the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.

people really took the whole "jiang cheng looks like yu ziyuan" and "jiang cheng gets scorned lover treatment normally reserved for women" and interpreted that as direct guidelines to force femme him

seems like my dedication to my isolation isn’t going to save me. that’s crazyyyyy
