What if, instead of always worrying about how autistic people can be "productive" members of society, we recognize that our autistic community peeps are already contributing members of society? TY, Neuromess. -SR

"Text reads, "A small but crucial shift: Let’s support our autistic and disabled students to be ‘contributing’ members of society. instead of ‘productive’ members of society.
“'A person can contribute through their presence, their perspective, their shared joy, their ideas, their supportive energy, or their actions, just to name a few. Focusing on making sure all our students are ready to shine in the world is what that word means to me.'
“'Productivity is, for me, linked to producing for capitalism. Disabled people and many others have been greatly harmed through eugenic mindsets that connect humanity with ability to produce.'”
