked 10 autistic people if they’d drunken milk before and 100% said yes, therefore more milk causes autism!“ - peta, probably.
Am I the only Autist who is extremely offended by people saying “this or that” causes Autism?
It’s annoying when corporations try to use the condition as a tool to further their bullshit arguments.
You are absolutely right to be offended. I have neurodivergent people in my family. I love them dearly. I wouldn’t want them to be any different. My father (likely) had autism. He was a professor who got invited to lecture at the Sorbonne and wrote something like 30 books. My brother has autism. He makes far more money than I do because he’s a really good coder and he’s happily married. Neurodivergent people can live lives as full of success and happiness (and lack of success and unhappiness) as anyone else. They just do it differently.
Acting like autism is some sort of horror that parents should fear is disgusting.
You should be offended, and PETA has been doing this forever to make people think eating animal or animal products is bad. But their assertion also implies autism is a negative thing, which is untrue.
