however; the street lamp thing? definitely his autistic thing. lmao
i think having my autism invalidated for so long is what makes me despise it so much. getting treated like i dont have my own support needs due to autism and when i got further it became “well actually autism is a superpower and you do tons of things better than me because of it” like i havent had to struggle my entire life because ive been left on my own

Same goes for people spending huge amounts of energy complaining about “pick me” girls who are masculine in some way. They’re just finding a way to associate being a masculine women with Unpleasant Traits and then pretending it’s exclusively those Unpleasant Traits they’re making all their stupid-ass TikToks about

for a while my parents did both the “autism is your superpower” bit and also strongly considered legally filing to make my legal age of consent go up.
when i was older, of course, but like
they can do that?
only with my consent i think? but the implication is that they would drill that i needed into my head

and given the fact this was happening when i was 13 and an impressionable mormon boy its not that hard
they dropped it though
modern me would fight hard against that
… i also think im exaggerating the amount of thought they gave it but
actually it might be a judge court ordering it
for like. people with down syndrome
definitely NOT me
ive had it argued to me that im good at programming because im autistic. my mom also didnt get me support because she thought having the diagnosis would mean id be More Autistic like it was enabling me. i dont hold it against her but i cried constantly for all of primary school Im a little bitter
