In this episode I explain why autistic advocates, parents and researchers tend to clash so much and why people need to acknowledge that a big part of the burden of disability comes from an ableist society, and this burden shouldn't be placed entirely on disabled people and their families. Everybody out there needs to help us advocate for a society that is more accommodating towards disabled people, so our parents don't have to worry so much about what will be of us when they are gone.
