hate when i say âi canât do [thing] because of my autismâ and hear (usually lower support needs) autistics say âwell iâm forced to do [thing] so i have toâ in response.
there will be autistics who never can do [thing] no matter how forced, no matter how punished, no matter how anything.
i canât force myself to do [thing] i canât do. not ever.
especially hate hearing autistics say âwell if i didnât do [thing] i would get abusedâ as if we autistics also didnât get abused, except we still couldnât do [thing].
you are dismissing higher support needs autistic who are or have been abused.
* [thing] here can be literally anything, doing chores, eye contact, speaking, socialising, get good grades in school etc.
