Do ads have expiration dates for copyrights? Why would they reuse an old ad as it just seems… weird and lazy? Interested about hearing other views.

Edit2 : their explanation of it :
En détournant cette pub qui a été virale
et a marqué les esprits, notre objectif
est d’interpeller et de faire passer un
autre message. En utilisant un élément
de la culture populaire, nous pouvons
faire entendre notre message à des
personnes qui n’auraient, sans cela, pas
été intéressés par notre message sur
les troubles du spectre autistique. Nous
voulons interpeller, peut-être de manière
un peu choc, sur une réalité méconnue
du grand public.

  2. Hm, not sure if I like their accent on “1 ~~child~~ *family* out of 66”.

    Lots of people out there struggling to get some sort of help once they reach 18. Very few places to go, at least in Wallonia, especially since the last mess with Liège’s center.

    I was hoping that messages about a ‘reality poorly known from the public’ could help by not hiding other realities.

    ​

    Following in their video description…

    >Beaucoup d’enfants porteurs de troubles autistiques ont un déficit intellectuel, ne parlent pas, ne sont pas autonomes et connaissent des crises régulières.

    It is true. But some other children do not speak despite not having an intellectual deficiency. Or some have crises, while being able to speak and not having an intellectual deficiency. Or again, some are not autonomous despite nothing else of the above. In particular, a lot of them learn to ‘suck it up’ only to blow up when alone, sort of like a burn out.

    And again, not only children.

    I do appreciate the off-voice mentioning the noises, lights, people. These are indeed so many things autistic people frequently are highly sensitive to, which can cause situations like that video.

    ​

    Generally, autistic people around here trying to find help, find there is a lot of resources for parents. Which is funny, because normally, resources exist to help the person suffering, first, rather than the ones around. And then you very frequently see resources with wording such as ‘the death of your child’, ‘mourning the child you’ll never have’, all that. Consider a lot of autistic people have some sort of emotional dysregulation/sensitivity, and imagine how some of them must feel reading that.

    Better, the parents usually know better than the concerned children or adults, or even scientists, on the topic. When autistic adults call out suffering, they’re quite often just banned from these spaces. Parents want to train their child to not melt down, not to alleviate what causes these meltdowns. *Not all parents. Just a lot of them.*

    There are some associations, luckily, but they’re rare. I’m part of one that should be born veeery soon. We hope to provide that information and discussion space to autistic adults, by and for autistic adults. Then to tell the media and perhaps politics about things that would be useful. *Things like refunded medicines past 18 could be a start. That sort of stuff.*

    But the general message I meant is that autism doesn’t get cured once you’re 18yo. A strange amount of people think that.

    Perhaps somebody over at Cap48 will read this and they’ll upgrade the campaign for next time.
