"stereotypical" autistic people are valid
- if you love math or outer space or trains or anything like that then you're so cool and wonderful, your interests aren't boring
- if you have a learning disability or were labelled "low-functioning" I support you too
- autistics who will never be able to live on their own when you're an adult- you guys are not burdens or lazy. you just are getting the support you need to exist in a world that isn't meant for you and that's fine
- if you are 'visibly' autistic and can't pass as neurotypical and wish that people would say "you don't look autistic" to you, then your feelings are valid and your face and body and how you move are perfect how they are
- autistics who struggle with anger issues and have loud scary meltdowns are valid too and deserve respect and help
- to Autistics who have trouble with incontinence or need help using the bathroom, you are NOT gross. I promise that no true friend will ever judge you for that
- to autistics with little or no empathy who have a difficult time understanding other people's feelings, you are not inherently evil or mean
You guys are all good. You are not a useless or bad person, and are not "making bad stereotypes" by just existing as your self. As long as you always try to be kind and make the world a better place, even if it is in a very very small way like being nice to your friend and making them happy, then you are a good person.
