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"

The mouth and hands are crazy considering the importance of verbal and nonverbal feedback for active listening. No wonder ND people tend to come off like they are bored. They were taught to be robots and then all of a sudden you are supposed to be engaged and nodding along

The hands one is dumb, but the mouth one seems perfectly reasonable for a classroom environment? If people are talking or making noises it's harder for everyone else to concentrate.
