      Youtubers Myka & James Stauffer raised money to adopt an autistic boy from China, made him their brand, & picked up major sponsors. A few years later, they secretly put him in the foster system, vacationed in Bali, and pretended he didn't exist for months. It gets worse.pic.twitter.com/ThYZMeNtyT

      The Stauffers were understandably struggling to meet autistic Huxley's needs, but were already looking for a new child, one with "special needs" that are "easy" that "most people wouldn't consider easy". They wanted to try again and reinforce their white savior brand.pic.twitter.com/xOtWn4IyJU

          A lot of changes started happening. Huxley made their subscribers grow, and they picked up major brand deals with companies like Fabletics & Dannon. With that money, they bought a luxury home & had another baby. Children with autism can struggle with change, so things got harder.

          The Stauffers duct taped Huxley's hands to get him to stop sucking his thumb as a coping mechanism when he was 2-3. But here's a photo of their biological daughter at age 7, sucking her thumb with no tape. They also recorded his meltdowns.pic.twitter.com/ciJB7EcusF

          Instead of taking a break from YouTube to work through their issues, they put Huxley in foster care. They went on vacation & scrubbed their pages of comments asking about Huxley. They didn't address it until months later. They said their nonverbal son wanted to be rehomed.pic.twitter.com/KLBcdP0gMV

          I was a fan of the Stauffers years ago. Yes they have to consider their other kids. But shopping for children w/ disabilities because the first didn't conform to the aesthetic of a perfect family once you got that $? With so many fans looking up to them, it needs to be called out

          Please don't send threats to/about the family. We don't want them trying to retaliate against any commenters, and they still have children who had no part in this. Sign the petition, discuss, etc. Thanks guys 🖤

          I've been corrected for saying "autistic boy" but also "kids w/ autism". I appreciate it but most autistic people here say to not use person-first language so let's respect that & not speak over them. You wouldn't say "people with blackness". You'd say black people.

          Update: The Stauffers say they put Huxley in a home of their choosing and not in foster care. This means they (most likely) circumvented state vetting to put him in a new home. There's a movement to ban this practice as it can facilitate trafficking.
