Dude, there's a lot wrong with what you're saying. Firstly it insinuates that other oppressed people have their issues taken care of (they didn't.) And that rather band aid laws solve everything for everyone in the group. (gay marriage isn't going to stop so many trans people from being murdered and assaulted, nor does it address many bullshit laws that hurt trans people). It also assumes no autistics are involved in any of these movements, or that disability intersects with other oppressions. Yes, black people can be autistic. But because of racism, white people are more likely to get a proper diagnosis and care. Also, it ignores there is a large disability movement that has its own issues with acknowledging racism, sexism, queerphobia etc within its own ranks. It also implies there are no women, PoC, queer or trans people who have autism.
