To anyone thinking that murdering people with autism is justifiable, please read this: “For years now, disabled activists have been working to fight back against the media presenting the killing of disabled people as understandable and our murderers as sympathetic victims. Unfortunately, CBS chose to perpetrate some of the most harmful tropes justifying the murder of disabled people in their recent segment. The reality is that the Alex Spourdalakis case, like similar ones, was not about lack of support. On multiple occasions, Alex’s mother turned down access to services, turning instead to the psuedo-science peddled by discredited former physician Andrew Wakefield and others. What killed Alex Spourdalakis was an ideology that preaches that disabled people only have two viable options – cure or death. CBS chose the wrong side of that fight.”
