Letter to Amythest Schaber: Thank You Neurowonderful
Dear Amythest,
I’m new on Tumblr, and I’m actually Autistic, and I feel like this hasn’t been said enough.
Thank you Amythest Schaber,
I know I mentioned your blog and name a few times and you’ll probably never see this letter but on behalf of myself, your videos helped me discover myself as an Autistic. I have chronic headaches from sensory processing disorder, I have special interests in things like Spider-Man and autism and I have trouble with social interactions that led to me being bullied throughout all my school years for who I was.
When I had chronic pain for over 5 months and still have pain, I think of your videos and they give me strength. It’s content like yours that’s helped me accept myself. Your Ask An Autistic and Neurowonderful blog helped me personally through a dark time in my life, a time that I considered whether life was worth living. As long as there’s advocates like you and Amy Sequenzia and many others I’d like to list, we a/Autistics will see the day when society accepts us for whom we really are. You are a shining star and powerful advocate, and as an advocate for Neurodiversity, from the bottom of my heart, I congratulate you for celebrating a/Autistic people. I know it’s been a while since the last post and I sincerely hope you’re doing well, may God bless you. I’m not doing this to be thanked or for attention, I want you to know that what you do matters and I hope you continue your Ask An Autistic series/Neurowonderful for a very long time. You are one of my inspirations, and I’m sorry if this letter is a little mushy and fanboyish, but I truly admire you and would love to help you boycott Autism $peaks one day.
Warmly,
Robie
