weird how I became a much more compassionate and accepting person when I realised that drug addiction is the symptom of a problem and not the problem in itself

you also start to realise just how much the War On Drugs was actually a war against the poor, against survivors, against trans people, against sex workers, against the mentally ill and the disabled, against PoC, against queers, against the homeless. how much of it was a government manufactured ploy to sell violence against the marginalized as violence against addiction, as if addiction was not a symptom of systemic abuse.

It’s true and you should say it.

I really wish that autism research focused more on helping people who have already been born.

Or are over 15

Indeed.

and “helping” does not mean “eradicating”, just to be clear.

Or “silencing” or “making them allistic neurotypicals”

And “helping the parents of an autistic child” is not the same damn thing, either.

And neither is “finding a cure”
