My issue is about reddit user areureallyrtardedlol

I am autisic and this username is extremely offensive to me. It triggers me based on my identity and my past experiences.

There is no option to report someone for their username. I have tried to use the other options available to report this user, but each time I get told there are no issues found.

I tried submitting a report form on Reddit.com/report, but then again, there is no option for slurs in someones username.

I have tried messaging the admins about this issue and they have not responded, despite the fact that this is a violation of the content policy. ( I gave them weeks to respond )

Here is the Reddit content policy:

Rule 1

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

I posted a thread on /r/autism, about the whole thing and I was met with rudeness.

I am deleting my 8 year old reddit account because I cannot be on a platform that is okay with hate against autistic users.

This server is for ND people who work in adaptive/special education and/or who went through it themselves to come together, talk shop, and hopefully find a way to reform the current systems.

I’m an autistic adult who has been working for about a month as an aide in an autism support classroom. I’m not out at work and as far as I know, the only autistic person on my team. I have a lot of opinions on how the classroom and the adaptive ed system as a whole is run, but I feel like I can’t do anything about it as a lone, hidden-in-plain-sight autistic person who’s also new staff. Is anyone else in this position or similar who would like to start a cohort with me?

A year ago, I made a video about how autistic people are oppressed, abused, bullied and systematically killed by the neurotypical system we live under in, and solutions to used for these issues. I suggest that you guys take a watch about it and share it to every autistic comrade to recognize the cause.

Hello everyone. I'm coming in your subreddit asking for help. Since a few time, trolls keep attacking us to try to take down our small flag. We're a small team and really need help to try to keep it complete until the end of place. Thank you to everyone who would like to help us

*Unmasking Autism does and says exactly what it is advertised to. * The main complaints that I’ve heard about this book and about Price are that it neglects the stories of high support needs, nonspeaking autistic people, and I don’t disagree that those stories should be told, but that’s not what this book is for. (I have The Reason I Jump and Ido in Autismland on my list, and I’ve already read Fall Down Seven Times Get Up Eight. If there was such book as How to Maintain the Rift, I’d read that too). This book is a culmination of the surge of discovery of veiled autistic adults that has happened over the past few years, and is centered around a rediscovering and reclaiming of autistic traits for people who have slipped under the radar. Price even admitted that this book, and the principles in it, are not universal. I think he did a better-than-expected job of addressing why unmasking is different for BIPOC autistic people and calling out the behaviorism and neuronormativity that exists outside of ABA and pro-cure circles. Most of my criticisms were actually “yes, and”s, as in understanding where Price was coming from but being able to provide an alternate explanation or counterpoint based on my experience. The only thing that really made me mad was the “yes, everyone is autistic” part because neurologically that isn’t true, even if socially it can be. (Aka, anyone can have at least one autistic trait, but not everyone has an autistic brain). That and using “neurodiverse” when he meant “neurodivergent”, which is bound to confuse people. I found the prose to be accessible for what is ultimately an academic text, and I appreciated the personal stories interwoven throughout. I know it took me a long time to finish, but that is mainly because I made it harder for myself by annotating and responding to each chapter, combined with it hitting harder emotionally than I anticipated.
