Please just GTFO]

Seriously, I’ve had enough of this. The tags listed as relating to autism should have something, somehow, to do with autism, even if its a different but similar diagnosis. Katy Perry doesn’t have jack all to do with autism and I do not give half a flying rat’s ass that she sang with that autistic girl. 

You know what’s happening here? A bunch of allistic people are flooding the autism tag with this video, and many of them are accompanying it with insulting remarks, talking about how if you don’t cry over it you don’t have a soul. I haven’t watched Night of Too Many Stars, but what I do know is this: It’s apparently not teaching anyone that just because autistic people don’t always express their emotions the way allistic people do, it doesn’t mean we don’t have them.

So these people are posting this video alongside remarks that are directly insulting and even triggering to actually autistic people. And then they’re patting themselves on the back like they’re so damn great for watching it. 

So yeah, NoTMS people, GTFO of the autism tag. This is not the kind of “awareness” autism needs.
