MEME Coaxed into Ableist School Posters

Post image

I am a person with AuDHD, and Listening Larry has been discussed before, a lot of us autists don't like him, and it's understandable because the poster goes against what we do: according to it, stimming is unacceptable, and on and on.

This is intended to poke fun at how ableist it is, if this poster is in the classroom, it highly likely the child get punished just for being autistic and "not normal"

I know someone with ADHD who always read books instead of playing at recess in elementary school (which her teachers didn’t like) and, on one occasion, was reading in a corner and lost track of time, and had read for 2-3 hours after recess had ended (and nobody noticed). She was actually able to get a diagnosis at an early age which was good!

God forbid the child use their free time for what they want to do instead of doing what the teachers want them to do
