Autism Rights. Autism Acceptance. Autism Awareness. Children’s Rights. Child Rights are Human Rights.
The Autism Rights Movement, known too as the Autistic Acceptance Movement, is a social movement allied with disability rights that emphasises a neurodiversity paradigm viewing autism as a disability with variations in the human brain rather than as a disease to be cured.
The movement advocates for several goals, including
-Greater acceptance of autistic traits and behaviours
-Reforms of services – i.e. services that focus on improving quality of life and well-being instead of suppression and masking of autistic traits that are adaptive or not harmful or imitations of social behaviours of allistic or non-autistic peers
-The creation of social networks and events that allow autistic people to socialise on their own terms, and
-The recognition of the autistic community as a minority group
