once again thinking about how fucked up it is that special ed used me and other disabled children as unpaid, coerced labor. i worked enough to be making $100 a week. i was "paid" in fake money redeemable only at the school cafeteria, which i worked at, and was forced to do things that distressed me. they gave us $1 a week, if they remembered to give it to us at all.

this was while i would sometimes go the entire day without eating because i didn't have the money to buy food and the free food was not sensory safe. we also worked outside the community - grocery stores, warehouses, shoe stores security tagging items. all under the guise of job skill development, we did $100 of labor a week without ever getting paid. and we were demeaned while we did it. and we were just teens.

so no, i don't want to hear about how special education is good. not with the way me and my peers were treated and taken advantage of. death to institutionalization, in all forms.

I'm keeping reblogs off but we need to start an early education outreach that just takes every identified autistic child out of class for 45 minutes a day and explains in simple, forceful language, with extensive real-life examples, how the entire world starting with basic schooling runs on a totally unacknowledged foundation of various kinds of fraud. and how you're just supposed to pick this up osmotically and then never speak of it to anyone or ever admit to it. and how opting out of this system will make you a social outcast as well as physically and mentally incapable of actually getting anything done.

actually tbh as I’ve aged I think maybe the weird insane abuse me and my classmates suffered in sped wasn’t funny at all and maybe I should do something about It. Like.

-forcing kids with bad grades to sit in the back silently watching as the kids with good grades got to eat food the teachers brought in. I remember I had bad grades bc I had awful ADHD and when they came in with a bunch of snacks I was really excited and went over, and my ‘teachers’ stopped me and were like “sorry, you don’t get to have any, you have below C’s in some classes. You have to sit back there.”

And you couldnt leave like it was explicitly a punishment. I have awful like genuinely debilitating misophonia and have since I can remember, and I begged to leave to the library and they legit said no, because then I wouldn’t learn why grades are important or some shit like that.

-there was one single kid being disruptive, he wouldn’t apologize so they locked the doors from the outside and said none of us could leave until he apologized. They also stood in front of the doors and physically shoved any kid trying to escape away. I also looking back think they might have physically restrained some of us.

-constant busywork as punishment if you had bad grades. Like if you had no homework but your grades were bad they just forced you to do mindless busywork and would monitor you, and one time a teacher yelled at me because I wasn’t doing my busywork and I yelled back and we got in an argument, he made me cry, and then told me I could just sit outside the classroom if I didn’t like how they did things

-iep teacher who followed me around during school once pulled me out of class and told me that I was terrible and my friend was better than me. Later told him the same thing but in reverse (so said I was better than him)

-told me I couldn’t leave the class/program/whatever until I “graduated having ADHD” (not direct quote but that was essentially what was said)

-had a teacher who would get really in this one kids face constantly and scream shit like “are you maaad Daniel? Does that make you angry? Are you turning red now? Oooh ohhhhh you’re soooo mad oooohhh” and this was in 7th grade, Daniel was 12, this guy was probably in his 40s

And that’s just the stuff I remember. Like. Like that’s actually pretty bad right? I’m just like. Bc I was talking about it earlier today irl and my professor got really upset and also said some of it sounded illegal, and I was like haha you’re not the first person to tell me that, and then I was on the way home like wait that’s crazy why the fuck were they doing all that?

Ok but,

Ed finally getting an in with the high society crowd whose lives he had idolised (because it was as far away as he could get from the part of him he hated) and unknowingly leaving behind stede who wanted to escape that life because all it did was hurt him, only for everything to come crashing down on ed

honestly shoutout to autistic adults whose special interest is something aimed at really really little kids that most people tend to dismiss and mock the idea of an adult liking it. not specifically ones where culturally people accept them as a nice comfort thing like bluey, i mean people who are elbows deep into barney the dinosaur and peppa the pig lore. yall are stronger than any US marine.
