Proud to Be Retarded #1: Autistic Pride in a Neurophobic World

The R-word has been used against us as hate speech for decades. It's time to own this word for ourselves. Queer punks were told that they would be accepted as soon as they acted like straight people. Autism now occupies a similar place in the public consciousness at this moment: no one understands it.. These stories of overcoming and disputing myths will become the roots of the new autistic pride movement and the people who have suffered under the R-word should own it.
