Things we need to get rid of in 2020

- transphobia and homophobia

- antivaxers movement

- Autism speaks

- shame/embrassment about disabilities/mental health

- toxic people who bring you down

- human sex trafficking

An adult autism diagnosis can be such a relief for people who spent their entire lives thinking something was wrong with them. Spending their lives being called a freak, crazy, and worse things that I'd rather not put here. We're none of those things. We're autistic, and we're awesome!

I didn’t ask for this

they call it being Hyper-empathetic. it’s a symptom of ASD. they explained it like a broken slider. it changes based on the situation, one problem the slider might be to the left or to the right, but usually somewhere in the middle. when you have ASD there is no middle. only one side or the other. either all the empathy you can give or complete detachment. for me it’s stuck to the left, all the empathy. sometimes I think of how much easier it would be if I just didn’t feel that at all. dare I say it. but feeling nothing sounds better that feeling everything. I didn’t ask for this. I didn't ask to feel the weight of the world without being able to help. I am atlas had he been crushed. feeling and seeing everything is not a gift, but a curse. I didn’t ask to be consumed by emotions that aren't mine. to be exhausted with trama I didn’t have. “oh you would be a great therapist, you always have such great advice and are so willing to listen.” they don’t see it. They don’t know. I feel the pain they do. To see and feel an event unfold, as if you were a silent witness. Watching helplessly. having my hands bound by the bonds of time. I didn’t ask for this, none of us did.

Instead of  focusing on the    negatives  of  Autism  celebrate every  accomplishment,  Autistic  people  will  do  things at  their  own  pace.

Shout  out  to  nonverbal  Autistic  people and  those  who  go  nonverbal  sometimes  you’re not weird you’re  awesome and deserve  respect

Being Autistic is  rehearsing  what  you say  before  you  talk  to someone new

Being Autistic  is listening  to the same song every  day  over  40+  times

Accommodation for  disabled  people  are  a  human  right  NOT  a  privilege
