The r word is actually a slur https://ibb.co/j5pZ1rZ https://ibb.co/S0jh7ST https://ibb.co/wWkqJrT It's mostly used against children on a higher point on the spectrum or just people that others find stupid Keyword is stupid Its a slur when it's used as a slur, yes some people that aren't on the spectrum might just see it as "just a word" but that's more of a reason just not to use it. I've seen the debate all the time but I won't fight you if you use it just don't use it at me or my friends. I'll delete fights because again: it's for educational purposes not starting arguments

I feel like I need to say this because it's been pushed around more like it's just a word but it's been used against me instead of people just communicating with me. I'm on a lower point on the spectrum but it still effects me

And if you're not on the spectrum you don't have any right to say if it isn't or it is, just stay out of it (I don't give any shits if you have a relative on the spectrum)

If people need more ss just look it up yourself and do some ****ing research instead of just guessing

People have just guessed so much my own family is ableist towards me and I'm losing it at this point

Also adding something on, cripple is a slur too (when its used as a slur)
