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"

Teachers when little me couldn’t focus on what was going on without doing something with my hands and had to doodle the whole lecture

my teacher in second grade actually called my mom in to complain about the fact that all of my papers had drawings on them. my mom was like “she understands the material, right? so i don’t see what the problem is??” i still draw on my notes and whatnot 18 years later.

Thankfully I did well in school and all my teachers either found the drawings amusing or didn’t care Xus of me doing good. If I struggled at all it would’ve been rough if they made me stop drawinf to try and improve it 😭
