Hello, I appreciate your very well-worded reblog. I would say though that post was very personal, and I did not appreciate how it was approached. My cousin and I are very close. I know him much better than you do. I am going to have to delete the post now because it has led to a lot of criticism. I understand that there is a lot of infantilization of people with disabilities. I know he is dealing with her death in a different way. I continue to treat him with the love and respect he deserves.
Thanks for the message, and for having an open mind. Thank-you for acknowledging the pervasive infantilization of disabled people. Thank-you for loving your cousin for who he is.
I'm sorry that my post hurt you personally. My writing style does tend to be blunt and critical.
If you're posting personal things in the future and don't want any responses, not putting it under any tags, or tagging it "do not reblog", or avoiding the tags where autistic people hang out and generate discussion from posts (like #autism, #aspergers, and #actuallyautistic) can help.
