It's Been One Of Those Weeks Pass Me The Thinness Of My Life Quote

Maybe if I was prettier. Or maybe if I was more horrifying actually

The hard truth about autism acceptance that a lot of people don't want to hear is that autism acceptance also inherently requires acceptance of people who are just weird.

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

Like it or not, if you want to be an ally to autistic people, you're going to have to take the L and leave eccentric, weird people alone. Even if you don't know them to be autistic. You shouldn't be looking for Acceptable Reasons to be mean to people in the first place. Being respectful should be the default.

transphobes be like: “i inCISt you stick to the gender binary”

maybe i should become a criminal so i’ll know what it’s like to feel wanted

you could say 

callous hands made mine softer,

bitter words made mine sweeter,

and cruelty made me kinder,

like i'm a bleeding-heart blooming 

from trauma's soil,

but to credit my torment

is to undermine me;

you can choose to be vinegar

and i chose differently.

- "bleeding-heart"

the mentally ill urge to start sentences with “yeah, i’ve had clients who…” and then tell a story about yourself

please do not ask me what my plans for the future are, im quite literally still not convinced that i am even a real person
