Autistic Hedgehog

[“There have been no studies proving that vaccines don’t cause autism!”

I’m not math expert, but I’m pretty sure “zero” and “thirty” aren’t the same number.]

I am legit not even exaggerating here, guys. 

[“Autism is life devastated.”

Oh, you’ve seen my bedroom, I take it?]

Okay, perhaps I’m being too flippant about this, because that’s a really shit thing to say about us, but come on…Drama llama much? Yes, sure, things like my desk look like they were hit by a natural disaster, but that’s really the extent of the devastation in my life.

Weeellll, unless you count being horribly rejected by my family because my autism made me too strange for them, but I’m done putting any of the blame for that on me or my autism. That’s all on them. I don’t know, it seems like there’d be less “devastation” from autism if people stopped freaking out and trying to find a place to point the finger of blame, and just learned to adapt to us instead. 

[I don’t want your awareness

I need your acceptance]

Feeling a little melancholy at the moment, and I can’t help thinking: Why can’t it just be okay that I’m me?

[“Autistic people are so violent, we should kill them all!”

…but that's not violent?!]

Seriously, allistic people, what. the. fuck. is wrong with you!? (Yes, trigger warning on that link like whoa.)

If we’re the violent ones, how come we’re the ones who keep ending up dead? Explain that to me please. 

I’m sorry. Sometimes I can’t help knowing my answer long before I can put it in words.

[Pledge to reopen Autistic Hedgehog

Promptly come down with a cold]

Ahahahaha, fml.

I’m still reopening the inbox tomorrow, but I may not be able to answer anything right away. It depends on how long this cold lasts. Honestly, with all the stress I’ve been under, it’s kind of amazing that my immune system didn’t cave sooner. 

But yes, the inbox will reopen regardless. It just might take a couple days before I get to responses, because I don’t brain well when I’m sick. (Does anyone?)
