some people push this stereotype that all autistic people are smarter than the average population, which i never liked because i’ve always genuinely struggled with intelligence, and critical thinking. i wish i was the type of autist that can perfectly sum up exactly what i think and pump out essays about my special interests but all that goes on in my head when i think about my special interest is tv static and happy noises

“invisible disabilities” in my experience aren’t actually that invisible if you spend more than a few moments interacting with someone who has one. the term invisible disability is meant to describe people who aren’t perceived as disabled upon first glance. it’s not an excuse for abled people to ignore symptoms or struggles because they think the disability is supposed to just not exist because it’s not visible.
