having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.

yeah, you're autistic, but do you make fun of people who have "childish" or "immature" interests? do you look down on people who talk to themselves or use obvious, unmasked repetititive movements in public and/or avoid being associated with then? do you berate people who can't understand social cues and/or nuance and/or aren't adept at realizing when they're crossing boundaries as you are because you think that they "should know better"? do you treat people who can't always or ever tell that someone else is bullying / mistreating them like they're too clueless to have autonomy? do you look on in disgust at people who aren't toilet trained / don't maintain hygiene / have "gross habits"? do you view others who don't try as hard to mask and / or aren't as adept as "putting on a show" or "faking" their autistic traits?
