 The discussion about the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag is really annoying. It's the hashtag for Autistic people either self-indentified or officially diagnosed and if your research about the Autistic community didn't provide you this knowledge, then maybe you should do more research or ask the community before you start complaining. Who are you to criticise a hashtag that connected and empowered thousands of marginalized disabled people for years? (1/2) 
 There are a lot of gatekeepers out there harming Autistic people. Focus on them and stop harassing people who just want to share their experiences and connect. (2/2)

I love and have been helped by the #ActuallyAutistic hashtag.

I'm not giving it up.
