This is *extremely similar* to the narrative that, say, white people have about the excesses of "BLM and antifa" Like they really seriously think everything was going hunky-dory for race relations in the Obama years and then BLM "poisoned" everything

The word "rights" has a definition and orgs like Autism Speaks etc should not be allowed to use the phrase "autism rights" for their agenda because it is a lie At best they could be called "autism welfare"
