Shoutout to the black autistic people who are in even bigger danger of police brutality than other black people due to the intersection of ableism and racism.
Shout out to the black autistic people who have trouble processing verbal information, who lash out when touched, who run away from loud sounds, who are non-verbal, who have body language and stims that could be considered odd or threatening.
Shoutout to the black autistic people who act, express themselves and react in ways that are considered socially inappropriate and who are in danger because of it. May you all be safe. Your lives matter.
