anti-autism stuff
@elilla the "starseed child" thing is very much alive and well with antivaxxers and other conspiracy people who believe in established alien contact in the United States. I come across it regularly when looking for YTP video editing source material. It has extremely ableist connotations as it is a label conspiratorially minded ET-believer moms will label their autistic kids with instead of being helpful or understanding. To the extent that people on here might find mentioning it a traumatizing thing.

anti-autism stuff
@thufie @elilla Like, at least it's positive discrimination so it could be far worse but it's still patronizing
