This is from Christopher Tucker, a black man with "high-functioning" autism. It's from "All The Weight of Our Dreams", a POC autistics anthology I tooted about a few days ago.

Bullying and Abuse

I'm sick of the bullying and abuse of people on the autism spectrum so here's a list:

1. If someone says they have an autism spectrum disorder, back off and apologize.

2. Don't call autism an excuse. You don't know what they go through.

3. Try to give them a break. They don't know social situations like you do.

4. There is no cure for autism, it's a part of them.
