A screenshot of a Twitter (X) thread posted by Kristen Hanley Cardozo (@KHandozo) on September 17, 2020.
First tweet: The poster quotes one of her autistic children stating, "Huh, I just thought of this, so I haven't thought this through, but the behaviors most associated with autism are things autistic people do when we're upset."
Second tweet: The poster adds, "Not great, society."
Third tweet: She expands on her child's explanation about a situation where neurotypical parents asked if a child without meltdowns was still autistic, and autistic adults responded, "No, that means he's happy."
Fourth tweet: A retweet highlighting a reply from user "What duck?" (@geeoharee) that reads, "we can't distinguish autistic behaviour from trauma because our current society produces no un-traumatised autistic people."
