The Autistic Union

Introduction

The Autistic Union is a revolutionary platform committed to the total liberation of autistic people. We are a communist network founded on the belief of abolishing capitalism, ableism, and all forms of hatred against autistic people, as well as against bourgeois psychiatry and all forms of ableism as an end goal. To do this, however, we had to create a platform for its use, which is why we use Discord to organize.

Why Capitalism and not just ableism?

The reason why we focus on both capitalism and ableism is because capitalism is directly tied to the oppression of autistic people. Sometimes this is through camps, and sometimes this is through commodifying us, but one thing stays the same: the exploitation of us via capitalism.
