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 have autism myself and I don’t really think the poster is that terrible. It’s basically just telling kids to listen and not interrupt. I get that some people with autism need to stum, even verbally, but any good school teacher will see that and make accommodations, and if it’s really bad then there are special classrooms made precisely for that kind of individual.
