The Autism Challenge on TikTok is a viral trend that involves able-bodied individuals pretending to have a disability by mocking various behaviors, gestures, and facial expressions associated with autism. The challenge has been widely criticized by the autism community and beyond for being offensive and hurtful. Many people with autism and their families have expressed their frustration and anger at the challenge and the image it provides of their community. The Autism Society of America has issued a statement condemning the challenge and urging TikTok to remove the content and apologize to the autism and disability communities for this shameful activity. TikTok has since removed the offensive hashtag and videos from their platform. The challenge has been described as cyberbullying and an example of ableism. Disabled creators and advocates have used social media, including TikTok, to denounce the challenge and promote acceptance and inclusion.
