Autistic young people deserve serious respect and attention — not dismissal as the pawns of others.

Greta Thunberg
Even when autistic people are honored, like Thunberg was when she was named Time’s Person of the Year, we are immediately discredited as children, reinforcing the ideas that children and autistic people alike have no agency and our work is illegitimate.
Greta Thunberg is a powerful and visionary leader not despite her youth, gender, disability, or anger — but in large part because she is a young autistic woman rightfully angry about the repeated failures and refusals of people with the power to reverse our oncoming climate catastrophe to do so.
