Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So, a bit of background, I guess:

I'm on the autistic spectrum. I've faced years of bullying at school because I was being myself, and I had a very confusing and anger-filled time growing up. It really wasn't easy. I'm now a depressed, anxious, insecure adult because of it. A lot of the stuff I faced was due to being autistic, and how I was treated by others.

I get annoyed every time I see those videos on social media where a kid with some kind of disability gets asked to prom, and then a post is shared around about it, and people see the non-disabled person as 'an inspiration'. In the UK, there's a show named The Undateables, and it's based around people with various disabilities finding love. That's fine, right up until they named it that. We're disabled, and we're seen as 'undateable' by the general public, and when we do get into relationships (Which is a normal thing), it's suddenly 'aww how sweet'. It's not seen the same.

My point is that I feel these acts are based totally around pity and condescension. The girl in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy, or the guy with down syndrome, or the autistic classmate, they're lied to and used by the other kids for 'kind points' on social media. I've spoke up about this a few times in the past, and I've been called heartless, hateful, and cynical because I disagreed. Damn it, they deserve to be invited to all the things, just like everybody else. It didn't NEED a media circus!  


Another example is when someone films them self giving food or money to homeless people. I find it incredibly telling how there's a camera rolling right before the act. They frankly don't give a shit about the homeless guy, they're just trying to portray themselves as kind and benevolent, when they're clearly just trying to get likes.  

I'm really sad and angry that this is happening.

AITA?
