Autistic Hedgehog

[“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. 

[Allistic person says verbal autistics don’t have “real” autism

Wishes non-verbal allistics were a thing]

In other words, allistic people, STFU. Just because you have a child/sibling/cousin/uncle/whatever with autism does not make you an expert. And don’t make me have to tell you where you can stick this “real” autism nonsense.
