Types of Internalised Ableism For Autistics:
Note: I'm late diagnosed, so I cannot speak for early diagnosed.
Feel free to add on.
Others have it worse, so I can't complain
I've done this my whole life. Can't stop now, even though it hurts
I can mask just fine. Why can't that autistic person just push through, too?
I haven't earned a day off
At least I'm not like "low functioning" people
If I was diagnosed before 2013, I'd be considered Asperger's. So, I'm not that autistic.
I know I have it tough, but I'm not disabled.
Being autistic means no one will want to date me. Autism is ugly, so I'm ugly.
That person saw me stimming, and even though it was helping me, they must now think I'm a freak
I don't act like that autistic person. What if I'm faking this?
I can't do this thing that would help me because my parents told me only r*tards need those things.
I can't ask for help. I just have to suck it up and do this myself, even though I feel like I'll die if I continue. I don't deserve/need help.
