#autism mommies tw
angry angry angryvery very angry at the way not only children but autistic children specifically are treated like just another thing to film
talked to my mom about meltdown videos and she said “well they need to share their struggle” and “its a way to say ‘look what i have to deal with! stop making fun of my kid because its hard already’” and “its a way to find other people with the same problem”
problem
quiet part said out loud
fuck. fucking hell
we dont get to bekids we just get to be problems
i dont care if its hard. i dont care at all. i dont care about autism mommies’ feelings i dont care if they need support, you dont GET IT by filming your children in their most vulnerable state, i dont care i dont fucking care about autism mommies at all. if youre putting your kids meltdown on the internet you’re being a BAD PARENT and should feel like a BAD PERSON because you are
if you want support you go “any tips from adult autistics on managing my kids meldowns?” on facebook and then you listen
you dont film your kids crying in walmart you dont DO that
do you think you deserve to be filmed in your most vulnerable moments and put on the internet to be called a “problem”. if you dont then why do you think your kid does.
whys your kid not deserving of basic respect and privacy to you. why dont you think they deserve that
If I’m feeling extremely distressed to the point of a meltdown, the last thing I’d want is a camera in my face
