In this mini-episode, Jeanne (she/her) talks about how splitting autistics between “low” and “high” functioning does immense harm, and how such labels and others are used to justify abuse as seen in both the Free Britney and Stop the Shock movements in response to current cases in disability rights in the US. These functioning labels over-simplify an autistic person’s capabilities and limitations, leading to assumptions about support needs that lead to some autistics losing all personal rights due to only minor communication struggles or lack of body control, while leaving other autistics struggling with limited or no accommodations because of assumptions around their “functioning” level.
Content warning for descriptions of both physical abuse and Nazi eugenics, warnings and times to skip are noted mid-episode.
