-the amount if socialization you can handle does not determine your worth.
-your special interests are the deepest, most meaningful things in the universe.
-anyone who says your stims are shameful and wrong and gross are wrong. Your stimming is wonderful and you need to know that it isn’t wrong to stim.
-if you’re overstimulated, it won’t be forever. Everything passes, eventually you will be able to find a safe spot.
-your noise sensitivities aren’t a burden. People disrespecting that isn’t your problem, it’s theirs.
-your meltdowns are justified. people should not shame you for having a meltdown, especially if they are a cause of it.
-it’s okay that you exist. You were born to take up space and your existence isn’t a burden because it’s different.
