[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an Autistic teen and I didn't think of the perspective of the girl who did the rejecting, although I agree that is a good point (especially knowing that some insulted her "he can do better" etc.). I might feel differently about it if everyone was clearly supportive of her and just trying to make him feel included. But an additional point nobody has made, the disability community typically doesn't like this kind of "inspo porn," like everyone feels bad for this poor Autistic kid so they shower him with valentines to make him feel better. As someone who has difficulty with social norms, that is SO confusing and very infantilizing. My kid would be thrilled and horrified at the same time.[/quote] OP - Good point [/quote]
