autistic person: I think I might be autistic.
neurotypicals: You can’t just self-diagnose with autism! Only professionals can know you well enough to know if you might be autistic! Professionals are knowledgeable and unbiased and their decision is 100% pure. you probably just decided you were autistic because you wanna be a special snowflake or something; a real psychologist could see through that!
autistic person: I am professionally diagnosed with autism.
neurotypicals: No way! You!? Autistic!? You don’t act anything like an autistic; trust me, there’s this kid that goes to my four-year-old sister’s daycare that has autism and they’re nothing like you! I swear, autism is like the new ADD or something! They just slap that label on anyone who’s a little weird! Don’t worry sweetie you’re not autistic don’t let their labels define you! Psychology is getting out of hand these days; crazy shrinks!

thatautismfeel:

that autism feel when you’re friends with someone who’s extremely draining and you finally befriend other people that don’t take as much energy to hang with and you want to hang with them more but the draining friend keeps driving them away because they want you all to themselves and you can’t tell them to stop because they take everything super personally

Person: mentally ill and disabled people are horrifying and scary

Shoutout to people who can’t stand loud noise because of anxiety or sensory issues or chronic migraines and have to deal with people being unnecessarily loud all the time but can’t do or say anything about it because that’s “rude” and “ruining everyone’s good time”

well maybe a shoutout’s not the best idea but we appreciate the sentiment

growing up a girl autistic can mean:

– finding most feminine clothing unbearably uncomfortable bc of sensory issues
– finding having long hair unbearably uncomfortable bc of sensory issues
– finding styling your hair impossibly hard bc of motor control issues
– finding wearing makeup unbearably uncomfortable bc of sensory issues
– constantly being shamed by everyone around you for not being feminine enough
– not understanding that not every single other girl in the world feels the same way but just deals with it bc they are stronger than you and care enough about appearing feminine the “right” amount
– growing up feeling weak and ugly and ashamed and disconnected from your gender when you otherwise wouldn’t
