#NOTHINGABOUTUSWITHOUTUS
A note to neurotypical (nt) collaborators:
nt actors: do not play neurotypes; play actions.
nt directors: do not pull Autistic narratives towards your own familiar and biased perceptions of existence.
nt dramaturgs: do not synthesize the elements of Autistic media without the lens of the double empathy problem.
nt designers: do not theatricalize the minds of Autistic characters with reductive video art, or infantilizing and/or fetishizing design components.
nt producers: hire and pay Autistic collaborators--not consultants--to stop the perpetuation of eugenics as practiced on Autistic people in the media.
nt collaborators: don't just hear; listen.
