YouTube video with 10 million views where man exploits his autistic son so people donate money to a charity associated with Autism Speaks, which has no autistic board members and has recently partnered with Google to find what genes cause autism in order to ‘cure’ it (eugenics).
This video has 10 million views, is #10 on YouTube’s trending page, has already received $700k+ in donations, and has many popular Youtubers like MrBeast in the comments praising this man.
Aside from being associated with Autism Speaks, Next for Autism also supports ABA therapy and a member of their leadership, Alison Bush, worked for an ABA based center, First Leap, before joining Next for Autism.
Autism Behavioral Analysis forces children to suppress their symptoms of autism, such as forcing them to make eye contact, forcing them to stop stimming, and forcing them to deal with or ignore overstimulation, among other things. Nearly half of all ABA patients have PTSD and are more likely to experience it than people not exposed to ABA.
This is absolutely disgusting, as a father to an autistic boy, this man should know better than to support an organization that harms autistic children and is associated with one that wants to eradicate people like his son from existence, and is partnering with Jimmy Kimmel of all people, someone who has done blackface multiple times in the past. Great spokespeople for Autism, guys! (sarcastic)
Please spread this both by reblogging and sharing on other social media sites, and contact the people involved in the Color the Spectrum event to tell them that this is not OK.
just an fyi
israel has targeted communications and internet networks in gaza which effectively cuts of palestinians from the rest of the world
a significant drop in content across social media coming out of gaza in these last few days doesn’t mean the violence has stopped or that it’s over, it just means more voices are being silenced. it’s an active campaign by the israeli government to turn the world’s attention away. don’t let it fool you.
Ramadan Mubarak to all of my fellow Muslims, especially those who cannot fast. Just because you cannot fast does not mean this is not an important month ❤
Those who are hating on Simon for leaving Wilhelm and trying to move on so quick or willing to be a secret in the end...let me rehash your memories from s1 shall I?
1. Simon never gave a damn about Wilhelm being a Prince. He is anti-monarchist and subtly told off Wilhelm in their first class. Simon liked Wilhelm for the shy little disaster that he was. So when Simon made a move at him, he didn’t realize the complications that came with being a Prince.
2. But then Wilhelm told him to forget about the kiss and he realized that maybe Wilhelm wont want to come out and that's the first time he realizes this. But then Wille wants to spend the weekend with him so he forgives him thinking that maybe Wille is confused about his sexuality. Then Erik dies and Wilhelm again pushes him away. But again Simon forgives him because he understands how sad and depressed and what a messy situation Wilhelm is in.
3. But when Wilhelm denies the video, it just breaks something in Simon. Simon doesn’t mind keeping their relationship private, he basically did that the entirety of s1. But Simon realized that their relationship is something that needs to be hidden for Wilhelm and his family. It's like a dirty secret that can't come out. And whenever it will come between Wilhelm's family and Simon, Wilhelm will easily dispose Simon and choose his family over. And that's what Simon refuse to be,forever a secret, something to be pushed aside.
4. His animosity didn’t come from him not understanding Wilhelm's position. It came from Wilhelm trying to win him back when nothing changed. Simon doesn’t trust Wilhelm anymore to not push him aside when things get hard.
5. Simon dating Marcus was just him trying to move on. And trying to explore what it likes to be to be with someone openly. Maybe to hurt Wilhelm a little as well for treating him like a secret.
6. The reason why Simon eventually agrees to be a secret is because he understands through the course of s2 that him and Wilhelm are it for each other, there is no moving on from each other. And Wilhelm truly loves him and with time he will acknowledge their relationship publicly. Simon no longer associated keeping their relationship private as being a dirty secret. It was just a way to preserve Wilhelm's and his life and privacy.
So Simon's rebound, Wilhelm and his fights, his inner conflicts, all these plots were on point to show his character development. Sometimes as an audience we don't like a lot of things. But that doesn’t mean that we are right. We may want a lot of things but sometimes these sort of conflicts make stories and characters better.
