Just recently I started a page on Tumblr. www.nsvar.tumblr.com Between using Buffer and Friends+Me all of my posts reach all of my social networks. Sometimes I find interesting web articles, though I may not agree with the content, and I post them to encourage discussion. I try to stay away from overtly political or religious posts.
Sometimes I post motivational pictures. Granted, I didn't personally make them, but they are motivational and worthwhile just the same.
It turns out that Tumblr is full of people who look to have a problem with everything you post. Not sure if you people are autistic themselves or if they are just Ornery people who think that their worldview is the only valid worldview.
One motivational picture was called "ableist / ableism" by one Blogger. Another was just out right called "shit". Some responses are multi-paragraph tirades while others are just grumblings.
Very sorry these people are so angry at the world. I happen to have a son with autism so I am not ignorant to the situation. I could choose to be angry at the world, what would that solve?
Nothing.
Negativity breeds negativity.
I know many parents with low functioning children who have every right to be angry with the world. But they aren't... They work hard to do the absolute best for their child, they keep a smile on their face because their productivity and positivity is contagious. They are active in the special needs community and they are wonderful all around parents.
So here's my message to all the complainers on Tumblr:
Put a sock in it. If you don't have anything nice to say, just don't say anything at all.
And have a great day!
