Get In Line!

stop starin' at me with them big ol' eyes

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.

Am I the only one who lowkey wishes their mother was dead

Like most people are always all "cherish your mom while she's still around! you never know when she'll be gone!" but I'm honestly not going to miss her at all once she is

I know some idiot is going to be like "yes you will you're just saying that bla bla bla" but like you don't understand, I GENUINELY will not miss my mother once she's dead

A lot of times she'll remind me of why I think this way, such as now, but it's one of those horrible thoughts that live in the back of my head that I don't really tell anyone because it's such a shocking thing to say

But honestly...? I don't even feel bad for thinking it. She's done so much damage to me emotionally that I just don't even care about her at all anymore. The reason I retreated to my room to cry is because I didn't want her to know she had the power to do that to me, I stay stoic so that she stays thinking I don't care about her

Because I don't, and I'm not sorry about it.

many autistic people need people use simpler words when talking to them

many autistic people need tasks broken into tiny steps to understand how do something

many autistic people need positive feedback in way that other think condescending

many autistic people childish and have childish interests

many autistic people have to always be supervised never alone because of risk of hurt self or get in dangerous situations

many autistic people have violent messy big meltdown, even in public

many autistic people struggle with speech always will maybe rest of life (non verbal, semi verbal, demi verbal etc.)

AND most of these autistic people higher support needs + level 2 & 3 autism, don’t forget or ignore us. can’t say “that not true just stereotypes” when it just symptom and sign of higher support needs higher level autism.

you want to raise awareness for lower support needs level 1 autism and yes good ok!!!! but not this way where throw HrSN level 2+3 autistic under bus.

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

Get outtta here Uranus!
