hate that as nonverbal & HrSN autistic people say i have no quality of life because i can't live their way (the only way they see valid)
and when i say "actually i quite want to be alive and also i need support to have my basic needs met and am not getting that. but when i am alive i get to have my toys and plushies and animal crossing and everything that makes me happy and i would like to live more for those things"
response is either "well you're lying because if you were really that autistic couldn't use internet."
"i know person like you and it is clear they have no quality of life and so you shouldn't be alive"
or "those are no reasons to live. you need to be like these people (job, not need daily care, independent or mostly so, smart, speaking, don't injure self involuntarily, etc etc) to be worth keeping alive"
they get to say our lives would be better not existing. we don't get to be heard to say we want to be here, we just want the world to be better for us
