Does anyone know what's actually happening with Facebook? My feed is full of ableist and right wing content from pages I don't follow, and my posts are being shown to a handful of people. Are they pushing for neurodivergent and disabled people to abandon the platform?

There's nothing 'wrong' because there's nothing wrong with being autistic. It's a naturally occurring, heritable neurodivergence. There's a lot more understanding, and far more people are being assessed. As the graph from @petewharmby.com shows, the actual prevalence is higher still.
