hot take: autistic people shouldn’t have to disclose that we’re autistic in order not to get mocked for our behaviour

what i mean is i’ve seen/experienced way too many times where someone’s being ridiculed over doing something harmless and when the people doing the mocking find out the person’s autistic they’re like ‘ooohhh…….. well i didnt know…’ and apologize. like? at that point it doesn’t even matter if the person is autistic or not, if you’re making fun of autistic behaviour you’re making fun of autistic people, period. either you’re an asshole or you’re not, and autistic people shouldn’t have to inform everyone that we’re autistic in order to get some sympathy and be allowed to exist as we are without getting made fun of

Fun fact

People don’t do this because they feel bad about bullying you, they do this because being shitty to a disabled person makes THEM look bad

They have no sympathy. They don’t care about you. They just don’t want to look like a villain.
