Autistic people have to put up with neurotypicals making the environment hostile for us and then blaming us when we fumble due to THEIR casual disregard for our needs…but we are expected to always accommodate them.
Loud whistles
Yelling in our ears when you are upset with us
Waving hands in front of our faces or screaming our names when we space out
Constantly using our medical terms and making them slurs and insults
Taking our coping methods and stims and making them inaccessible in schools
Taking our coping methods and stims and making them socially unacceptable
Taking our coping methods and stims and down playing them to make them “cringy trends”
Expecting us to be able to handle the same workloads in schools just because “we act dumb”(we don’t, we literally have a different way of thinking)
Expecting us to take bullying “because that’s what autistic people are for”
Expecting us to take abuse “because people born with that disease are scum”
Making our neurodivergence worse than death by a dead disease (which could be easily avoided with vaccinations and flu shots)
Stating our neurodivergence is worse than having a miscarriage
Belittling us over our needs
Belittling us over our hyperfixiations
Portraying us in the media as terrible people who are crazy and deserve a padded room or jail
Taking away our dignity by outing us as autistic in public
And yet you ask us to shove it all down our throats, and shut up, because us trying to tell you “I don’t like when you do that” makes YOU uncomfortable.
Damn. Reblogging for this addition because it’s the truest stuff ever written about being autistic.
