To be fair to our autistic women and enby comrades, Its pretty much always been autistic men, but still.

You have no idea how many times I’ve been like “hey dont say that, thats ableism/a slur” and them be like “get over it/grow a spine/just words” and when I confront them about the fact that i’m autistic they’ll say “I am too, so what?”.

Just look at my post history right now. There’s one I’m arguing with right now.

it happens over and over.

    “The tragedy of autism isn’t the autismo and how sad it is for them, it’s for a world that has to deal with someone who is such a pain that basically no one can like them. That’s why the appropriate response to your diagnosis is deep shame and a compulsion to change, a lot.”
