I have to be social tomorrow so now I have force my self to shower and get ready to have an onslaught on the r slur thrown around.
“I just get so nervous now that I know it offends you so I end up using it more!” literally shut the fuck up.

If I could somehow find everyone who ever bullied me and ask them why they targeted me, not a single one would say it was because I was autistic. None of them even knew I was.
Instead they’d say it was because I liked Pokemon too much after it stopped being cool, or my clothes looked ridiculous and I wore the same pair of jeans 3 days a week, or that I was just weird/nerdy/unpopular. In many, many cases, that is what neurodiversity looks like. Not someone with an obvious disability, but someone who’s just weird.
I see so many allistics and neurotypicals on here that claim to be anti-ableism but turn around and make jokes at the expense of people who are eccentric but harmless.
If you’re an allistic that claims to support autistic people, but then you turn around and make fun of the woman who wears a bizarre outfit or the guy who speaks in a monotone or the teenager who carries a teddy bear everywhere, you’re a bad ally and I don’t trust you.
Really good explanation of what happens during the “fight or flee” moments
good explanation of how it feels physically living with anxiety.
Funny, I explained all of these symptoms to my first responder friends in high school (one of which is now a paramedic) and like how I felt like I had been on fight or flight mode for like 3 days straight.
What they told me was that that was impossible and that if that was the case I would die. -_-
