i know folks just kind of SAY things online and especially with young buckaroos there are just ‘lines’ that get tossed around endlessly online (not the hero we need etc. etc.) but i would just like to take a moment and mention something about this particular 'line’

i will give benefit of the doubt to buckaroo who posted this i am sure you did not think much and probably meant well with a little throwaway comment but please understand something about this

AUTISTIC BUCKAROOS have been compared to robots and machines our whole lives. we are constantly dehumanized in this way. so while it might not seem like much of a comment i would just say this for neurodivergent community it often feels like a deeply unkind way. it will likely only get worse as time goes on.

anyway buds who do this it is honest mistake i know you are not trying to hurt anyone just something to think on in the future. maybe just take moment to consider the history of dehumanizing autistic buckaroos and calling them robots

.

I know multiple autistic people who have not gotten paid for freelance writing assignments they did because the people they were turning those assignments in to decided their writing sounded AI generated. It wasn’t. It just wasn’t written by a neurotypical human.

That’s, uhhh. Fucked up.
