Like Whatever

Being autistic means always feeling out of place and that feeling being made worse by the world who treats you like the biggest freak loser ever. Of course autistic people feel different yall make us feel that way!!!!! You never accept us and only accept those of us you can infantilize or use to make you feel better about yourself or as inspiration porn or as a way to feel like a Good Ally™️

It’s just so frustrating how time and time again we see that being autistic is only acceptable after a certain point. People who cannot mask or have too weird interests are always turned into the butt of every joke. I’m sick of being treated like a fucking joke.

You know what yeah perhaps I am fucking bitter that my weirdness has never been endearing. Perhaps I am fucking bitter that people cosplay acceptable weirdness online but god forbid you’re not conventionally attractive and autistic in the not fun and quirky way and you’re actually disabled. Then you’re treated like something to be shunned and mocked.

I’m sick of performative weirdos if your family doesn’t ignore your existence and exclude you from everything and act like you’re a freak and like they want to spit on you just for being you, you do not fundamentally understand yes I’m gatekeeping the concept of being weird #MyGate

Being the freak of the family is so dehumanizing. Seeing the rest if your family’s social media while they’re hanging out at gatherings and spending time together meanwhile they act like you’re from some urban legend except they don’t even remember you exist at all.

The framing of all ocd as just irrational thoughts is irritating like no it’s actually not insane to see the world as dangerous when constantly shit is happening that shows otherwise ESPECIALLY existing as a marginalized person in a world that wants me dead

Every chronically ill person deserves their own personal baymax
